3D Printing 102 - Extruders

This video is part of a 3D printing series focusing on extruders. It covers the differences between Bowden and direct extruders, geared and non-geared extruders, and dual drive versus single drive extruders. The video also discusses advanced features like the Hermes extruder and the importance of E steps for precise printing. The aim is to help beginners understand the critical role of extruders in 3D printing and how different setups can affect print quality and material options.
