Hi all, Making a decision about best way to get a direct drive extruder / better hotend for my CR10 Max. It seems a toss up between bondtech and e3d unless any other suggestions - as feedback I suspect e3d may offer better extruders/hotends, but make it far harder to give my cash as the site is an array of 'tinkerers' options whereas Bondtech are putting it on a plate for customers, eg: https://www.bondtech.se/en/2020/05/21/about-bondtech-ddx-direct-drive-extruder-for-creality/ Can anyone recommend the best set up for my CR10 Max? Naturally want as high print speed as possible - only printing PLA and PETG (latter very occasionally). Hotend: I 'think' a volcano or a supervolcano appears best, but online people seem to lean towards the volcano as better than the supervolcano for some reason. Extruder: The new hemera doesn't appear to be particularly good for this (saw a few posts saying it struggles to keep up with the throughput of the volcano/SV? So this leaves the Titan Aero or the Titan (assuming they're the same, just the former has a fan included). Plan: So picking through all this, I 'think' my starting point is: - Get a Titan Aero (and bin the v6 nozzle/kit from it) - Fit a supervolcano to it - Find some upgrade kit on thingiverse with parts to print - Also need to check what voltage the CR10 Max uses - Also need to check the power supply is suitable Would welcome any advice/tips obviously this is vs Bondtech's 'click this button and you're sorted' which is appealing as they've made the effort to package everything, even if as I say it may not be quite as good....!
