Who's getting a Filastruder??!?

Thanks I found a couple I was just hoping some knew of a great places

 

Wow you got a new battery for your lap top so cool

 

Just Kidding it looks like fun let us know how it turns out

 

Thats kind of a major oops. Hey could you do me a favor could you take a couple of closeup pics of the extruding tips form both sides I am curious what there's look like. Thanks

 

Interesting mine is hollow on the inside where yours is solid. In my tip the extruding hole will be about approx 2mm long based n what I can measure I wonder what impact that will have there is another type that could possibly get me a longer but drilling a 1.75mm hole through a lot of material could be a little tricky good thing it is brass and also that the drill bits came in packs of 10 for $4.00

 

As far as being good or not it comes with the kit which I assume they actually successfully built one using all of this so I would say that it should be OK. I have seen brass used in many different configuration so it almost seems to be a standard. I think you should be Ok with that. Now mine on the other hand is a prototype so I still may have issues but not so big as to not being able to overcome them, at least I hope.

 

OH OK LOL sorry about that. Yes the pics were great they let me see exactly what I wanted

 

One thing I just quite haven't figured out and you probably won't be able to tell me until you get your auger but if you could when you assemble it could yo let me know approximately where the end of the auger goes up to. I mean does it run the right up to the tip? does it stop just after the heater? or just before?

Does this make sense?

 

well mine will definitely be long enough just not sure how much to remove



sure glad we're talking about augers "how much to remove" YIKES

 

I was actually wondering about that I may go back and get a smaller size start with that and go up

Hey Seshan is there a way you could measure that opening or maybe take another pic showing just the perimeter of the flat piece(the head of the plug) and the hole in the center if the megapixels are high enough I can enlarge it extrapolate the approx diameter of the drilled hole.

 

Thanks for that Seshan that pretty much ends that debate glad I found out before I drilled anything

 

Ok another question for those of us going into the extruding zone what temp do you set for the different materials? Is it the melting point of the specific material or 10 degree under so it is soft? Is it the same as the temp we use when we print it? I have never heard anything about that. Anyone have any links or information on that?
