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?
Dear Sir, My name is Mahmoud,I'm from Egypt,I'm student in baclori stage of "Benha Higher Institute Of Technology",and I want to build an machine of RP (FDM).
But I have a problem about the extruder part,so I'm asking your help about the extruder part( how to build it?, what I need to know build it).
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.

Mahmoud,
ReplyDeleteHere is the section on the extruder. It is pretty extensive.
