Update #1:

It been a week since our first post so we thought we'd update you on our developments so far! (See Picture)

As you will be able to see we have changed the motor speed control sensor from mechanical to optical for greater control and acuracy. In addition we have also changed the heating block to ensure greater control and heat transfer.
Moreover, we have altered the mounting method used which has resulted in a shape change, and changed the main body of the extruder from PLA to laser cut MDF to ensure thermal resistance in case of overheat.

We have also began developmenet of the exterior casing which we will show in the next post to hopefully gain your thoughts and insights!

So, again; What do you guys think?
