This makes a fairly granular powder so what we need is a machine to extrude this powder into a continuous rod. Thats beyond my capabilities at the moment!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321669798401086867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339813531032979196.post-15741582876154353522010-01-02T09:54:36.356+00:002010-01-02T09:54:36.356+00:00This is such great news!

Now we 'just' need a way to make filament from it :) I would love to start recycling soon!<br /><br />I discovered that PMMA would *probably* extrude when I crashed my print head into the acrylic once. Some 10mm of PMMA was extruded afterwards. <br /><br />Good to know how to get it to stick somewhat and actually build something!Erik de Bruijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433438819279256757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339813531032979196.post-20171207921470030632010-01-02T01:29:13.598+00:002010-01-02T01:29:13.598+00:00Worth every bit of warped foam board an amazing ac...Worth every bit of warped foam board an amazing achievement.. opening new frontiers in RepRapping.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11790019375326311849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339813531032979196.post-72824748318796103092010-01-01T23:37:55.162+00:002010-01-01T23:37:55.162+00:00Wow, never thought we can drive PMMA through an re...Wow, never thought we can drive PMMA through an reprap extruder. You're lucky that you have a moving bed, fixed extruder.
