Hi
Haven't posted much but have been long time lurker.
I am in the process of designing and building my own corexy printer, and by most part, I am trying to go on my own, sometimes I just need advice from someone more experienced.
My previous experience is with Prusa i3 clones using direct drive but for this large-scale Corexy I decided to go with Bowden setup, and boy, it made my grief. My main problem is with extruder grinding filament. Tried different spring tensions and 2 different extruders. Both are "printable":

Can someone recommend something really reliable? I understand there are lots of things to play within the slicer but need something mechanically strong and grippy as a base, then tune it in a slicer. I have been looking at Bontech BMG, but the price is really prohibitive, especially when I am considering using 3 or 4 extruders for multi-material.
Thank you for all advise.
