Mini orbiter review9/12/2023 Orbiter with it's planetary gearbox is setup for a 7.5 reduction. On a 10 gear motor a reduction of 5 (it uses the default 50 tooth BMG wheel). The Sherpa Mini with an 8 gear motor has a 6.25 reduction. What matters for grip is how well the pressure mechanism works that pushes the geared wheels together, it's entirely independent from the gearbox used. What matters for power and speed is the gearbox ratio you may use produces, a gearbox ratio can be achieved with any kind of gearbox. Orbiter loses in every respect there because of its use of the planetary gearbox. The planetary gearbox plus and downside has nothing to do with power, speed or grip.īoth extruders have a gearbox, what kind it is doesn't matter for power, speed, grip or anything like that, the gearbox types only values are how light it allows you to be with a given gear ratio and how low wear and easy maintenance are. Not per se in the eventual result (although those are still heavily debated), but in why each has their strength and weakness. However, the Sherpa mini can move faster because of its lower weight. So I know that, because of its planetary gear, the orbiter can grip filament better and extrude it faster.
