Product Details
TriangleLab TBG-Lite Extruder for 1.75mm Filament
The TBG-Lite extruder from TriangleLab is a compact 1.75mm filament extruder designed for compatible 3D printer upgrades, repairs, and custom build projects. It can be used in Bowden or direct drive configurations and includes large precision hardened stainless steel dual drive gears for strong filament grip and consistent pushing force.
Compact Extruder for 1.75mm Filament Setups
The TBG-Lite extruder is built for users who need a lightweight, capable extruder option for compatible 3D printer motion systems. With a listed weight of 143g including the motor, it is a practical choice for builds where space, weight, and controlled filament feeding matter.
TBG-Lite Extruder Drive Design
This extruder uses large precision hardened stainless steel dual drive gears to help grip filament securely during extrusion. The listed 11.53:1 reduction ratio supports controlled filament movement, making it useful for compatible printer upgrades, replacements, and custom extrusion setups.
Bowden or Direct Drive Compatibility
The product page lists this extruder as suitable for Bowden or direct drive use. This gives builders flexibility depending on the printer design, toolhead layout, filament path, and motor setup being used.
This extruder is also listed as the default option with DNB3D’s Rat Rig V-Core 3 standard build kit, but it should not be treated as a Rat Rig-only part. It may be suitable for other compatible 1.75mm filament 3D printer projects where the mounting, motor, firmware, gearing, and filament path are properly matched.
