Hello!  I will build a filament extruder for PET plastic only and I will use a wood drill as a screw.  I am in doubt about the relationship between the diameter and length of the thread (L/D).  I am thinking of using a drill bit 18mm in diameter by 360mm in length (L/D = 20).  Is this an appropriate measure?  What about temperatures in the compression and melting zones? 

Sincerely Yours


Que tipo de broca utilizaras? Marca y costo.

Yo pienso utilizar una broca modelo DEWALT DW1687 1-Inch by 17-Inch, pero quisiera ver otras recomendaciones

And why are you attempting to engineer your own when there are affordable kit options such as the filasruder

that said look here for some design guidance
