Universal Pellet Extruder Open Front

I made a feed stock stirrer that can be downloaded from here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3051987 This stops the feed stock getting stuck in the extruder when printing with waste plastic. I'm focusing my attention on updating my new design, which you can find here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3032188 I remixed this design to see what was happening inside the extruder while it's printing and to check if pellets jammed. So I made a window out of old PET water bottles that fits into the cooler. I also created an easy way to unload pellets by adding a sliding door to empty them out. At the time of writing, there doesn't seem to be any space for general discussions where users of this extruder can share information and solve problems. So I also made this group where I'll share my experiences and solutions: https://www.thingiverse.com/groups/universal-pellet-extruder It would be great to hear others' experiences, so please join and add your input.
