So while I really like the NSTT Extruder, it’s got a couple of bits that I’m not happy with, mainly a reverse bowden and not having a cover. About 12 hours later in FreeCAD, I’ve got this: The Drakon Extruder. With Heavy influences from both the E3D Titan and the NSTT, 3:1 gearing on 1.75mm for precision, but can be easily modified for 3mm with a couple of tweaks. Not tested as yet, but I’ll be doing that as soon as I have the bearings in.

If you want to test it, all files can be found at https://github.com/AxMod3DPrint/Drakon-Extruder
