Goliat Extruder coming to Indiegogo next week

[Eddie]

For those of you that like high quality affordable extruders, the Goliat extruder from Tytan 3D may be the answer. While they have been selling their extruders for a couple month already, next week they plan to launch an Indiegogo campaign for the Goliat extruder. A fully aluminum extruder that will cost just $49. More details on this extruder at http://3dprint.com/10286/tytan-3d-goliat-extruder/

That's definitely interesting. I don't understand how they're mounting a metal gearbox motor to the extruder on the NEMA 17's 31mm mount pattern for use with 3mm filament. I'd think it needs an adapter plate, but they don't seem to mention that or show the plate on their site.

I'm so done with plastic extruders. As useful as they are, as easy as it is to make one to replace anything that breaks, I really need the durability of an all metal one, especially when it has been machined for precision work. So, where do I go get one? I don't see the Kickstarter.

But the big question is, would it work with any printer??

im getting the New craftbot printer from indiegogo in september, but i dont know if it Will allow an extruder from another manufacturer? Cheers
