Rostock v2 - Bowden Extruder Upgrade
Posted: Mon Mar 02, 2020 11:01 am
I am looking to upgrade the extruder setup on my v2.
I am talking about the spring tensioned knurled gear portion of the extruder.
The stepper motor is all fine.
I keep having issues with filament getting stuck, and I never really liked the setup anyway.
The issues always occur when I'm not watching the machine, so I don't know whats happening.
But too many failed prints and I'm ready to replace things.
Does anyone have any upgrades known to work well?
I found some things I think might work, the this.

Just figured I'd ask you folks before purchasing.
Thanks all!
