Talk:Herringbone Extruder Driver

This extruder seems to use much more plastic and more difficult to print. The advantages seems to me not expressive. I still think Wade extruder still the best. But I like to see this new one, is beauty because looks a more complex machine ;-)

Your right, the advantages of this over Adrian's and Wade's are small. Actually, the advantages of any of the extruder drivers over another is minimal IMHO, its just a matter of personal preference. Also, as you say it is trickier to print and uses more material. I think the main different is the height of the gears, these are 12mm. I think we should be able to go down to 8mm without to much trouble; but I wanted to err on the side of caution, at least to begin with. Rhys
