Has anyone tried multiple string extruder. Like instead of putting one hole on 1.75mm put more than one.by coolplastic - Plastic Extruder Working Group
Hey guys I saw the band extruder video... Very cool... Can any one tell what they actually did with the band? Where can it be actually used? And I am trying to find out if there is a way to extrude fast like the extrusion bot... any ideas on how to extrude fast with maintaining the accuracy of the filament.... Thanks...

Guys any ideas on extruding faster?by coolplastic - Plastic Extruder Working Group
How do you guys should think the extrusion bot does it? I know we want to keep the cost low but I think speed for making a kg of filament should be around an hour to an hour and a half max. Just increasing the extrusion speed is not a viable solution if you want to maintain filament accuracy at +-0.01. I think the extrusion bot uses a small constriction before pushing the plastic into the mby coolplastic - General
As that's what bigger machines use :-Pby coolplastic - Plastic Extruder Working Group
I understand that if you want to make a reel or two the speed would be good enough but I read somewhere that you need 333 meters of 1.75 filament the to make 1kg so at 35 meters will approximately take ten hours. For larger runs keeping the wiper motor or even the motor used in the picture looks doubtful because of heat buildup...

Hi all, I think a vertical design is better as you can use gravity to increase the flow rate. However the speed is of importance. The speed should be in the range of 36 - 48" per minute like the extrusion bot. Any ideas on how to achieve that without dropping filament accuracy? What is the speed that you get on this machine? How accurate is the filament from this machine?by coolplastic - Plastic Extruder Working Group
