3Dman Transparent dual drive Bowden extruder, 3:1 gearing

The 3DMAN extruder listing, bullet by bullet

Five bullets: a transparent design to see how it works; dual drive gears gripping the filament from each side for extrusion force, smooth feeding and snappy retractions; a 3:1 ratio with double-gear reduction for stable feeding without slipping and more torque; compatibility with Ender 3, Ender 5, CR-10, Mega S, Tornado, Wanhao D9, Anet A8 E10 and Prusa i3 3D printers; and a spring device to fine-tune gear pressure when changing materials.

Seeing through the 3DMAN body

Transparent, as the first bullet says. A clear housing shows whether the gears are biting or grinding, which is otherwise hidden inside the extruder. The product photograph shows both gears through the housing, with two hex keys beside it.

3DMAN and Iverntech side by side

Both are dual drive Bowden extruders at 3:1, and both name the CR-10, Mega S, Tevo Tornado, Wanhao D9, Anet A8 E10 and Prusa i3; 3DMAN adds Ender 5 models. Iverntech gives 385 E-steps; 3DMAN gives the transparent body and no E-steps figure.

Availability

At the last look-up, the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores were asking 16 € to 18 €.

It is sold in the British Amazon store as well, in its own currency, which the euro figures above leave out on purpose.

The American Amazon store returned no entry, so the buy button there opens a search rather than a missing page.

Every figure here is Keepa’s reading on the date this page was last updated. Stock and prices can change at any time.
