Zesty nimble vs flex3drive. Keeps jamming / underextruding. You would need to highlight the advantages of your system versus theirs. Also: a first look at their watercooled v6 heatsink! Thanks to Prusa for sponsoring my trip to MRRF!. So is a remote, flex mount extruder like the Zesty Nimble the best of both worlds, or simply a compromise? The flex3drive has a much higher gear ratio at 40:1 that affects top end print speed (significantly) and extruder acceleration configuration. Compare direct drive and bowden tube systems, and evaluate whether this remote, flex mount extruder offers the best of both worlds or represents a compromise. Flex drive is better from all reports I've read. Has anyone tried the Zesty Nimble? What do you guys think of it? I noticed they have them for sale now, despite their failed Kickstarter. Fan of the idea, not the implementation. The nimble has a 30:1 ratio (validated with Zesty). It can't grip filament well. Let's talk to Zesty Technology about their Nimble extruder! Video sponsored by Squarespace - http://squarespace. If you are really thinking about it, you might want to do it soon before Zesty Nimble soaks up a lot of the market. The nimble was always a copycat wannabe trying to leverage flex3drives design. Short and simply the flex3drive is better engineered, cheaper, and gives much better results. Examine the product's features, manufacturing quality, and documentation while assessing its lightweight design. I wouldn't pay more for an inferior product (aka Zesty Nimble). I'm considering getting one to improve the Bowden setup I have on my Cartesian printer. It's that or a Titan/pancake setup, but the Titan will be much heavier since it has the stepper motor on the moving head.

Any advice? I think a Kickstarter campaign would help with marketing, but seems difficult with competition from Zesty Nimble. The quoted weight of the zesty is mere marketing hype, as it doesnt include weight of hotend, clamps, fixtures, carriage or effector. Bit late to the party here. As mentioned, if you take the Flex3Drive G4 main body alone, that comes in at below 30 grammes, but with the increased precision and reduced driveshaft loading. The difference in recognition is due to marketing. Direct drive is precise but heavy, and bowden tube is the opposite. My flex3drive sucks. I'm ready to chuck it in the bin tbh. Motor only weighs 40 grams, so a flex cable isn't necessary. Not to mention that the nimble is a rip off of the flex3drive by a company that happens to be better at marketing. Zesty nimble has done better marketing. I'm using a Nema 8 directly attached to my Nimble on the Ender-3, so no flex shaft. Explore the advantages of reducing print carriage mass by 161 grams and compare the performance of this hybrid system, which combines the lightweight properties of a Bowden tube with the Apr 3, 2019 · The Nimble from Zesty Technologies merges the benefits of a direct and bowden extruder. The Flex3drive has been out significantly longer, Mutley3D has a good background for researching his products and has been in the game a bit longer.
