I’m currently using an Orbiter 1.5 and it’s pretty decent but I’m looking for an upgrade. I like the light style extruder sitting on the gantry over a Bowden system as it allows for flexible filament and has much better control over retraction.

Is the 2.0 a significant improvement over the 1.5? Should I get a new hotend as well with it?

Right now I’m using a MicroSwiss all metal hotend and am quite satisfied with it.

Print speed is okay I guess.

    Don’t know which printer you have but if your main interest is a direct drive setup over Bowden, chances are that you can setup your orbiter 1.5 as direct drive by printing some adapter.

      The orbiter 1.5 is already a DD design

        Oh, then I guess I didn’t understand OP correctly as I understood he has a Bowden setup with his orbiter. Thanks
