Special Features

The DDG V2 comes with special features of its own:

• Space for housing the UM filament sensor inside;
• Symetrical design to be reversible (standard can be re-assembled as mirrored and vice-versa);
• Filament tension set with a 2mm hex key;
• Pre-tension scale;

Hardened Steel Drive Gears

Like all other Bondtech Extruders, the DDG V2 features Nickel Coated hardened Steel Drive Gears to feed standard and abrasive materials with confidence and without wear.

Recycling the stepper motors

The original stepper motor of the printer will be reused and the extruder will be mounted at the same position and in the same mounting holes as the factory extruder making the installation easy and take less than 10 minutes.
