Lost: Extruder for McWire RepStrap I turn my back for a moment (well, a couple months, in fact), and everything on the wiki moves around. I'm getting further along with my McWire RepStrap (Z stage almost ready), but when I went looking for an extruder, the normal McWire page that gave suggestions for every part is gone. Has it moved somewhere where I can't find it? What is the most common/simple/well-tested extruder for McWire? Until that comees through, I'll just have to Dremel things into little pieces:) Thanks in advance, -Lars https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,43570,43570#msg-43570 Tue, 16 Jun 2026 07:41:15 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,43570,44127#msg-44127 Re: Lost: Extruder for McWire RepStrap https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,43570,44127#msg-44127

Added. Thanks.

Normally people can log in and edit the page, adding [[Category:Extruders]] to the bottom, which will add the page to that Category.

In this case, Adrian's locked down some pages pretty hard, and I still need to unlock them.]]> SebastienBailard General Mon, 26 Apr 2010 13:44:43 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,43570,43738#msg-43738 Re: Lost: Extruder for McWire RepStrap https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,43570,43738#msg-43738 the Mk II Extruder, but I would recommend making something from here Category:Extruders or the Thermoplast Extruder 2.0. I made the 2.0 out of a block of oak (mdf didn't work very well) and used it to extruder all the Mendel parts with my McWire.

Sebastien, is there a reason that ThermoplastExtruder_2_0 and Mendel_extruder are not on the Category:Extruders page?

It looked like this, but now it has been scavenged for the Mendel.


I would suggest a belt drive on the McWire, or at least larger leadscrews, 1/4-20 is far too slow and has a max movement speed of ~6mm/s.
