What is the function of an extruder in a 3D printer?

• It cools down the printed layers.

• It is a motor with gears that pushes filament towards the printer's hot end.

• It provides structural support to the printer.

• It processes the 3D model into instructions for the printer.

What is a Direct Extruder?

• An extruder that is mounted away from the hot end.

• An extruder that sits directly above the hot end.

• An extruder that uses a tube to bridge the gap between it and the hot end.

• An extruder that is part of the printer's base.
