Brutstruder
The design goal for this extruder was an extremely reliable, no compromise, multi platform extruder, that builds on all the most successful ideas currently available in thermoplastic extrusion. At the same time I wanted an extruder that could easily be printed on a Makerbot build plate with a as large a raft as possible to allow those who do not have a heated build plate to print it easily.

It's the Kysan/Makerbot gearmotor using the MK5 wormgear and a 608 bearing idler like a wades extruder. [[2]] /u/2/rDfqKXrQ0lI]
