Are you in Australia and looking to buy a high - end extruder? The Phaetus APUS Extruder is an all - new, powerful, lightweight, and versatile extrusion system. It offers multiple mounting options and supports a wide range of hotends on the market. Its all - metal construction enhances rigidity and improves heat dissipation for the extruder motor. This extruder is perfect for industrial filaments. The filament size is 1.75mm, product size is 67*64*42 mm, net weight is 155g, and it has a blue appearance. It's compatible with all thermoplastic filaments like PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, PP, PC, PA, PEEK, PEI, as well as typical composite fibre filaments such as PLA - CF, ABS - CF, PETG - CF, PA - CF/GF. It can also process composite filaments of steel, wood, boron carbide, tungsten, and fluorescence materials. The 3 - Screws - System allows for easy maintenance by just removing three screws. It has a quick - swap system, with the standard hotend attachment compatible with Phaetus and DropEffect hotends, and can be redesigned and 3D printed to fit other market hotends. It features a small Nema 14 stepper motor with a rated current of 1.0 A, holding torque of 0.12 Nm, temperature rise less than 55℃, max operating temperature of 130℃, and weighs 85g. The 155g lightweight all - metal design ensures stepper motor heat dissipation. The optimized RNC Dual Drive Gears have high hardness and a polished surface for stable extrusion. It has a 6.3 : 1 gear ratio for high torque, a manual wheel for easy filament loading and unloading. The aluminum frame provides high rigidity, the aluminium gear ensures efficient torque transfer, the hardened steel dual - drive gear offers excellent grip and wear resistance, the aluminium idler arm ensures good gear contact, and the aluminium filament guide has high wear resistance. Accessories include motor extension cables, hex keys, and various screws.
Using the Phaetus APUS Extruder is quite straightforward. First, choose the right filament size, which is 1.75mm for this extruder. Use the manual wheel to easily load or unload the filament. When it comes to the hotend, the standard attachment is compatible with Phaetus and DropEffect hotends. If you want to use other hotends on the market, you can redesign and 3D print the hotend attachment. During operation, keep an eye on the stepper motor's temperature. It has a max operating temperature of 130℃ and a temperature rise of less than 55℃. Maintenance is easy thanks to the 3 - Screws - System. Just remove three screws when you need to do some upkeep. Store the extruder in a dry place to prevent rusting of the metal parts. Also, make sure to clean the gears regularly to keep the extrusion smooth. The accessories like the motor extension cables, hex keys, and screws should be kept in a safe place and used when necessary.
