Almost perfect loop.

3

it look as a direct “pellet” 3d printer :wink:
what is used in the mixture ?

4

Easy - extruding glass at a mere 1000°C…!

That should warm up my office very nicely :wink:

5

It looks to be gravity feed only. No mechanism for stopping the glass flow. Only temperature control on the crucible to change flow rate. Nice output tough.

6

So no retraction? :wink:

7

@Adam_Steinmark Mebbe if you pulled a vacuum on the crucible…

@Mark_Fuller I feel like that would just clog it.
