Mockup of the Zesty Nimble V1: Lightweight direct drive extruder by ZestyTech

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

The New Nimble V2 family is here. Nimble Version 2 family
The Nimble V1 is no longer sold.
The Nimble Mock-up file is a blocky version of the Nimble. The positioning of the screws is correct as is the filament and the Drive cable position. This will be the final shape. Overall it is the smallest it has ever been and I think we have reached the minimal practical shape. It is the Right hand shape. Of course in real life the Nimble is ambidextrous, it can be made to me a right handed or a left handed version. But these mock-up files do not allow for that, so we have added a left handed version as well.
The Nimble Extruder
With an installed weight of less than 27 grams on your carriage/effector the Zesty Nimble is smallest and lighest extruder you can buy, it has ample torque and is installable in multiple orientations.
The Nimble is available at: https://zesty.tech
You can eliminate the bowden cable and print any material available. It is so small, 2 easily fit on top of a Chimera or Cyclops.
We have all sorts of adapters available for different hot ends and printers. If the right adapter is not there for you, we will design a new one for you.
The Nimble adapter is the basic adapter we use to adapt to the various hot ends. We are adding a lot more adapters. Be aware that the Nimble is still being updated and the adapter can still change.
The Mount block for the Nimble is the idealised shape to lock the Nimble in place around the filament. This is the perfect shape but if it is too complex, it can be simplified. Of course the large round base is just an example of how it can be used.
