LDO Motors Smart Orbiter Extruder V3.0

The Smart Orbiter Extruder V3.0 is a dual drive all-in-one extruder that has similar mechanical performance to its predecessor V2.0, but has been optimised in many ways, especially design-wise. The lightweight extruder has integrated electronics and is Klipper-optimised.

⇒ Compared to its predecessor, the Smart Orbiter V3.0 comes with a hotend.

Features at a glance:

► Total weight of only 175 grams,

► like the Orbiter V2.0, the Smart Orbiter V3.0 has a large, RNC-coated dual drive planetary gear,

► A pure copper heating block is combined with a 72-watt ceramic heater and a CHT nozzle from Bondtech to create an optimal ratio between weight and high flow:

• A bi-metal heatbreak with an extreme temperature gradient ensures printing without blockages,
• There is a very short distance of 17.7mm between the drive gears and the hotend,
• The strain relief has low heat loss,
• Thanks to the middle and side guides, the filament has no room to escape,
• Quick change of nozzle and heating block with simple screw release.

► A unique tensioning mechanism is equipped with predefined tension levels,

► A frameless fan reduces the weight of the extruder and its dimensions,

► The new precision design of the main shaft reduces gear eccentricity,

► The Delrin planetary gearbox with aluminium housing and plastic gears is very quiet and low-friction,

► Klipper-optimised integrated electronics for filament detection as well as automatic loading and unloading of filaments including:

• Glowing GB LED at the filament input,
• Glowing white LED,
• Internal temperature sensor,
• ESD and short circuit protection,

► For easy cleaning and maintenance, the secondary drive wheel can be easily removed,

► A double filament exit guide system guarantees the best TPU printing performance.
