With an installed weight of less than 27 grams on your carriage/effector the Zesty Nimble is smallest and lightest extruder you can buy, it has ample torque and is installable in multiple orientations. It simply is the best extruder for your 3D printer.

Our unique design allows for super easy and fast filament changes, while still fully enclosing the filament path, it allows you to print with filaments from flexibles, like Ninjaflex, through PLA/ABS through to exotics.

Changing filament

The unique breech system of the Nimble means it has never been so easy to load filament.

Simply open the breech for a clear view of the filament path, slide the filament into the top of your hot end and close the breech.

You are now ready to print.

Installation flexibility

The Nimble can fit on almost any 3D Printer, it is the most flexible direct drive extruder. To achieve this we designed the Nimble to be ambidextrous. It can be mounted as left handed or right handed, simply by flipping it over.

This makes the most of your available space and enables mounting of 2 Nimbles with filament paths as little as 12.5 mm apart.

Integral to the flexibility of the Nimble is the adapter system that allows the Nimble to mount securely on any hot-end and carriage/effector combination.

The Nimble is flexible. This flexibility saves you money.

We have created mounts for the most common setups; a groove mount which ships standard with the single Nimble, a flat plate, an adapter for the Prusa i3.

Adapter options are growing every day as we work together with our customers.

They range from very simple to extremely complex effector designs that allows for magnetic joints, piezo-electric calibration sensing and LED lighting all in a single unit for the Kossel delta. There is even a simple adapter to use Nimbles on the Big Box IDEX modification.
