ZOrbiter v1.5 Extruder for Zaribo and Prusa MK3(S+) Series

Z’Orbiter extruder derived from Prusa R6 extruder and fully compatible with Zaribo, Original Prusa and Bear Mods. It weighs 380~ grams which may give you room for more speed. And also, it does not compromise power with its 9.4kg filament pushing force while being ultra silent. Below you can find the links to a full kit, plastic parts only and motor only.

You can also connect to your printer with Pronterface through USB and send a couple of gcodes as we did with Zaribo Geared Motor. But this time I preferred to offer preconfigured firmware which will be easier for many others who are not into gcodes.

Please note, current extruder carriage design is compatible with 8mm rods Zaribo Printers (Prusa R6) and default Original Prusa Printers. Zaribo 10mm rods version and Mosquito Hotend versions are on the way. It has not been tested on the MK2.5 series, feel free to test and report back to support@zaribo.com

Happy printing…
