This week I’m making the Motomach Reprap Extruder open-source on Github. Also looking at issues arising and solutions found for the Motomach 3D Printer.

What are the benefits of the motomach?

@Ben_Koch
More consistent extrusion as I don’t mess with idler spring pressure every time I change filament, Idler bolt is quick release. This feature also improves accessability for cleaning hobbed bolt.
Improved printability as can be printed without extra support (Snap off support designed in) and areas requiring bridges designed so that they are on different layers and oriented for shortest and strongest filament runs.
Economical and Fast to print as minimal design thus requiring less filament, less print area and less time to print.
