In this article we are going to talk about the types of extruders and HotEnd most common in the world of 3D printing. Before starting it should be clarified that everything cited is the result of our experience always using products from leading brands, such as the products of E3D Online, a company of high-quality 3D printer components specialized in extruders, HotEnd and nozzles. This nuance is necessary because if extruders and low quality HotEnd are used it may be the case that the characteristics that we comment below aren't met.
The main function of the extruder is to move the filament from the reel to the HotEnd in the most precise way and at the speed suitable for 3D printing, but there're different classifications of the extruders. In this post we will analyze the main ones.
Within extruders there are two types depending on the type of drive: Direct and Bowden. In the direct extruder, as its name suggests, the filament runs directly from the cog of the extruder to the HotEnd. There are even systems in which these two parts are together, as in the Titan Aero.
In the Bowden extruders, on the contrary, the connection with the HotEnd is through a PTFE tube through which the filament passes.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
The HotEnd is responsible for melting the filament to make the desired piece. It configures the type of HotEnd (V6 or Volcano) and the nozzle depending on the diameter of the material, depending on the type of piece, quality and finish you want to obtain. We classify the extruders in the V6 and Volcano types and then we mention the advantages and disadvantages between these two types of HotEnd.
Some manufacturers call the HotEnd depending on the extruder system and the filament diameter that you want to use. For example, E3D Online uses the designation "universal" for its 1.75 mm HotEnd (universal direct and universal bowden) in which the TPFE tube reaches the interior of the Heat Break, channeling the filament without interruptions to the heating block. For the 2.85 / 3 mm HotEnd simply use the designation "direct" or "bowden".
For our part, we recommend that each user study their particular case based on the type of parts and the speed with which they want to 3D print but always using first-class components that ensure quality in all their products.
Gran artículo, este post junto al de esta web: https://tublogen3d.com/impresoras-3d/extrusores/Son Ambos los mejores para aprender acerca de la Extrusión para Impresoras 3D.Mil gracias por el esfuerzo!
Gracias a ti por leer y reconocer nuestro trabajo!
Hola.Me interesa la s42 yo soy de México tienen sucursales aquíO cómo puedo hacer mí pedido
Por favor envíenos un correo a [email protected] con sus datos para tramitar el pedido.
Buenas! necesito imprimir flexiprint en una ender 3. Tengo entendido que al tener todo de fabrica, el filamento dará problemas, que upgrade tendria que realizar? Gracias!
Para el tipo de extrusor que tiene tu impresora (MK8) tienes una solución fácil. Debes sustituir el tubo del interior del barrel (Heat Brake) por uno más largo, que tenga en la punta superior la forma en pico justa para quedar lo más próximo a los piñones posible. También existen en internet algún kit para modificar la forma del extrusor.
Buenos días, tengo una Anycubic Chiron y quisiera comprar una boquilla de 0.1, no sé dónde conseguirla y si debe ser e3d o puede ser mk8
Nuestros compañeros de soporte técnico se han puesto en contacto para conocer mejor las necesidades concretas y darte la mejor solución.
Hola, buen artículo. Tendrán alguno sobre los distintos tipo barrel? (Allmetal, ptfe pasante,etc)
Buenas tardes, tengo una duda acerca del extrusor e3d v6, acerca de si puedo introducir filamento PLA o ABS tanto 1.75 mm como 2.85 mm. O solamente el extrusor es para cierto diametro del filamento?
Hola Ricardo. No es posible imprimir ambos diámetros en el mismo hotend. Existen dos versiones del V6, una compatible con filamento de 1.75 mm y otra compatible con filamento de 2.85 mm. En ambas el bloque y el disipador son iguales, pero el diámetro interno del heat-break y del nozzle son diferentes.
