3D printer home-made extruder

There are two type of extruder:
- Direct drive
- Reduction gear

With a direct drive, the electronic isn't able to provide the current. And with a reduction gear system, the backlash generates lots of printing issues.

I have decided to develop a third type, a pulley-belt one with a E3D v6 hotend and a MK8 drive gear.
