Make Your Own 3D Printer Extruder
Egypt-based ATOM 3D is an open source project for DIY 3D printers. The project has released an Instructables tutorial on how to create a simple, low-cost extruder for a 3D printer. Using everyday materials like plywood and aluminum scrap, the extruder looks simple to put together and seems to work. Check out more details in the full article: http://3dprint.com/25029/atom-3d-diy-extruder/
Below is a look at ATOM 3D's DIY extruder. Let us know if you have tried doing this project. Leave your feedback, suggestions and comments below!

Looks good. I would suggest getting the barrel top as close to the drive pulley as possible, and a filament guide hoop above the drive as well. The less gap between the barrel and the drive means less opportunity to buckle the filament. A filament guide hoop would help contain filament position before it goes into the drive. Maybe just surface glue instead of tab into slot, to avoid weakening the lever arm.
Print not sticking to base plate?
