3D Printer Filament Extruder – FilaStruder
3D printers use “ink” that consists of spools of plastic filament. Pre-made spools can be costly at $35-$50 per spool. With a filament extruder, Wayne College can make its own filament using inexpensive plastic pellets at a tenth the cost of pre-made spools. The extruder can also recycle plastic objects from failed print jobs instead of plastic going into landfills.
