3D printers with direct extruder Direct

Direct extruder

— direct type of extruder with the feed mechanism placed directly on the movable carriage. This provides a number of advantages, in particular, the ability to print with flexible plastics even at high speeds, insignificant printing errors due to the minimum feed distance, fast and convenient replacement of printed materials. At the same time, Direct type extruders have large dimensions and weight, which entails increased inertia - when errors are detected, such a carriage cannot be stopped instantly, and its weight must be taken into account when programming printing.
