Strooder, New Filament Extruder Project

[LambdaFF]

You should just buy some filament and then you can do some 3D printing rather than waiting for the filament maker

Agreed. Especially since Strooder is busy delaying the project of 1 month ... every month.

Another great project launched with magnificent articles everywhere, rode on hype and delivers ... not even updates.

You're an original backer of the campaign?

Unfortunately yes

I can't believe it. Yesterday's update states :
- they have to force fit (hammer) some assemblies.
- the auger screws have to be re-lathed 1mm. How was the initial design tolerance set if you need to remove 1mm in a tube/rod assembly ??
- They have picked delays (again) because they noticed just now that each PCB is missing a couple mosfets. ... like "it's so small, we didn't notice". Really ?

... and that's the end for me of Kickstarter : they make it too easy for people with no engineering skills to present a couple of arranged photos and over-optimistic statements of "prototypes" that are "ready for manufacture".

This to me sounds like a bad choice of manufacturing partner but with some heavy lessons about the importance of oversight. This is obviously a painful lesson for them, and for you. The thing to cling to is that they are still trying to make a go of it and so it should not end the way of the Zano drone

Could you please make your own topic instead of bombing someone else there project with a link with yours?


Also i find personaly if a extruder is to high as price goes, where is still the profit of having one?
Isnt it better to just buy one for 20 euros instead of buying another device that costs 450-800 euros?
You would have to buy the pellets and eletricity, so it will take long till you even have your breakeven point

This is a opinion and simple a discussion and i would like perhaps if one of you guys could answer it,
Due with those prices i don't think any household would get one, or he is printing every day with 4 printers.
