Topic: Auger fed pellet extruders
Gentlemen, ladies, friends, acquaintances, trolls & bots,
I am at an impasse, I cannot find a 3D print head that extrudes pellets instead of filament that is:
Affordable
Reliable
Actually for sale
Has sellers that respond
I've been trying to contact www.Mahor.xyz & www.direct3d.it & https://dyzedesign.com/pulsar-pellet-extruder/ all to no avail.
The last one I am asking to become a beta tester.
I am building a large scale 3D printer (Cartesian) with a build volume of 1450x1450x1000. Printing large objects with filament is not only slow, but incredibly expensive. I could buy a filastruder, but again, slow.
I was thinking about building my own, there are projects out there that have a partially printed mechanism driven by a NEMA 17 and in to a Chinese auger, I'm just trying to find a pre-fab solution that's sub $400.
Any thoughts? Leads? Rumors? Legends or quests that I can embark on?
TIA.
