A way bigger surface area should provide more consistent control and prevent filament slip and deformation on high-flow hotends resulting in a more consistent extrusion. I will show max flow rate comparisons, a microscope shot of how filament looks when heavily forced through the hotend, and compare print quality between BMG vs HGX Lite extruders. 🖤 *Support my work at PATREON* - https://www.patreon.com/PrintingPerspective ❤️ *Support my work at YOUTUBE* - https://www.youtube.com/@PrintingPerspective/join 📋 RELATED ITEMS TO THE VIDEO (Amazon/Ali Affiliate) - HGX (Oblique gears) Extruder https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DnbAPp9 or https://hs3dprinter.com/pages/hgx - HGX Lite https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DmfIgjl - Orbiter V2 https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dn0ekuX - Digital Microscope LM407-Pro https://amzn.to/3YckE2O - JAYO Meta PLA https://amzn.to/3PxwUGQ - ANYCUBIC PLA https://amzn.to/3W3MmwE - filalab PLA https://filalab.shop/en/shop/pla/ 📷 VIDEO SHOT ON: - Fuji X-S10 https://amzn.to/3Zar9BW 📢 OTHER MENTIONED THINGS: - GJB Test Cube https://www.printables.com/model/293137-gjb-test-cube - Helix Test Cube https://www.printables.com/model/69934-helix-test-cube-filament-sample-xyz-calibration - Cali Dragon https://www.printables.com/model/209121-cali-dragon 🕗 TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - The problem 00:31 - The surface area 01:08 - Testing setup 01:46 - 8mm gears (BMG) 02:46 - 18mm gears (HGX Lite) 03:46 - 8mm vs 18mm gears print comparison 04:34 - CORRECTION: Amps/Phase is already Amps RMS value (no need to divide by 1.414) 05:35 - Angled teeth on 18mm gears 06:13 - Aluminum vs Plastic frame extruder 06:28 - Final thoughts 🔗 YOU CAN FOLLOW ME: Twitter: https://twitter.com/diyperspective Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diyperspective #3dprinting #filament #extruder
