Today I printed the new toolhead, checked all tolerances, reprinted it, and repeated the process three times until all imperfections were gone! I’m pretty happy with the outcome. The extruder is thinner than most hotends, lightweight, and with the new gears, it should be stronger than the old BMG version. But that still needs to be proven! The final weight will be around 35g (the thumbscrew weighs 5.5g, and the steel pin for the idler arms is 1cm too long).

Here is an examples of a Mosquito Magnum based build:

 

And this one is based on my Rapido UHF+

 

 Over 100mm3 of flow for less than 100g of weight :-)

It should at least provide more thrust... But the front bearing of the idler arm looks a little fragile, I'm curious to see whether the arm moves up and down during operation... The weight is impressive despite the larger drive wheels...

Nice work 👍🏻, I really like your approach of combining functional and elegant design. I can't wait for your vision 🚀

I’m pretty sure the idler arm and top cover will go through several more revisions. However, there’s plenty of room to reinforce those areas, so optimizing them shouldn’t be too difficult.
