Are you in Australia and looking to buy a Bondtech IFS Internal Filament Sensor Extruder for your Prusa Mini? Great news! The new version WITH IDGA is shipping now! It features a new white plastic main gear and an integrated drive gear for lower run - out. This extruder is an upgrade from our previous high - resolution one for the Prusa Mini. The new filament sensor for Prusa Mini/+ can be mounted inside the extruder housing, but the IFS Extruder can also be used without it. You can easily update it later to fit the Prusa Filament Sensor. Upgrade your Prusa Mini or Mini+ with this Bondtech Dual Drive extruder that fits the original setup perfectly. It's compatible with the filament sensor, allowing you to use it with or without it. The hardened drive gears let you work with abrasive materials that would wear out your original feeder's gears. You can adjust the tension using the thumbscrew tensioner according to your preferences and the material type. The Quick - Release lever makes material changes a breeze. With hardened steel Dual Drive gears, you have more choices of materials. This kit includes a Bondtech IFS extruder for Prusa Mini, an IFS Magnet Holder, an IFS Lever, an IFS Extruder Plug, zip - ties, screws, a brass motor gear, and a thumb screw assembly. The Prusa Filament Sensor, Filament Sensor Magnets, and Filament Sensor Steel Sphere are not included. The original design was proposed by Olof Ogland, and the new IFS version was developed by Vecko Kojchevski based on the BMG and adjusted to the Prusa Mini design.

Using the Bondtech IFS Extruder for your Prusa Mini is easy. First, install the extruder into your Prusa Mini following the included parts and basic installation guides. If you want to use the filament sensor, mount it inside the extruder housing. When changing materials, just activate the Quick - Release lever to release the tension, pull out the old material, and then insert the new one while keeping the lever activated. To adjust the pressure on the filament, use the thumbscrew tensioner according to the type of material you're using. For maintenance, regularly check the hardened drive gears for any signs of wear, especially when using abrasive materials. Keep the extruder clean from dust and debris. Also, make sure the connection parts are tight and secure. Don't forget that the Prusa Filament Sensor, Filament Sensor Magnets, and Filament Sensor Steel Sphere are not included in the kit, so you'll need to get them separately if you want to use the full sensor functionality.
