👉🏻 In this video I am testing 8mm diameter filament gripping gears versus 18mm ones. A way bigger surface area should provide more consistent control and prevent filament slip and deformation on high-flow hotends resulting in a more consistent extrusion. I will show max flow rate comparisons, a microscope shot of how filament looks when heavily forced through the hotend, and compare print quality between BMG vs HGX Lite extruders.
