Based on the above I'm building something similar but using gears and rollers to push the filament into the cutter. As soon as it's working I will post some images. The first version did not work because the filament blocked the cutter but I think I understand why (placed the cutter to low)

Same thing happened to me.  the PTE was not creeping well.  I solved it with a blender it returned almost powder and then it crawled well through the barret

Did you do some additional testing like the design with the two cutters?

4006885326002 is the number to search for on Ebay (it's EAN number). I bought mine for $23.66 US dollars shipped from England.

I just saw nothing else that looked very close to it as a cylindrical cutter that I could buy locally. I doubt it would be much cheaper even if a local supplier was available.

Cool design.

Heat cycle degradation isn't as bad as most folks think because we run cooler temperatures than the big boy industrial extruders, with nearly zero shear.
