How is it made? Zach, How do you make the plastic part of the barrel that the metal tip screws into? Do you mold it, or do you mill it? What type of material is it? Please let me know.

it would work if it was just you making 1 part, but what we need to consider is that eventually hundreds (or thousands) of these parts will need to be made. thats a whole new design challenge.]]> ZachHoeken Plastic Extruder Working Group Tue, 15 Jan 2008 17:32:20 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?70,8441,8450#msg-8450 Re: How is it made? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?70,8441,8450#msg-8450
