Anyone interested in selling their geared extruder from the original Rostock Max kit?

Curious as to what you want it for, I had a terrible time with it. What's it worth to you? I have one I wouldn't cry to see go. :D

I assembled a folgertech kossel 2020 kit. The included direct drive extruder is very weak. I'd like to use the Steve's extruder because it has a gear ratio that makes it strong.

Jimustanguitar PMed with offer. The other people who bought a folgertech 2020 are also seeking a better extruder (freenode #folgertech).

Check out Drew's planetary geared extruder or one of the many versions of the Greg/Wade extruders. RichRap made one meant for 1.75bowden.

I printed the parts to the RichRap geared bowden extruder and am waiting for the metal parts to arrive.

Try to do the gears in PLA if you haven't, they will last longer.

Yes, I did. I printed a set of normal-style and herringbone-style gears.
