Filament for 3D printers is still relatively expensive, with the Filafab that does not have to be the case. Read more to find out about this very interesting and useful piece of equipment, a must have for any 3D printer enthusiast.
“Using a caliper the diameter ranged between 2.21 mm - 2.49 mm which is well within the tolerance of most if not all 3D printers.”
I don’t know of any 3D printers that can reliably feed 2.21mm filament.
I thought it was supposed to be more like 2.75mm…
This was a test for consistency not a specific diameter. With a very short time spent learning (10 minutes or so) I was able to get 0.3mm variation with the majority with in 0.1mm tolerances. Based on this I believe 0.05 is easily achievable with just a little more practice.
@Kas_L so in other words, Yet Another Filament Extruder. Congrats on your progress and good luck with it. I know a number of designs are on thingiverse and elsewhere on the web. I want to make one myself some day.
No, I have nothing to do with this other then doing a review. And I must say I admire your positiveness and kindness to those who have done what you only hope to do one day. I guess that feeling that someone else has actually accomplished something that you only wish you could burns a painful hole in your cold heart. I have nothing more to say to you on this very cool product.
Oh…it was yalfe…“yet another lymen filament extruder” that I was thinking of.
Cold heart, @Kas_L ?
@NathanielStenzel Looks like I may have miss understood your previous comment. If so I apologize.
@Kas_L ah. Maybe I should have said “YAFE (Yet Another Filament Extruder)”. That would have fixed the lack of clarity. Spoken and written languages are fuzzy but they are all we have.
