			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Bumping this thread to update my progress...</p><p>I&#039;ve owned my Filastruder for just under a year, pushed out maybe 50lbs horizontally with no modifications made aside from fully insulating the barrel. But I had random kinks and ramen...sometimes it would occur after 30g, sometimes after 1300g.<br />After a few weeks of being down to prepare for vertical extrusion with a Filawinder, I have <strong>zero</strong> problems! No more ramen, and the only kinks I get are while a load the winder, but it does not have any negative effect to winding, extruding, or printing. I seem to have gained extrusion speed by 3&quot; per minute, the Filawinder keeps tolerances tight (.02mm+/- with PA747), and colorants blend much better. <br />I highly recommend doing this<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/hCqeK0X.jpg" alt="http://i.imgur.com/hCqeK0X.jpg" /></span><br />I would like to thank Tim and Ian for their spectacular designs and services</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:</p><p>Please, kiddies.....be certain you have let you Filastruder sit at temp long enough. <br />Last week I lost track of time and thought I had it sitting at 185c for 20 minutes. After turning the motor on, the middle assembly rotated and snapped itself off of the wooden base. Confused, I looked at my phone and it had only been 7 minutes. And no, I was not drunk. lol<br />No pics, just an admission of guilt and a warning. After all, it&#039;s nothing a few drilled holes and screws can&#039;t fix! <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/big_smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="big_smile" /></p>]]></content>

This is awesome in person. A true matte black with such little reflection I can barely keep track of extrusion speed. The surface reflects as much light as heat shrink.<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/SklcXhC.jpg" alt="http://i.imgur.com/SklcXhC.jpg" /></span><br />About .22lbs made a few hours ago.</p><p>Like I stated above, I have pretty bad bed sway and a worn nozzle I have been too lazy to change.<br />With that said, here is your plastic porn. <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /><br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/DE8P1E9.jpg" alt="http://i.imgur.com/DE8P1E9.jpg" /></span><br />All printed with E3D v6 or Lite6 with Volcano and .6 nozzle.......and speed.<br />*Overkill Y bracket in from was printed with Octave ABS without a Hobb Goblin<br />*Enclosure riser (bottom, rear) was Octave ABS with Hobb Goblin. Both were at .3951 height<br />*Lawsy carriage parts (top) were printed yesterday with PA747 from a Filastruder</p><p>These are far from my best quality prints, but again, when holding the parts, the quality of speaks for itself.<br />And as a side note: Revolve3d.com claims to have pellets pre-dried and ready for extrusion......this is a solid and accurate statement! If they had a little more variety (not just PA747/4043D PLA) I would be sold for life on their stock. Stellar work.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Oh yeah! Don&#039;t get me wrong, I&#039;m very very pleased with the quality. I&#039;m just wondering why I jumped from .02 to .05<br />I understand MG94 and PA747 are different, but I just find it a bit odd that the diameter would jump so much. Either way, it is still useable and I have great print quality.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Update:<br />Wow! The quality I got after purging and installing the melt filter/nozzle is amazing. The color is true with a 2/3% mixture by volume and extrudes in my printer setup better than Octave filament. I took a side by side pic and nobody guessed right.....even with a worn nozzle and significant bed sway...even my wife approved! <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/big_smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="big_smile" /><br />I will add pics, but I&#039;m wondering why I lost diameter consistency. After purging the MG94, I began a few runs with PA747 and then quality went from .02 +/- to .05+/- even after upping temps to 187c as Revolve3D mentioned in the DIY threads. Exact temp was not mentioned, but higher than in the Filastruder .pdf</p><p>I still stand by the Filastruder purchase and recommend it to others. Talk about self-sufficiency!</p>]]></content>
