This is a co-development work with awesome guys in the Prusa Community like
Chris Warkocki, Grégorie Saunier (Bear Upgrades), Olof Ogland, Erik Bjorgan, Josh
Jones, Kyle Wiehe, Marc Evertz, Matt Harrison, Ocie Ward, Sando Bendig, Vecko
Kojchevski (Vecko Extruder), Steven Mölby that have provided excellent feedback
and suggestions of how to develop the "perfect" extruder setup for the Prusa series
printer. A lot of work has been spent in this project and we have tried to listen to all
the inputs in order to find a solution that can be fitted to a Prusa I3 MK2, MK2S,
MK2.5 and MK3.
Introduction
This kit contains the necessary parts to convert to our freshly designed
extruder that uses 3:1 gearing ratio for improved precision and resolution,
optimized geometry for the heat-sink cooling and many other improved
features.
It also reduces the moving weight to reduce vibrations and ghosting
.
