That’s really interesting! How do you go about cleaning and drying the crunched shavings?
Hello, thanks for the questions, Yes you can mix materials as long as you follow any manufacture guidelines when doing so. Also because of the CRUNCHER’S ability to produce more evenly created material, the mixture ratios will be more precise.
Hello ,
Thanks for checking out the Cruncher. You are correct that the material should be clean and dry for best results. There are several methods on the internet tha discuss drying and de-humidifying the material before you extrude it

We met our Kickstarter Goal, Thank you all for the support!!! Now for the newly announced stretch goal rewards… You asked for the chute to be larger and we listened. If Extrusionbot can reach a stretch goal of $25K on KS, all backers will receive a larger 4x6 Feeding Chute on their cruncher. This will allow for larger failed prints to #recycle and reuse.
