Topic: Hello Fellow makers I am The Plasticator.

I bought a Kick starter v1.1 Filastruder on ebay last week and received it today!
Mine is #413 and has been sitting since they boxed it up and shipped it 8-8-2013.
I am so glad to have bought it on a whim because I have learned so much reading this forum for the last week.
I have a Filawinder coming in a couple days so this is going to be a tinkerers dream of a weekend.
I will post pics when complete and hope to share knowledge along the path to self sufficient filament production.

Re: Hello Fellow makers I am The Plasticator.

I finished up the Filawinder Build last night, tonight I am finishing up the clean out with the 2013 abs pellets.
I is a prime opportunity to get the two machines working together and it was so easy to make it work I just can't quit grinnin!!
I bet the new ABS pellets will be even better than these vintage ones.
So far I am making a pretty consistent 1.60mm.
I know I have to be patient but I feel confident I will get it right eventually.
Thanks for your help Tim.
I am thinking about doing some upgrades pretty soon and bring this thing closer to up to date.
Thanks for the welcome Heartless I have family in Beloit.
