Hey everyone,

Perhaps I’m just needing a nudge to get out of decision paralysis. I had a toolhead breakdown due to a hardware failure and decided to rebuild as a A4T V2 because why not? I wanted to upgrade from the old Afterburner anyway at some time so now might be perfect!

But now I have to choose … Orbiter 2.5 and Sherpa Mini are the options supported from the get-go. But for either I found “for sure that one!” voices.

For the hotend l go with the rapido X.

Or do I even go with a different toolhead all together?

I can’t simply print a stealthburner anyway because the backup printer I have available only has a print area of 115x115 so I couldn’t make the front plate fit anyway. And I really don’t feel like printing a new.

Any voice of reason, experience or opinion is very welcome - I literally just need to stop staring at websites and … Decide.

    Whoaa, I didn’t know there was a version 2 of the A4T!! Does this one not support the G2WW extruder? The first version does, and I’ve been greatly enjoying that. If it does, that’s what I’d go with.

      Thanks!

      The V2 only supports those two as of now sadly. But perhaps waiting a bit till others are supported would be yet another option :D

      Or going with V1? But … V2 is new, shiny and experimental!

        The v1 is so freaking good that I have full faith v2 is worth going for. Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with either of the extruders it supports, but if I were picking one I’d go Orbiter.
