Chemically grinding ABS scrap


It appears that acetone can be used to reduce ABS scrap to a fine powder for reprocessing into new filament... do you want to know more?

Mahmoud,

Here is the section on the extruder. It is pretty extensive.

You can either buy a kid of the parts or make them yourself. Extruders have been made out of all sorts of materials. About the only part that can be a bit difficult to obtain is the PTFE thermal break.

If that isn't helpful, tell me a bit more explicitly what it is that you need.
