##Belted Extruder V4## The Belted Extruder v4 is a precision-crafted Geared Extruder designed to deliver optimal accuracy, resolution, and power using a high-quality GT2 Belt and robust Aluminium Pulleys. This BEv4 is an advanced iteration of my earlier <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1764551" target="_blank">Belted Extruder V3</a>, which boasts larger bearings for enhanced performance. I've recently published a separate design, the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2759789" target="_blank">Belted Extruder v4 2.85/3mm extruder</a>. **Proven Track Record** I've been utilizing the v3-4 for over a year and can confidently attest to its exceptional reliability. My initial print in PLA is still running strong, demonstrating the design's durability. Aside from countless users who have successfully deployed this design, I'm also aware of several companies using these extruders in their printer-farms due to their affordability and minimal maintenance requirements. **What is a Belted Extruder?** A Belted Extruder is a geared extruder that employs 2 aluminum pulleys and a belt to drive the filament drivebit. This design offers numerous benefits, including: * Silent operation thanks to belt usage * Higher accuracy and longer lifespan due to aluminum pulleys compared to printed parts * Design of printed parts for rigidity and stability * No hard-to-print gears that degrade and lose accuracy over time * All components are readily available, eliminating the need to purchase key components from me * The extruder measures 90mm by 52mm. Dimensions can be found further down. **Different Models and Features** There are various models and accessories available, all centered around the standard model. The defining changes for new models are listed separately below the "Belted Extruder V4 versions and BOM - standard features" section. **Examples:** * Brackets for horizontal mounting * A version designed for GT2-200 belts * A version optimized for 2.85mm/3mm filaments
