Description
The Gearbox Assembly is a critical mechanical module that houses the dual-gear drive system for the Centauri Carbon. As the printer is designed for extreme speeds (500mm/s) and abrasive materials like Carbon Fiber PLA/Nylon, this assembly is built with high-hardness internals to prevent the wear-and-tear typically seen in standard extruders.
This is a drop-in replacement part that includes internal housing, drive gears, and tensioning spring. It is engineered to maintain a massive 32mm/s flow rate, ensuring that the high-speed motion system never outruns the filament supply.
Features
Dual-Gear Direct Drive: Features a 5.2:1 reduction ratio that provides high-torque grip on the filament, minimizing slippage during high-acceleration moves.
Hardened Steel Internals: Equipped with high-precision gears made from hardened steel, specifically designed to resist the abrasive nature of composite filaments.
High-Speed Optimization: Tuned to work with the printer's 20,000mm/s acceleration, providing consistent extrusion even during rapid directional changes.
Integrated Tensioner: Includes an adjustable spring-loaded lever that allows users to calibrate the "bite" on the filament, preventing crushing of soft materials like TPU.
Precision Filament Path: Features a tightly constrained path from the gears to the hotend, which is essential for printing flexible and high-speed filaments without buckling.
