Silicone cartridge extruder

SummaryWIP Stepper extruder for silicone cartridges is being developed. Printed parts are: Back plate Front plate Pulley big Pusher sled Pusher clamp InstructionsWIP are being written to build the hardware for adding it to an Ultimaker. It's hoped that some empty 350ml silicone cartridges will be found for other print media. More work needs to be done on designing the bowden holding parts and the nozzle. These parts must be easy to exchange or even single-use because a silicone mess cannot be cleaned up easily. Vitamins needed are: Two linear rails with Linear Bearings, in this case O=16mm rails Treaded rod with nut, what was found in the parts bin Two ballbearings fitting to the treaded rod, mine are o=6mm, O=19mm h=6mm Stepper motor Nema17 Some more treaded rods and bolts, in this case 4mm ones XML Belt and XML Pulleys, in my case
