Need a printer to print with Pellets

SCarrera · 2015-08-10T16:19:14.000Z

Hello Guys,

I’m Sergio from Nijmegen, I’m looking for a person and/or company, where I can print and test the quality of some “pellets”, and make a small piece in 3D as sample of the product. Is quite urgent, please contact me asap. I can traveling to any city in the Netherlands, hopefully not too far from Nijmegen:) Thanks

I will be interested to know if there is a printer that can use raw pellets without first converting them to filament…

Hi the only printer I know of to print from. raw pellets is the stultify David. However I don’t think they have been released yet only to their crowdfunders. http://sculptify.com/pages/david

Otherwise you would need someone with a filament extruder to make the desired plastic as well.

Hope this helps somewhat,

Hi George,

Thank you for your feedback, actually that is what I need a filament extruder, I have a samples of pellets what I would like to test, but I don’t know, where to find a extruder and printer machine.

I asked to Sculptify, but as you mentioned are not on sales yet, and I want to test the product, no interested in buying a machine so far, only want to test the quality of the product, I believe should be somewhere in the Netherlands where to test it.

Any other information would be appreciated.

Hi Sergio,

I am in Elst near Nijmegen but I am sorry I don’t have an extruder (yet).

Maybe you can build one?

Instructables

Build Your Own 3d Printer Filament Factory (Filament Extruder)

Build Your Own 3d Printer Filament Factory (Filament Extruder): Too long, didn't read: Make your own 3D printer filament ! Cheap and high quality at a decent speed of 150-190 IPM ! (4-5 meters per minute) UPDATE: Now with wiring diagram ! Long...

Or Find a FilaBot.

Or maybe 3D Hubs can lead you to one? @luukgerrits

Kind regards, Guy

Hey @SCarrera, @Jeffrey_1 might be able to help - she has both a Filabot extruder and 3D printers to help you with your print. Hope this works out!

Hi,

You may want to look at getting a extruder. Take a look at the filastruder as its quite cheap compared to others. And if you are willing to wait the strooder as its cheap and looks easy to use. But it’s still in crowd funding stages.
