Topic: Number 13 done!

It took some time until I get my Filastruder to run smooth.

At first time I did the same as ckchaves, I saw the red dot on the motor and thought that should be the positive. Glad that I saw it soon that wasnt spinning to the right side.

Other problem was my temp that was decreasing as soon my fan started to run. Was impossible to run my filastruder with the nozzle exposed like some pictures I have seen. The blowing air was cooling faster then the heater was heating. Only after insulating like in the picture I got stable temps and was able to run my motor without stop after some minutes.

I also was suprised to the noise of the motor, I was expecting something a lot louder. I even started to make my box all covered with felt insulation tape but at the end wasnt really necessary.

Very happy with my filastruder, I want another one Tim!

Great job bernabap! I like the threaded rod fan support!

You should post the STLs on Thingiverse, I think a lot of people would really like it.
