Bondtech Direct Drive Extruder

This is the default extruder. It’s compatible with both an E3D V6 and an E3D Volcano hotend. This extruder will work with the fabrications specs below with nozzle temps up to 250C and a bed plate temperature up to 80C.

Note: motor heatsinks are not optional! If you operate the motors without heatsinks, the tool plates will warp from the heat. Exposure to radiated heat from the nozzle and the bed is fine up to 80C
