We are excited to finally introduce Sherpa Heavy to the mainline, the performance flagship of the Sherpa lineup. Designed for applications requiring extreme performance at high speeds, Sherpa Heavy uses a modified Sherpa Mini housing and a 7T NEMA17 motor co-developed and produced by LDO Motors. With a pushing force in excess of 160N, Sherpa Heavy eliminates the extruder as a performance bottleneck. And with a footprint only slightly longer than a Sherpa Mini and weighing in at 160g, it is still small and light enough to be used in a direct drive configuration.
Please note that Sherpa Heavy is a speciality product for high performance printers. For most users, Sherpa Mini provides more than sufficient performance and strikes a better balance between size, weight and power
A Pinion Equipped NEMA17 Stepper is required for this Release.
