A fun and productive day at @cammakespace yesterday. Got the @ProjectFabMX extruder mounted to something that's starting to look like a printer... metal! 🤘 Lots of bugs found 🐛, some squashed, some turned to chrysalis awaiting more fervent attention 🦋

I received a nice surprise in the post today, the parts for the @ProjectFabMX extruder and a little bit of PolyMIM to play with! Thanks FabMX you can be sure we'll put this to good use at @cammakespace and I look forward to showing you a fully assembled extruder very soon 🚀

I persisted with #FreeCAD and now I am starting to get it! Started mocking up my idea for a @ProjectFabMX printer - take a @VoronDesign 2.4 frame, mount a bunch of Annex K3 thingys to it, and use them to sling a @Prusa3D Mini bed 🙃 Thanks for the tips @concreted0g!

You like printing steel, right? 🤓🛠️ This is one of the most exciting DIY projects right now. @cammakespace can you spare a little corner to give this hardware a home at Christmas time? 🥺 (oh, and lets have a filament recycling setup while we are at it... 💸)
We have released version 3.1 of our pellet extruder for MIM feedstock! See details on our wiki: wiki.fablab-muenchen.de/disp…

And we are looking for beta testers! We will be able to provide barrel, extruder screw and laser cut metal cage for around 150 Euros (plus taxes, shipping, and if outside EU, possibly customs fees). These are the most important parts on the BOM (see link above).

You add a NEMA23+gearbox and some smaller parts, and you have a working extruder! Anyone interested? Please join our discord to discuss the details. See fabmx.org/ for discord link.

Testing CMG 316L MIM feedstock. Works nicely, already at 120°C 👍

Does anyone know of publicly available research/papers/publications/studies about the effect of 3D printer nozzle geometry?

This is what people quietly changing the world look like. DIY metal printing. Those parts are *steel* and quality is excellent. Looking like TCO <£25K for the printer and sintering oven, and the material costs only a bit more than an ABS spool weight-for-weight. Godspeed #SMRRF🫡
Day 2 at #SMRRF. Drop by if you're there!
