Strooder, New Filament Extruder Project

[DrLuigi]

Update #7:

We have new gears and a motor encoder. The gears transfer higher tourqe and the encoder is giving smoother control. Both are making the filament more consistent.

Also a big welcome to mini Strooder, the prototype keyring being perfected as we speak!

We wanted to also say a big thanks to 3Duniverse for their article covering Strooder! If you haven't seen it check it out here: http://www.3duniverse.org/2014/05/15/strooder/

Ah so it is going to cost roughly 450 dollars?
Thats quiet a bit more than the kickstarter, wich makes me think that the retail version will be improven quiet a bit as quality goes etc?

Kinda hoped on this project to be more economical as price goes, To be something that would get more people making there own filament, If it is 450 dollars well, then it wont be that much diffrent as the others we know now.
Even tho the Strooder seems more compact and a bit more nicely to have in your room, kinda dissapointed on that side to be honest.

Just saying my opinion to help you of course.
