Original LDO Orbiter 2.0 extruder, with serial number. LDO Motors and Bondtech machined gears, you can see the good workmanship. Very light. The body of the extruder is made of injection molded plastic parts made of glass fiber reinforced nylon, instead of molded as in other extruders, which should give it more rigidity and durability. The finishes are very good, nothing to envy to other more expensive extruders, such as Bondtech's BMG, whose price is currently 50% more expensive than this Orbiter, including the stepper. (the BMG is supplied "peeled," it doesn't have a motor, you have to buy it separately). I think it's a great option, a shame that the project went from being totally open source as it was in the beginning and the creator decided to monetize it 100%, but hey, if the price is kept above $55~69 it's still worth it. If you can't find it above this price range, as consumers we should look for other alternatives, we can't always pay ask because today it will cost 70€ and tomorrow 80€ and everyone will go out of the ring. In short, an excellent extruder, more than approved by the community, original and with engine included (and not just any engine, except LDO, the same brand that is mounted on Prusa printers) and gears with Bondtech quality machining. You can't ask for more. If you find it for around £60, it's a safe buy.

Estrusore originale LDO Orbiter 2.0, con numero di serie. Motore LDO Motors e ingranaggi lavorati Bondtech, si può vedere la buona lavorazione. Molto leggero. Il corpo dell'estrusore è costituito da parti in plastica stampate a iniezione in nylon rinforzato con fibra di vetro, anziché stampate come in altri estrusori, il che dovrebbe conferirgli maggiore rigidità e durata. Le finiture sono molto buone, niente da invidiare ad altri estrusori più costosi, come ad esempio il BMG di Bondtech, il cui prezzo è attualmente del 50% più caro di questo Orbiter, compreso lo stepper (il BMG viene fornito «pelato», non ha un motore, devi acquistarlo separatamente). Penso che sia un'ottima opzione, un peccato che il progetto sia passato dall'essere totalmente Open Source com'era all'inizio e che il creatore abbia deciso di monetizzarlo al 100%, ma ehi, se il prezzo è mantenuto sopra i 55~69 € ne vale comunque la pena. Se non riesci a trovarlo al di sopra di questa fascia di prezzo, come consumatori dovremmo cercare altre alternative, non sempre possiamo pagare chiedi perché oggi costerà 70€ e domani 80€ e tutti andranno dal ring. Insomma, un ottimo estrusore, più che approvato dalla community, originale e con motore incluso (e non un motore qualsiasi, se non LDO, lo stesso marchio che viene montato sulle stampanti Prusa) e ingranaggi con lavorazioni di qualità Bondtech. Non puoi chiedere di più. Se lo trovi per circa 60€, è un acquisto sicuro.
