flex3drive

This fan duct is compatible with the flex3drive Effector; however, it can also be used with any standard effector due to its adaptable design. Edit 1: The second version provides more airflow through the duct. The updated "support" now features...

I use a black PrintBite https://flex3drive.com/printbite/ printing surface on my Ultimaker 2 and find the IR probe works well. I haven't tested it just using the Glass surface but that might be problematic due to the way the IR sensor works. I've...

2 models of remote direct drive extruders are available on the market: [Flexdrive](https://flex3drive.com/) or [zesty nimble](https://zesty.tech/products/nimble-v3-the-flex). Both use a single drive filament hobs gear. Both have a very high...

Version with Precision Piezo Holder Available Too: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4189461 (btw, no clue why Thingiverse is not rendering STL's, they are all ok and available in thing files) I'm Testing with Some PRC Blowers "[Magic Dragon...

I've got an Ender 3 and really liked the idea behind the Flex3 drive system - this has to be the lightest direct drive system for any printer, check it out at https://flex3drive.com. The problem is that I wanted to change my cooling fan setup to use...

Unfortunately, the "fix" was for the Ultimaker 2 and required buying worm gears (similar to https://www.youmagine.com/designs/modular-printhead-ultimaker-flex3drive-merlin). Here is a version that fits on an Ultimaker Original and Ultimaker Hot-End....

It is not the most optimal setup as only the right blower can be mounted so you have single side cooling and the dedicated X-Carriage should be used really as some weight could be saved here but if you want versitility to use with same X-carriage...

20-30:1 gear ratio reduces a lot this effect but the stepper will not be able to provide decent filament acceleration slowing your printed drastically down because it has to wait for the extrusion (this is the case for the Zesty Nimble, the...

Extruder Mounting The extruder mount is specifically designed for Flex3Drive G5, the latest model available. However, if you prefer to use a bowden setup, simply re-drill the filament hole on the holder and screw in the bowden tube holder. You're...

Marlin/RRF reference: 1900 steps / mm (rotation_distance = * / * ) # values set for Flex3Drive G5 Flex Extruder rotation_distance: 7.71 # Triangle Lab BMG clone full_steps_per_rotation: 200 # for a 1.8 stepper #gear_ratio: 19:16 # values set for...

The one labeled 1-40 ratio is a 1:40 gear reduction to achieve the same resolution and power as the flex3drive. The unlabeled one is a 1:13 gear reduction designed for use with a Titan or Bondtech extruder, which already has a 1:3 reduction. This...

# Introduction Remote direct drive extruders like the Flex3Drive (and its clone the Zesty Nimble) use large reduction gearing at the toolhead side to keep high torque from the extruder hob off the flex shaft. This has a side effect of seriously...

Marlin/RRF reference: 1900 steps / mm (rotation_distance = <full_steps_per_rotation> * <microsteps> / <steps_per_mm> * <gear_ratio>) # values set for Flex3Drive G5 Flex Extruder rotation_distance: 7.71 # Triangle Lab BMG clone...

The result is an extruder that while slightly larger than the Flex3drive or the Zesty nimble, has about twice the theoretical filament push force for around the same mass. It's also open source. I've included step files for most of the major...
