I installed an Orbiter V2 on my Ender 3 and when I tested the steps and gave it 100 mm extrusion, the extruder made a tag tag tag noise like too much filament being sent to the nozzle and it was getting clogged. It's like sending the filament to the nozzle very fast. Could you please help me how to solve this problem?. Thanks for the help ! ! !
I work with flexible filaments often too, thank you for helping to adapt the orbiter to be more flexible-friendly! What hotend would you recommend to pair with the orbiter for printing flexibles?
Hi Tyler, I've been printing TPU just fine on my mosquito magnum but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for flexible only; it seems that the tight steel heat break causes a lot of friction down the throat and I have to crank up PA to 0.65! I'm looking into implementing a hot end hot swap, possibly using a PTFE lined hotend, more suitable for flexibles I've had great luck with a simple MK8 hot end in the past, just looking to reproduce the same setup
not quite; if you think about it the larger the extruder wheels, the thinner the guide has to get to reach all the way to the tangent point. It's all a matter of compromises :)
So I guess you never made that video about the final conclusion that you mentioned in the end? :) I'm curious to know how you like the v2 now after one year.
Hey Mate, hehe true I'm not much of a youtuber, but I sure have been putting quite a few spools through it; mostly TPU but also PLA, PETG... Once I had it setup with the adjustable downpipe at the absolute closest I've never had a single issue with it. I don't reckon I've even opened the breach for the past 8months or so. Makes me think I should probably have a look just for preventive maintenance, could do for a video by itself even; we'll see if I can spare the downtime. Either way it gets a solid 10 in reliability for that manner. I've pushed it to the limits of my mosk mag volumetric rate even, over 40mm3/s, faster than I could cool it actually. Very impressive all across the board
@@fractalengineering Thank's a lot for that reply, even if I'm not OP. Do you think - given the proper hot-end, thinking a Phaetus Dragon HF currently - this would be able to get to 50mm3/s?

Thanks man, nice review! Much appreciated for all your help on injection mold design!
I really appreciate the effort in making extruders smaller.
Looking forward to see the Orbiter V2.0 in action!
Thanks for the first look. Please let us know how it works for printing flexibles!
Nice comparison, thank you for your work!
looking forward to A/B print comparison!
Glad I saw this before committing to a V1.5 and probably not be satisfied. Thank you for the in depth comparison.
Can you post a link where to purchase the 2.0 and the 2.0 motor. Also very excited for the test with flexible filament
Great topic, thanks 👍

@@fractalengineering Surely thats a typo 0.65 there is no way
@@95LegendGS nop that's what I said :P
Nice extra info! I wanted to add, that the transport gears also have a bigger diameter, if I´m right.
what do you mean by transport gears?
The knurled gears that are grabbing the filament. I think they are bigger now, but I could be wrong.
Have you tested sherpa?
Is there a point with this though when now we have the lgx, the larger gears will prop make it easier to get the hole closer to the gears

Получилось ли протестировать?
Is the Orbiter 1.5 Mounting the same as the 2.0 Mounting? So the hole diameter, hole distance etc?
nop, the bolting points we moved to be colinear with the extruder hole
@@fractalengineering okay, thanks for the info :)

Can you share the stl File for the orbiter 1.5 housing?
sure I just uploaded it there www.thingiverse.com/thing:5449737
Thanks!
You pronounce it orbit-er not bite. Called this presumably because it uses planetary gears and planets orbit stars.
