I'm working on the machine almost 6 moths.
I just finish the XYZ axis part of the machine.

Honestly I have no budget on this project, almost all the hardware and electronics on this project is from scratch
I mean that all the components on this are home made and i just made it on our home some on it in the school

By the way I'm a computer instructor here in the Philippines.

I will send you some picture of my project soon.

Thank you very much.

Before you can extrude small granules of recycled plastic you first need a way of shredding the garbage. For a head start on this problem I suggest you take a look here, here and here.

Best of luck!]]> Capo General Tue, 20 Jul 2010 08:40:16 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,52258,52261#msg-52261 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,52258,52261#msg-52261 capolight.wordpress.com]

By far the most detailed documentation of the development of a filament extruder.]]> tesla893 General Mon, 19 Jul 2010 23:11:00 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,52258,52258#msg-52258 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,52258,52258#msg-52258
