Reprap development and further adventures in DIY 3D printing. RepRapCalculator. Universal Paste Extruder for 3D printers by RichRap. An assembly video for the Universal Paste Extruder can be found here, giving you details of how to build one up - youtu.be/iiyEOKpz_b8 You can print with Ceramic Clays, Silicone, Sugar pastes, solder paste for PCB assembly, Chocolate, Frostings, Masa Harina, and all sorts of other food’s or pastes that can be extruded through a syringe.

Baricuda Extruder for 3D Printing Sugar and Chocolate by jmil. UPDATE 2: HOW-TO ASSEMBLE Visual instructions posted on my flickr: UPDATE: My Z-idler files are now posted at the request of bill20r3.
NOTE: Sugar and Chocolate precision extrusion should be controlled NOT by precision of air pressure (which is hard) but instead by precision of temperature (which is easy). Temperature controls viscosity which controls extrusion rate at a given temperature. The temperature to use depends on the material properties of your extrudate (read: the sugar). But you want around 100 úC extrusion for this type of sugar glass you can make at home (you DON'T need the cream of tartar): Chocolate is just as easy -- but don't use water! Get a Frostruder MK2 (you need the rubber stopper, tubing, and pneumatic solenoids) Lasercut these new parts out of 1/4" MDF or other RIGID wood. NOTE: There's no BOM because it will depend on the thickness of the material you laser cut. I use one stopper clamp, one top clamp, one spacer clamp, and one bottom clamp. Enjoy! Printrbot LC by abdrumm.
Printrbot is a 3D printer that had a highly successful kickstarter campaign... so successful, a laser cut design was needed to reduce production time.
It has since become a hit. These are the unique parts that make up a Printrbot LC. Printrbot LC has a 6" x 6" x 6" (150 x 150 x 150 mm). This is about 3.5 liters. The Printrbot LC takes a couple hours to build - give or take. THE Printrbot by abdrumm. Printrbot Build Instructions : un album. PrintrBot : Les plans sont disponibles sur Thingiverse. Il y a quelque temps, je vous ai présenté le projet PrintrBot, un imprimante 3D économique et simple à réaliser.
Comme l’avait promis Brook Drum, son concepteur, il vient de mettre à disposition les plans de chaque pièce sur Thingiverse. Cela est une bonne occasion pour rendre cette imprimante totalement réplicative, mais c’est aussi un moyen pour réaliser la votre facilement si vous disposer déjà d’une autre imprimante 3D, ou si vous connaissez quelqu’un qui pourra réaliser les pièces pour vous. Vous pouvez donc retrouver toutes les fichiers 3D de chaque pièce au format STL sur Thingiverse. Et pour continuer dans la simplicité, Brooke Drum a également réaliser une série de photos permettant de suivre toutes les étapes de l’assemblage de l’imprimante 3D PrintrBot.

It connects the x axis (X-CARRIAGE to the X-MOTOR mount) carrying the extruder and hot end cables. Continuing on it then connects the z axis (X-MOTOR mount to the PB-BASE) carrying extruder, hot end, x end stop, and x motor cables. I use cable chain links from thing # 1978 for the x axis. I created larger links (1056-01) for z axis.
Larger links are required to fit all the cables running between the X-MOTOR and PB-BASE. Your first 3d printer. Hot Glue Gun Extruder for Your CNC Machine or 3D Printer. 3D Printing still costs a few dollars and may be out of reach of hobbiest who do not have any budget.
The goal of this instructable is to construct an FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printer extruder (a key component) using a $3 Hot Glue Gun. If you don't think you have seen an FDM machine, you probably have. There are many hobby versions out on the market now ... Think Up! , Makerbot, RepRap, Up! There are many parts to a FDM printer and in this instructable I am going to concentrate on the extruder. Before I get any further I would like to extend a big "Thank You" to the open source community and all of the people who have contributed to the 3D printing community.
So let's get started shall we. Just in case you want to see it in action before you do some reading, view the video below. Apple Logo (the one with the bite out of it) The apple turned out the best.
