Not the 9'oclock news but I thought I drop a line and said I extruded this weekend!

Once I made the filament <=3 mm all went smoothly. I'm using something I think is CAPA.

It's called "repair plastics" and I bought it at a local hardware chain.

I made an approx 3mm guide hole that I test all rod before it goes into the extruder.

It was quite fun to roll the plastic rods and I also managed to "glue" them together into a longer rod by dipping both ends into hot water and then rolling them together each end sticking out.

Going to mount everything on my MDF repstrap rig soon and try to print something!

Yep, that's CAPA. Keep us posted on your progress.
