I have got a materia; I would like to make some filament from to test some printing characterisics.
Does anybody know where can I find a filament extrusion service or extrusion machine that is able to perform the extrusion of a couple of meters of material?
Thank you.
Not a trivial build but http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-your-own-3d-printing-filament-factory-Filame/
Thanks John.
I have been looking at the build.
Would not like to do it for a couple of meters of filament but will if I have to.
… a couple METERS? Nobody is going to make only a couple meters of an oddball material. You can’t get the extrusion process conditions (temp, screw speed, draw-off rate, etc) figured out for a new blend that fast. A 1kg spool is a few hundred meters.
My guess is that your best bet is to find someone with a filastruder willing to experiment a bit if you send pellets.
