Anyone have a BFB-3000 around? I’m wrestling with one here at NextFab Studio. It has an old funk screw extruder, and I just can’t trust it. It hasn’t finished a print in months. I’m going to need a new extruder, but the hot end is ok. That will probably need a new controller, so all I have is a heavy cartesian bot. Anyone have BFB experience?

Yeah, those BFB-3000 extruders are funky. A solid cartesian bot is a great start for a printer :slight_smile:

@Shachar_Weis What was your experience?

I can’t say much. I know someone that has a broken BFB with two dead extruders. The frame looks nice and solid. I think with a new extruder you can have a nice printer.

@Gregor_Luetolf has one afaik

We sold our BfB Touch months ago and switched to @Ultimaker
