ULTIMAKER 2.85/3.0
The Bondtech QR Extruder for 2.85/3.0 mm filament for use as a Bowden or a direct
Extruder. The extruder uses high-quality industrial pneumatic push-fit fittings for attaching the
bowden tube. It has also thread inserts to have a strong connection of the fasteners. The
mount for the hotend is a standard "Groovemount" that makes it possible to use the E3D
hotends aswell as others following this standard.
This new revolution in design utilizes the Bondtech Dual Drive Technology with precision
CNC-manufactured parts which gives the markets best performance and reliability.
Thanks for your support making this project a reality!

  • Page 4 Mechanical & Electrical Installation This guide shows the installation on a Ultimaker 2 Extended. 1. Start by removing the material from your printer with selecting “Material”, “Change”, after the filament is removed, power off the printer. 2. Rotate the printer so you can access the side and the rear side. Loosen M3-screws for the inside cable cover and remove the cable cover.
  • Page 5 Loosen 2 x M3-screws that holds the cover for the controller board. Use a spanner to hold the nut from the underside of the printer. This reveals the controller board. Ultimaker Installation manual QR V2.3 2019-02-18...
  • Page 6 Open the ferrite core and place it aside. Disconnect the old extruder cable on the controller. Route the new cable from the hole on the back plate through the printer and down to the controller, connect the cable in the EXT1 port (for single extruder) Place the stepper cables inside the ferrite core and close it.
  • Page 7 Place the the damping plate and the bottom part of the holder against the rear back plate and insert the M3x20 mm bolts through the mount and into the chassis Dampening plate Bottom mount M3x20 screw Use a washer and a M3 nut on the inside to secure the mounting screws.
  • Page 8 Place the Bondtech Extruder in the holder, use the top-clamp and the 2 M5 screws to secure the extruder, please take not of the orienting tab of the top clam, it shall fit inside the cutout on the gearbox. Use the black foam insulator...
  • Page 9 Remount the cable cover from the inside and secure it with the two m3 screws. Make sure that no cable is pinched between the cover and the plates. Re-attach the spool holder. Ultimaker Installation manual QR V2.3 2019-02-18...
  • Page 10 The reason for this is that the Bondtech QR uses a planetary gearbox with 5.18:1 gearing ratio making the motor turn faster than standard, this gives the advantage that the extrusion will have higher resolution and the extruder gets much stronger in order to push the material with higher force.
  • Page 11 1000 mA, the pushing force of the extruder is more than enough also on this setting. Good luck with your Bondtech Extruder! If you have any questions, please contact us by email or telephone.
