Is there anyone out there using a gear type displacement pump to do paste extrusion? It seems like that would be the simplest type of cold extruder to accurately control with a stepper. It should be pretty easy to fabricate and cheap, too. What I have in mind is similar to this: but much smaller.by ChuckT - Developers

Nice link, thanks for posting it. I will definitely post all documentation for my machine at least here: . I will post it all elsewhere if there is any demand. I am still exploring the ideas at this point. I will certainly get it done, though. I will make the corners and carriage parts out of aluminum bar. I found sources for the motors and controllers that I want to use. I will most likely useby ChuckT - Developers
Traumflug, I like your signature. There is a wealth of information there. Thanks!by ChuckT - Developers
I think my design is going to look something like RepMan. I am confident that I can build something usable. I also have a mill and a lathe which allows me to make parts. I will probably use gauge steel and all-thread to build the frame and all. I am planning to use drill rod and all-thread for the active parts. I will use 2 nuts separated by a small spring to minimize backlash. The stage will beby ChuckT - Developers
Greetings! My name is Chuck and I live in Austin, Texas. I am currently making Irish pennywhistles and shipping them all over the world. (It's a labor of love, not a business) I am also learning how to use a metal foundry as another hobby. I have a couple of web sites: I am seriously considering building a reprap. I want to make sand molds for aluminum and bronze. I have taken a look at thingby ChuckT - Developers
