Vertical Filament Extruder - 15 years ago
I have been looking into making a recycling system for abs parts after been made by a FDM machine, and have come to the conclusion that the size of a normal horizontal screw extruder would take up to much floor space for the average workshop so have decided to try and design a vertical extruder. does anyone know of any information on vertical filament extruders as i am unable to find anything????by wade.wpg - General

recycling ABS after being used by a FDM machine - 15 years ago
I am trying to design a recycling system for a fused deposition modeling machine. i am having trouble working out how the filament is made before being put on the feedback spool to be fed to the extruder. i am looking for the correct properties in which i can extrude the used abs into a filament of nominal diameter of 1.7mm, by properties i am looking for the temperature and pressure that is needby wade.wpg - General
