Anyone had experience with making filaments with a extruder as this - on Alibaba
out of curious to know how is the results if you feed in standart PLA pellets
How much filament can you make out of 25kg material

looks like a noztek clone.

When running an extruder normally the first feet or so is not usable so when running that 25kg in 25 x 1kg batches you would get ~24,5kg filament. Then again maybe they did not clean the barrel and you lose the first 1 kg to cleaning the barrel.
