Topic: filastruder base size

Hey guys I'm just out at the shops and can't see what size wood base I need to buy for the filastruder. It doesn't appear anywhere in the documentation or am I missing it? It's hard to see on the phone

Anyone know off hand what size wood base you need minimum for the extruder? I just got it the other week so it's the latest one.

Re: filastruder base size

i use one thats 7 1/2" by 27" and another thats 7" x 16 1/2" both work but 16 1/2 is to short and i have a 10 inch 2x4 for the filament guide/fan.
just find a piece thats thick at least 1/2"
