Just been working on a circuit for the heating component of the extruder with help from Tiago.
Jamie and I bought a couple of things from Jaycar and will grab a couple more things tomorrow.
The best material to make the barrel out of is brass but we need some kind of heat insulator between the barrel and the electronics. Apparently wood is good. Its easier to explain it in person some other time though.
Oh yeah the reason we need to make a new heating element circuit is because the hair straightener uses 240v so it’s a bit excessive. 12v is much more manageable.
