Hi! I am searching alternatives to Bondtech Dual drive extruder and I found BQ’s one: http://www.bq.com/es/heatcore-ddg-extruder-kit but I dont need the hotend or motor as I already have one. Do you know some cheaper alternatives to Bondtech? I dont mind paying for good tools, but 150 is still too high for it.

You could always buy the mechanical kit and print the housing. Its really hard to beat the Bondtech
Have a look at E3D’s newest creation; Titan.
For a bowden setup you can have a look at @Michael_Memeteau 's Saint Flint extruder at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:979113
I am running the Mk8 version on my UMO clone.
I agree with Daniel. The Saint flint is similar with the dual gear design. Plus you use Bowden so it’s just a little more tube!
I’ll throw our Printrbot gear head extruder into the mix. It’s about as simple as it gets and the files are open source on youmagine.
You could always get the Bondtech Mini parts and make an extender that uses standard Nema 17 motor. Cost would be less and still give the benefits of a Bondtech. You can print the housing and parts are like $60 US
I forgot about the gear head. From what I’ve seen it delivers nice performance.
Ha! Corrected the spelling
