Introduction

<videoflash type="vimeo">10269267|640|480</videoflash>

I wanted to design a universal extruder driver that could

  1. Be bolted to the X carriage of Mendel and run as a normal extruder,
  2. Be mounted somewhere at the side and drive a Bowden extruder, and
  3. Be mounted somewhere at the side and drive a Bowden paste extruder, as outlined here.

This is my first hack at a solution.

This design was made to extend Wade's neat geared extruder that you can find here. (Wade's design was based on my original here.)
