Direct Extrusion Direct extrusion is a filament-feeding mechanism where the extruder motor is mounted directly on the print head, pushing the filament directly into the hot end. This design offers better control over extrusion and retraction, making it ideal for printing flexible or soft filaments like TPU or TPE. Compared to Bowden extrusion systems, direct extrusion systems are more precise and less prone to filament skipping. However, the added weight of the extruder on the print head may limit print speed and introduce slight vibrations on fast-moving axes. Direct extrusion is widely favored by hobbyists and professionals who prioritize versatility and print quality over speed.
