Hi All,
I am new to the site, but not the world of 3D printing. Several other engineers and myself are looking to design and build our own filament extruder. The goal being to improve on those already on the market. I am looking for any feedback from printer owners who would possibly be interested in a device like this, or just if any one has general thoughts or ideas. Any feedback is helpful! What would you be willing to pay for a device like this?
Purposed device functionality:
- Extrude with variety or materials + colors
- Extruded cross section variable but consistent and repeatable
- Shredding attachment to re-use support material and old parts
- Timing system for extrusion to mimic printer feed (only extrude filament when needed for printing)
- no need to store spools of filament
Thanks,
Nick
