The hardened steel extruder gear assembly is an internal component of the hardened steel extruder unit. It comprises a driven gear and an active gear that work together to feed filament into the hotend.
Built with heavy-duty materials, the hardened steel extruder gear has a better capability of printing with tough engineering filaments like PAHT-CF and PET-CF for long-lasting performance. If abrasion or clogging occurs due to extended use, users can just replace the extruder gear assembly rather than the whole extruder unit.
The P1 Series Extruder Unit comes with stainless steel extruder gear. Users can upgrade it to hardened steel extruder gear for better abrasion resistance to engineering filaments.
