Strooder, New Filament Extruder Project

[Strooder]

Thank you all for your great feedback and the questions you have asked. We will try to respond to all general queries on this post as best as possible and will reply individually to the more specific questions!

From the start of development we have focused on extruding PLA filament as we knew it was an issue that most extruders have avoided in the past. We are currently a week away from filming the video for Kickstarter which will show PLA being extruded.

Additionally as some of you have pointed out that a grinding mechanism is currently a great need for the community as a whole. We fully understand this and it is a huge issue for ourselves when our prints fail, I have even attached an image of our current failed prints! A grinder is the next move for ourselves given that the project is successfully backed. Testing will be done with adding virgin pellets to find the highest quality recycling method possible.

The Kickstarter will be open to international backers and we are currently finding the best option for delivery of the product to yourselves.

In regards to tolerance, we have beaten current competition on several tests, and we are optimistic to sustain this level of tolerance. However, we did not want to give a final statement on tolerance until we were completely satisfied with ongoing testing, hence the confusion from the article. I have attached an image of a calibration cube we printed with perfect dimensions using Strooder filament to illustrate this. The tolerance will be verified before launch.

Please ask any questions you have and thank you again for your support.
