We have now actually confirmed we can extrude wood filament, and print with it.6512I am groot

Hi Procrash,

Sorry for not responding sooner, I first i would like to thank you for supporting the product, I will of course send across the update now for you to read.

Best regards ...

We haven't finalised all of our recommended settings, though we were thinking of possibly making a thread where we will post our filament experiments, basically a development blog for filament. Is...

That is awesome, we are eager to get it to you!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know that we are giving away spools of multi colored filament made by our own Strooder. We are hosting a 3D printing competition on Facebook...

Our latest preview video of Strooder. Getting closer to making all the custom filament for 3D printing. The expected release date is now February 2015

Those are all suitable polymers for extrusion at home and will melt within Strooder's temperature range. The only thing we need to test is the optimal conditions for tolerances, and how...

Strooder is a brand new and exciting plastic filament extruder that allows you to create affordable filament at home! Following our successful kickstarter campaign we are now taking further...

Also as an extra point of interest, we currently have a PhD student working with us in the lab experimenting with carbon fiber - ABS filament, which should provide some interesting results. We'll be...

We are looking into extruding composite filaments with Strooder. We believe it is very likely to work with wood particles/dust. However, it needs to be investigated further to see what kind of...

We have been experimenting with different types of plastic to see what Strooder can extrude, in theory any thermoplastics that melt below 250-260C. We have successfully extruded both PET, HDPE. We...

Hi again DrLuigi,

It is great to hear that you are still wanting to purchase a Strooder before the Kickstarter comes to an end!

This week we employed two new engineers and an engineering intern...

Hello DrLuigi,

Currently the consistency is at most 0.06, but we are working to improve this so it is consistently below 0.05. The new nozzle designs have been completed and send away to be...

Strooder has hit over £50K now which means if you add £50 to your Strooder pledge, you will receive an automatic spooler.

Check out the latest update to see the prototype spooler in action

Hello,

The retail price is definitely set at £249 (Approx. $415)

If you are buying pellets from ourselves it would take around 15KG-17KG to break even, given you use virgin pellets.

Once...

Hi,

Sorry to hear your confusion. As mentioned above, it is guaranteed that 5mm can be fed into the tube and be successfully extruded. We are continuing our testing of up to an inch and it is...

Our current tests were with the plastic size up to 5 mm grain size which has performed successfully. We have had positive results of extrusion up to about an inch but we are still finalising the...

Hey Astro,

1) We have been experimenting with different motors to achieve the best results possible however the aim is to have about 10 RMP (currently 8 RPM) top speed on the auger bit. The 35 RPM...

That is absolutely possible. As long as the plastic is cut down to the feed tube size (less than .5mm) and any contaminants are removed then you can recycle it.

Launch!! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/omnidynamics/strooder-first-truly-consumer-3d-printing-filament Ultra early birds are gone already!

Almost time, less than 30 mins and as promised the preview link so you can be notified when we launch https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/464623233/1877661727?token=aa2486b3

Hi JRDM,


All of our business costs have been factored in when we priced Strooder. We fully appreciate what it takes to stay a float as a business and providing the Kickstarter goal is met we...

Hi,

For international orders, the charges will be offset by the UK charges, so you will only pay the remainder. We are putting estimates on the Kickstarter page but the estimated price for...

Update #9:


We have been approved by Kickstarter. Everything is in place and we are launching today (May 27th) at 18:00 GMT+1!


We want to say a massive thank you to all of you who have...
