Great idea!  Now I have an excuse to put up a shelf in the utility room.

Keep me up to date on the winder also.

Thanks,

I added a board at a right angle to the front of the base and set it on a shelf.  It's a wire shelf, so I used zip ties to hold it but a weight on top of it will work as well.  You can see it here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9Du_4Ba5DA.

I cut an opening in the shelf, but you could hang it off the front.  I didn't do that because the shelf extended so far from the wall.

Ian, that's beautiful work! Not only does the extruder look great mounted that way, the whole system (extruder plus sensor plus winder) is producing really consistent filament, wound very evenly across the spool.

Keep me up to date on the winder also.

I'm hoping for mid-Nov for making kits available.  I'm going through the process of getting the electronics fabbed/assembled, so it mostly depends on how long it takes to get through the back-and-forth involved in that.

Also, you might want to PM a moderator (Ian/lawsy/Brad) to have them move this to the right section.

Thanks,
