Topic: Jesse's Filastruder Build
Some photos of my Filastruder kit. I haven't successfully printed out the electronics v2 case. ABS warps too much and PLA got clogged in the nozzle. I may just make it out wood.

Thanks Tim! I probably spent 8 hours total trying to print that case.
Simplicity FTW

:-/ Sorry. it worked okay on my enclosed Solidoodle but I didn't think about non-enclosed printers.
Sweet looking filament! Can you comment more on how you made it?

I made layers in the hopper 1 to 2 cm thick. A layer consisted of white ABS pellets mixed with one colorant. Eventually all the layers get gradually mixed together as the stack falls into the middle.
I just finished printing a hollow calibration pyramid from filastruder-made filament. The white ABS pellets came from eBay user "carlsievering". Not a bad result. The filament was supposed to be red but turned out pink. Not sure why.
Nice!
Pink means either not enough colorant, or you have white ABS (which already has white colorant in it). Did you buy white or natural? Link?
Incidentally most of Carl's stuff is Sabic MG94, which is great for 3D printing. There are rumors that it's what Stratasys uses. It's what OS Printing sells and what I include with Filastruders.
What kind of delta bot is that? It almost looks like you are printing on a record.
Also, if it's not too much trouble could yo use www.imgur.com so your pictures are inline?
The printer is a Rostock Max. I think the reason why the filament came out pink is because the ABS pellets from Carl's eBay store have white pigment unlike the OSP LLC. pellets.

He might be out of the natural, but I got 18 lbs of it from him in addition to ten pounds of white.

Yes, I messaged him and he said he ran out of natural. Be aware that white pellets don't really color that well.

Just curious, how do you know that most of Carl's stuff is Sabic MG94?

It was in the auction description.
Ah, didn't see that.
Have you tried printing anything with your rainbow filament Jesse?
I wonder what it would look like...
