Even with ABS, PLA, Nylon, HIPS, and a bunch of Taulman filaments,
the world of 3D printers is missing out on a great supply of spools of
plastic filament. Plastic welding rod is available from just about every
plastics supplier, and in more variety than even the most well-stocked
filament web shop.
This Kickstarter hopes
to put all those exotic plastic welding rods to good use. Instead of
being designed to only use 1.75 and 3mm filaments, this guy will extrude
welding rods up to 4.76mm in diameter. This opens the door for 3D
printed objects made out of PDPF, PVC, Polypropylene, Polyethylene and
other high molecular weight plastics. Because these welding rods are much bigger than the usual plastic
filament, this extruder also has the option for a very beefy NEMA 23
motor. It’s the perfect solution if you’re planning on building a
homebrew ludicrous-sized printer, or you just to show off just how
awesome you are.
