Mr Prin T
Rated with 4 out of 5 stars.
O.k so my new bq HeatCore DDG Extrusion Kit arrived this morning after a couple of months waiting. Once it was in stock it was promptly sent out, I am now as of writing this review mid print on my BQ hephestos i3 2016 with the new set. I am running on BQ's firmware 2.5.1 with heatbed.
If you have this model i can confirm it is plug and play. So far i have only used PLA and flexible filament in this config.
For what it is, this is an expensive side-grade i have 4 other printers and this by far is the most expensive and least practical.
If you want a safe side-grade for your BQ machine and its in the official list im sure you will be happy with its performance, as i am.
The filament tensioner on the other hand requires some attention from BQ, they have put it so on stock setups it is blanked off, so you cannot access it.unless you Take the extruder off to access the back, they need a hole in the mounting bracket and the carriage so it is accessible from the back of the machine thus also gaining 5 Stars and not 4 and alot of praise from future investors of there products.
If you need a direct replacement because you don't wish to build from the 100's of easy configurations out there then this will suffice no doubt.
If on the other hand your comfortable building your own setup, do so there is nothing new here and then there's the comparative price/ premium for buying a pre assembled direct drive system.
Next time this machine needs a new setup i will be building it myself.
Nice setup, bad utilization of the tensioner i am very supersized at this oversight, they could have sold this without the motor + fans also.Was this rating helpful? (3) (0)
