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]
