The pressure from the extruding process removes the air bubbles. A cross section of plastic was sliced and we did not find any air bubbles.by Filabot - General

There are some parts that need to be finished on the Filabot before the filament is ready to use on a our 3D printer. Right now we are working on the the system that makes the filament the right size, and we are waiting on a nozzle for extruding the right diameter.by Filabot - General
Filabot: Plastic Filament Maker - 14 years ago
I would like to share a project that I am currently working on, it is called Filabot. Filabot is a personal extruding system that will allow users to make their own 3D printing filament from recycled plastic. Right now we are raising funds on kickstarter, with 9 days left in the funding period. There is a bunch more information on the kickstarter page, please check it out.
