TBG Lite extruder is a total game changer on a Bowden Ender printer (feddit.de)

Triple the print speed with much better performance. Flexible filaments (I tried a super-soft Shore A88 filament) are no issue at all.

I adapted a mount I found online, I'll put my modification up somewhere if anyone is interested.

Never going back to Bowden.

All other similar extruders (super light Nema14 motor, dual large gears) should perform similar.

That is a fair argument. I just read that the large gears are mainly a benefit for flexible filaments. I only ever printed flexibles on the stock extruder of my old Tronxy X8 and on the Ender 5 with the TBG Lite. The TBG Lite is much better, but that was expected. I can't say whether it performs better than an Orbiter v2. I just can say that the TBG Lite performs flawlessly with shore A85 filament. I don't even have to reduce the print speed from what I use for PLA/PETG.
