I got my free #printrbot extruder in the mail yesterday. I am really liking the design. Thanks @Brook_Drumm

How did you get it for free?

It is on their website. It was like $4 for shipping.

It will soon sell for $19. Open source- files available Monday too. Brian did a great job. Flexible filament works too! I especially love the click when you put in the hotend. It holds it there even when you loosen the screws- nice touch, Brian. Man that was a hard mold to make!!

This looks cool - is there one available for the Bowden setup?

This is a direct drive extruder for printrbot printers. @Dushyant_Ahuja

I just added my email to the waiting list. Why is this extruder better than the alu one??

It’s not better, it’s cheaper but performs the same. Just saving people money and improving our bottom line. I’ll save $15 per bot that I use it on.
