Somewhere in the region of 150psi, +/- 50% depending on many factors.

Filastruder - the robust, inexpensive filament extruder
E3Dv6 All Metal Hotend - the premier 3D printing hotend

Re: Pressure in the barrel?

Id say pressure is not as much an issue as cooled plastic maybe twisting something off in moving parts inside if over powered lol

Solidoodle 2 with Deluxe kit cover & glass bed with heater. and 2nd board SD2 used not 3rd and alum platform not installed yet still wood. also need cooling fan installed to board. use Repetier Host couple vers. Slic3r also have all free ware STL programs
