Thanks for the pictures Xabbax ! But I wonder what parts you used in picture F and G. And how did you fasten the nut on the motor shaft. Is this a square nut that connects the axis to the nut (from picture E) ?? I put a hex-nut onto the motorshaft and drilled a hole between the thread of the nut and shaft and put a 2mm steal bolt into it so that it doesn't loosen while driving the auger bit.von ianmcmill - Plastic Extruder Working Group
My extruder is now roughly built. Some minor stuff needs to be tweaked. For example the coupling from the motor to the auger bit. I tried several methods and the last I came about was by using two nuts joined with an allen wrench. See picture below. This describes it best. It worked for some test runs but unfortunately my PWM motor controller died. So now the motor runs without controller. Fulvon ianmcmill - Plastic Extruder Working Group
