[airtripper] primarily uses a Bowden extruder, and wanted to be a little more scientific in his 3D printing efforts. So he purchased a force sensor off eBay and modified his extruder design to fit it.
3D printers can be hacked into a multitude ... So far, the list of tools available for fitting includes an MK8 extruder, a E3D v6 hotend (for Bowden extrusion), a laser, a micrometer dial ...
Next, Schone worked through several extruder iterations, focusing on reliable output for 3D printing. ‘Heat creep’ was ...
