The LDO Orbiter 2 high precision direct drive extruder designed by Dr. Lorincz Rober in cooperation with LDO. The new Orbiter v2.5 is based on the well-known Orbiter v2.0 with a few improvements that extend its extrusion performance even further. Details available here.

Features:

Shorter drive gears 11mm vs 15 mm
Hardened filament drive gears
Weight reduced to 135 grams
Smaller, more compact dimensions (11.6% shorter)
New motor design offers 40% increase in pushing force in real printing conditions and much improvedin acceleration performance
Flipped drive gears - filament path closer to the extruder center for a more balanced design and perfect fit on delta printers as well
Stainless steel filament exit guide with 0.2-0.3mm clearance to drive gears for best TPU printing experience and extreme wear resistance when using abrasive filaments
High temperature resistant injected housings, GPA12
Machined PEEK secondary drive gear sleeve
Tension mechanism with grab screw design (Captive Grab Screw)
Mounting screws in line with filament exit path - improving housing stiffness and easier mounting
Perfectly aligned filament path
New, smaller and better PTFE input coupler
Motor position rotated by additional 10 degrees for easier maintenance and assembly
Filament sensor add on available for auto load and unload button add on feature
Housing/latch manfucatured by injection molding on standard version, MJF on mirrored version.
And many more small changes to improve mechanical accuracy and design look

Smaller Dimensions/More Compact

Reduced the overall size

Filament Path and Mounting Feature

Filament path closer to the center to facilitate mounting on delta printers and better mounting
Inline mounting screws with the filament exit paths
Better housing stiffness and eliminate flexing during high force pushing
Improved filament path

Extrusion Performance

Optimized the motor design to maximize its torque in the speed range the extruder needs
The result is 40% increase of the pushing force in real printing contitions
Retraction speed up to 120mm/s
Acceleration up to 3000mm/s²

Stainless Steel Filament Exit Guide

Improves the extruder lifetime when used with abrasive filaments
Gap between the filament guide and filament pushing gears is about 0.2-0.3mm
Maximum TPU printing speed - the filament can go only into the hotend, no space to be tangled around the gears

Tensioner Design

POM washer and stainless steel spring are retained on the screw when the tensioner is removed
Reduces the possibility to lose the washer and spring

Maintenance

Motor position rotated by additional 10 degrees for easier maintenance and assembly

Filament Sensor

New filament sensor design with filament auto load and unload button
Filament entry lit by colored LED
