Mendel Reprap Extruder Types
1) Spring Head: Allows the extruder to move over ridges that blocks its path
Instructions: No
Works:Yes
Links: [1]
2) Granular Extruder: Allows the use of pellets to make parts instead of a plastic rod
Instructions: Some, not detailed
Works:Needs Improvement
Links:[2]
[3]
3) Spool Head: prints metal, only limited shapes tested
Instructions:Some, not detailed
Works: Needs more testing on other shapes
Links:[4]
Other Printer Beds
- Heated bed: design 1,
- Wooden bed: Mendel uses wooden base,entire wooden mendel, wood ratings, [
- Cast Polymer: design 1
- General ideas: different materials and their strengths
