用负担得起的Filastruder挤出机为3D打印机制作自己的灯丝越来越近。Filastruder在一小时内达到了Kickstarter Target $ 5000，并在启动了两天的时间后售价近50,000美元，每天都在增加资金的金额。目前，该基金超过130,000美元，直到截止日期为止22天。
在Filastruder Kickstarter广告系列中，大多数支持选项已经填补。目前，仍然有可用的座位，售价为300美元，可用于8月份的完全组装Filastruder，6月份运送的Fillastruder套件，以及以10美元的名望和荣耀的无限低级选项，以及25至60美元的选择，用于使用Filastruder生产的丝状。
For those new to Filastruder, it’s a filament extruder for 3D printing, which allows anyone to create their own filament at home. Operating Filatruder is fairly simple. First the user set desired temperature for extrusion and time to warm up. Then fills the hopper with plastic pellets and desired colorant, and turn on the gearmotor. The plastic will begin to extrude from the Filastruder, and the outcome is filament, which can then be spooled up and used with a 3D printer. The extruded filament can be either 1.75 or 3 mm and colorant can be added for color variations.
Filastruderis a project of Tim Elmore, a Mechanical Engineering PhD student at the University of Florida and his friend Allen Haynes. Elmore, who purchased his first 3D printer fall 2012, was dissapointed how fast filament was consumed, and decided to do something about it while keeping the cost level.
The beta testing has been going well. Elmore’s personal extruder has run over 250 hours without problems extruding ABS. Three revisions for the design has been done after the beta testing, and it is now simpler and has improved reliability. Most of the beta testing was done for ABS, and the tests are now being conducted for PLA.
