Bondtech OEM Reverse Integrated Drive Gear Assembly

Free shipping in Canada for orders over $140 before tax. (via Canada Post)

Be aware the primary drive gear is reversed :

• not compatible with the Bondtech BMG extruder

We recommend using 4x8x3.0 mm ball bearings (NOW INCLUDED).

Compatible only with :

• new HextrudORT extruder

The R.I.D.G.A. replaces the following drive train items:

• Main shaft;
• Main gear;
• Set screw;
• Primary drive gear.
• 2x 4x8x3.0 mm ball bearings

A collaboration project with an outstanding element from our community. The BMG Reverse Integrated Drive Gear was designed in collaboration with MirageC, the creator of the HextrudORT, to address the runouts of the main shaft assembly and primary drive gear held by a set screw.

As MirageC explains in his YouTube video Extrusion Quality – Mystery issue resolved ! the runout of the main double gear and wobbling of the main drive gear contribute to explain the surface irregularity seen in all 3D prints.

To lower said (in)tolerances to a minimum, we made the following improvements:

• main dual gears with tighter tolerances,
• pressed fit onto the main shaft with a new method,
• also, main shaft and main drive gear are machined in a monolithic steel set.

Result? A very meaningful step forward in quality.
