Filament extruder

An update on the extruder project: approval has been granted to upload relevant files onto the university's website. Currently, most of the necessary files can be found here: http://www.pe.mw.tum.de/fileadmin/w00bft/www/zip/Konstruktionszeichnungen_Extruder.7z. Although the file list is not yet complete, efforts are being made to rectify this. If time permits, a BOM and instructions will also be added. However, the individual is currently occupied with thesis writing. Recent tests have demonstrated promising results in terms of consistent diameter (currently at 2.9mm), with minimal variations due to manipulation of the not yet solid filament. The die diameter may be increased slightly. Extrusion speed remains a challenge but can be improved with a larger motor, as the current motor spins at 35RPM and extrudes approximately 4cm per minute. Should you have any questions or inquiries, please feel free to leave a comment, and the individual will endeavor to respond promptly. An updated BOM has been added to the downloads.
