Heres the latest extruding. (Friday 4th June) I got the gravity "Pulling" out of the die working really well and the material was a very consistent size when the material going into the hopper was all well sized. I also used a fan under the front of the die to increase the cooling of the material as it exits the extruder.
I tried a variety of plastics, HDPE, Milk bottle, milk lids, Plastic bags (by far the funnest to watch and do), Clear Bottle PET and White Abs
So far have tried Blue Green Orange White and Clear and a few different mixing s. Also have some yellow for the next extrude session. The spool in the bottom picture is around 2.5m.
