Hello! My name is Liz Havlin and I am working on a project to bring to market a couple different types of tabletop filament extruders!
I was thinking DIY kits and assembled machines.
I am aiming to build a 3D printing army to help me with the printed parts.
Does anyone want to come to South Seattle and test print filament in the next week or so and get their RepRap in our video?
Thanks in advance for all advice and input
- Liz

Moved this topic to "General" since it is not yet set up as a crowdfunding campaign, and "Bounties" was not the right place for it.
The Kickstarter draft page is pretty sparse of details. From what I can gather, your extruder is taking plastic welding rod and re-extruding it to make it suitable for use with a 3D printer. What is the advantage to doing this over simply buying 3D printer filament? Is plastic welding rod really that much cheaper (per pound) than 3D printer filament? "FiL" is quite expensive, almost as much as the Filabot and much more than the Filastruder or Lyman Extruder. Does it have any advantages (other than speed) over a pellet-based extruder?

"This is not a plywood based, garage built hobby toy."
Where do you think a majority of these printers are made? You take a shot at the majority of RepRap users and go to a RepRap forum AND the Google Group and expect nice answers.
Maybe you would be better off here - [stratasysusers.org] - where they don't use garage built hobby toys.
By the way, I need an "ink" refill for my printer.
