Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has already tested a frostruder on a makerbot? We have been using a frostruder inspired design on a Bits form Bytes Rapman for a while to print ceramics (unfoldfab.blogspot.com). I think it will be hard to do the same with a makerbot (or mendel) for the simple reason that the platform with the object moves during printing. Maybe with a slow speed but probably not very fast. Opposite to extruded molten plastic, the object needs to air dry which takes hours at least and so stays very unstable during the print. A sudden move can make your object collapse. But I am really curious if people have actually tried it? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?180,48917,48917#msg-48917 Thu, 18 Jun 2026 10:51:18 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?180,48917,48950#msg-48950 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?180,48917,48950#msg-48950 unfold Paste Extrusion Working Group Mon, 14 Jun 2010 03:49:41 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?180,48917,48948#msg-48948 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?180,48917,48948#msg-48948
Another possibility is a diodelaser-head following the paste extruder and heating the tray for curing it ... or an aerial IR-heater moving over the complete build-area after every outputted slice ...]]> VDX Paste Extrusion Working Group Mon, 14 Jun 2010 03:36:12 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?180,48917,48933#msg-48933 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?180,48917,48933#msg-48933 james glanville Paste Extrusion Working Group Sun, 13 Jun 2010 18:39:42 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?180,48917,48917#msg-48917 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?180,48917,48917#msg-48917
