New Extruder Project for (new?) 3D Printer
I like my 3D printer, but there are a lot of things I’ve decided I want to change about it since I built it a couple of years ago. One of the things I want to change is the style of extruder I’m using. I’m currently using a Wade’s style extruder, they’re kind of large […]
