By the way, why didn't anyone say anything about the panel with the screen?
Will I be able to connect my old (Anycubic) screen?No.
Use a nearby computer and the web interface. Or, if you really want something on the printer, an old phone or tablet, and the web interface.
Or... if you are in the mood to spend about 1/2 to 2/3 what the whole printer (now) costs on a screen, a PanelDue.

@danal Hi, Danal
Thanks again for your great tips, but could you explain something to me about extruders?
I just do not understand why they are sold without a motor.
Will I be able to use my old one, or is it better to buy with a new one (and which one will be better?)?
Thank you. -
even if im not Danal...
You dont need a new extruder motor..my old anycubic motor still works great even with a bondtech extruder now
-
Thanks for the excellent answer, Barracuda72!
Do you have right-handed or left-handed?
What is the difference? -
doesnt matter if you only use one
I have a flying extruder setup here and took a right handed..
all depends on the setup..or on a multimaterial printer if you want a mirrored extruder setup.The extruders are sold without motor, because you have to decide what you need.
More torque or is a pancake motor sufficient?I got my Anycubic Delta for Christmas last year. Honestly, there's nothing left of the Anycubic except for a few screws.
Meanwhile the frame is 1m high and has a print bed of 300mm.
Flying Extruder with Bondtech, DuetWifi Board, Smart effector, DIY Magnetic Rods.I love working on it.

Um, now I do not understand anything about "Bondtech BGM" (just received) ...
Earlier I just loaded the filament into the tube and started the print program.
Now with the new extruder I need:- heat the hot end
- run the script to load the filament
- heat the hot bed
- Start the print program ...
Could you please explain why everything is so complicated ???
-
@vapvap you do not need to use scripts to load the filament and its fine to have the code that heats your extruder and heated bed in your start gcode (as I assume you did before if this happened automatically)?
Load and unload filament scripts are useful for some people who have bowden setups and want to be able to have a macro that acts differently depending on the type of filament (for example maybe you want to go nice and slow with semi flexibles..) this is definitely an optional part though.
-
Yes, i have "bowden",
but I'm sorry that at the moment I absolutely don't understand how to easily load a filament before printing.
How can I do it correctly / conveniently?
Regards. -
@vapvap You mentioned "load the filament into the tube and start the print program" so I assumed that on your current machine you manually load the filament though the extruder and advanced it until it was coming out the nozzle. then start the print?
Basically there are two separate processes going on.
-
Setting up the printer so the filament is in the hotend, and ready to print
-
starting a print
sorting out 1) involves getting the filament through the extruder, down the bowden tube and into the (hot) hotend. You can do that by manually setting the hotend to the appropriate temperature, loading the filament into the extruder, and then using the printer controls to push the filament down the bowden tube. until it comes out the nozzle. Or you could to that through some automatic "load filament" mechanism. In our case we have the ability to automate that through a load filament macro.
