Orbiter - Super light weight direct drive extruder on Seckit SK-GO

My Seckit SK-GO has a worn out Flex3drive extruder, so why not replace it with another light weight design: The Orbiter. Open source and featuring a tiny stepper motor, planetary gears and Bondtech style dual drive. Parts can be sourced and printed DIY, or ordered as a complete kit from Aliexpress.

My verdict, a fantastically designed product apart from the filament exit path, which will be fixed in V2. This product was purchased with my own money, all opinions expressed are my own. Thanks to my patrons for requesting this video and for their generous support.
