Strooder, New Filament Extruder Project

[Strooder]

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 fabricated. The flow has greatly been improved and we have a high hopes for the new design.

We are working on few spooler designs and the compact nature of the spooler is one of the requirements. We have experimented with different motors to find the quietest one and the device is now significantly quieter than previous prototypes. More testing and decibel measurement will come in later updates.

We are running whole device including Strooder of 15A power supply (180W).

In theory Nylon and PET are possible, but we will conform this for you within the week as we finanlise our plastic testing!

Thank you

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 who are focusing solely on making Strooder the best it can be. We are currently in testing of the newest version of Strooder that has a quieter yet more powerful motor, steel lasercut internal structure which offers imporoved durability, a new nozzel design and an enhanced user interface.

The enginieers are working with us to make sure that Strooder will work without any faults when it arrives at your door. Because we have had to focus our attention on the new version we are still finalising PLA and ABS testing which has shown stronger and more consistent results everyday. Once this has been finished our imediate next step will be to test other material and colours and we will get this news to you as soon as we know.

What we can say is that in theory we will be able to melt any plastics in the temprature range of Strooder, up to 250 degrees, and the new engineers will be verifiying this very soon. Unfortunetly we cannot give a definitive answer until these tests have been completed. However, as a team we have complete faith in the potnetial that Strooder holds.

We understand that this does not fully answeryour question, but hope you can make a decision based on this information topurchase a Strooder before Kickstarter ends.

If you have any other queries don't hesitate to ask!

OK, so are Nylon and PET possible ?
What is the manufacture status now ?

Is anybody so kind who backed up the kickstarter project and forward me the updates? Unfortunately or furtunately depending how you might see it I was not part of the backing campain. I tried to contact the initiators of this project several times. At first they seemed to be very quick (I was paying money upfront through their webpage to receive the product at christmas time). They also promised me to provide me the updates and responded to every mail. Now as is didn't pull back my money from paypal and that some time has passed I'd like to get some updates. Contacting them by mail was not successfull. Via the facebook page neither. And on kickstarter I can't mail other users to ask them about the updates. It's a mess. I'm very disappointed about the current situation. Especially from the guys how developed this thing. Do I not have the same right as other kickstarter users to see what's going on currently? Please drop me a mail at p r o c r a s h @ n e u s o b DOT de if you are a kickstarter backer and are able to provide me some updates.
