			<description><![CDATA[<p>This past April I was at home a bit more, and I decided to try turning one of my regular Filastruder nozzles into a melt filter nozzle.&nbsp; I used a RootCNC, and a 0.046 inch bit from Drillbitsunlimited (despite the name of the store, it was an endmill, not a drill bit).</p><p>I 3D printed something to thread onto the nozzle, with the intention of then attaching the plastic part to my spoilerboard.&nbsp; Later in order to make sure I had centered the CNC over the nozzle I instead cut out the shape of the hex head of the nozzle in a piece of MDF that was attached to my spoilboard, then just pressed the hex head down into the shape I&#039;d cut. (since the CNC had machined the shape of the nozzle with the center being 0,0 it knew where center was).</p><p>Here&#039;s one of the setup: I swear I&#039;ve cleaned up the dust some since this photo was taken, if you ever cut Extira, even a little, it evades dust collection, it manages to get everywhere, and it clings to everything.&nbsp; It&#039;s basically MDF but instead of glue they used resin to hold it together making it outdoor rated, and enabling it to hold a lot more detail.</p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?tlgJ7Gz.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?tlgJ7Gz.jpg" /></span></p><p>Here&#039;s a closer shot of the nozzle right after machining:<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?YFJPeXB.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?YFJPeXB.jpg" /></span></p><p>After cleaning the nozzle:<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?H7Npltt.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?H7Npltt.jpg" /></span></p><p>Adding the screen:<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?4LGhOzS.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?4LGhOzS.jpg" /></span></p><p>And finally adding the clip:<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?dm7tnpW.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?dm7tnpW.jpg" /></span></p>]]></description>
