However, my stepper just didn&#8217;t quite have enough torque to push the filament directly, and it would &#8220;skip&#8221; steps relatively continuously. I could still print large objects, but they would have a &#8220;foamy&#8221; appearance due to using less plastic than they really should. Also, my stepper motor and drivers were getting hot due to all the extra current flowing through them.<\/p>\n<p>I finally decided it just wasn&#8217;t going to work well enough for production use, and printed an extruder (Gregs Accessible Wade extruder) that has a printed gear system for a large mechanical advantage. I adapted it to feed into my Bowden tube and mount onto the top of my Rostock-mini frame with two printed parts.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_1250.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_1250-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1250\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_1250-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_1250-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_1250.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It made all the difference in the world.
