Re: Filastruder Kit Gallery - Pictures of Filastruders in the wild!
Just got mine up and running over the weekend. Took about 24hrs to fill a standard 1kg spool of mg94.
Great so far!

What sort of speed are you seeing, and with what material?
Tricks to increase speed:
Fully insulate barrel
Drill nozzle +100 microns and increase temperature 10C

Re: Filastruder Kit Gallery - Pictures of Filastruders in the wild!
Hi guys,
it seems that something was wrong during the electrical assembly of my filastruder kit and after a small explosion I no longer have the black component on the stall protector board (see the arrow in the attached pic ).
Could you please tell me the reference designator on it so I can replace it?
I live in Italy and I'd like to replace it in the next days since I'm carrying on some experiments.
Thank you.
Re: Filastruder Kit Gallery - Pictures of Filastruders in the wild!
As I mentioned in my email reply to you I'm completely out of these boards right now so I can't check, but I'll send a couple users to this thread.

Not that part, the part under the heatsink. If the heatsink is on there permanently don't worry about it.

Re: Filastruder Kit Gallery - Pictures of Filastruders in the wild!
I'm betting that's XL 4015EI, the 1 looks like an I.
Here's the data sheet:

Here's the chip on eBay:

You might be able to substitute another IC, my concern would be matching the switching frequencies.

Re: Filastruder Kit Gallery - Pictures of Filastruders in the wild!
I foolishly swapped the polarity, and the chip blew a hole. The chip without the heat sink. What Is it?
Re: Filastruder Kit Gallery - Pictures of Filastruders in the wild!
Do you mean the one near the input power terminal? That'd be LM317LZ.

The V2 mounted vertical ,I shifted the bolts forward so that the hopper would fit mounted the box section on a plate and screwed to the wall .This is my second Filastruder, this is a significant development on the older models .I would like a hopper design that allows for front loading but that would block the fan, a longer extension may help .Cheers

Filastruder #1956 reborn. Thanks to d.wood0403 for taking great care of it before selling. Thanks to AZERATE for his recommendations. And most of all thanks to Tim and Ian for very well designed machines. Still working through deciding on the final setup and fidgeting, but within 2 hours of turning it on, I was making awesome filament: 1.75 +- .03, 28 inches per minute @ 185. Apologies for the quality of the photos.

Re: Filastruder Kit Gallery - Pictures of Filastruders in the wild!
I contacted him to buy and he was supposed to pack it and give me a shipping quote. That was the last I heard from him. Doesn't answer PMs or post to the forums anymore.

Re: Filastruder Kit Gallery - Pictures of Filastruders in the wild!
Really cool to see, thanks for sharing.
Re: Filastruder Kit Gallery - Pictures of Filastruders in the wild!
he was slow replying last year like 4 months maybe new job keeps him busy or he may have decided to keep it a bit. it was working great though just to let you know in case he does sell it. he just had lots going on I think.

Here's #2013!
Had to make a few adjustments after I took this pic but it's up and running now 
Great job you filaguys! Can't wait to start experimenting!
Re: Filastruder Kit Gallery - Pictures of Filastruders in the wild!
Here's my new filastruder in action on a purpose built trolley so I can move it around the house. Since mounting Vertically Its made heaps of difference in consistency of sizing and reliability, no more noodle jams.
I also cant remember the Serial as I think I accidentally threw out the sticker

I didn't expect it to make an appearance in the video, but it was a nice surprise. They've run all sorts of polymers through it, stuff I'm not at liberty to discuss. Interesting stuff, though!
