    Have you set the price yet?

    Also, I built the IDEX Bowden using Nimble Extruders. Still figuring out settings but it seems to be a good combo. :)

    Greg can you have a word with the sales department? There's a few of us here that would love to use the benfits of an integrated lead screw. (Yes I know that I'm being as bad as one of our customers at work when they find out about the new shiny thing!)

    Let us know if there is an improvement to print quality, maybe the same model printed before after?

    Are there any specs on the straigtness tolerance of the leadscrews? I was tempted previosly to upgrade to Misumi ones as they could asuure straighness. My current screws are really wobbly! I'm hesitant to invest if theses new ones are also slightly wonky!

    No data, it's not something they provide.

    I can say they are straight though. No wobble. A huge improvement over the coupled leadscrews.

    Greg, is the anti-backlash nut an improvement in this application? Is it a waste of time to install the provided POM nuts?

    BTW, not only are the screws straighter but the stepper plus screw combo is very quiet and smooth - :)
