He announced some possible interesting future implementations of this type of extruder:
- Heated syringe (chocolate and human cells??)
- Printable files to convert to dual chamber syringe with quick drying silicone and a mixer nozzle (off the shelf stuff)
- quick setting UV resin paste with light on the end of the tip
conversion to a Bowden type setup so the extruder can sit on the table getting all that mass off the printer- a sister extruder that will push moist clay through a bigger hose for big clay prints ready to fire
- large pneumatically assisted reservoir for longer/bigger prints feeding a screw drive print head
- new material mixes for sturdier paste and firmer clay to support the weight of the print (cellulose, etc)
- metal construction to get rid of laser cut wood
- dabble in concrete then scale it up
- -ugar paste for edible goodies
- shortbread cookie recipes for cookie paste
- pancakes, anyone?
- 3d jello art
- crazy ideas from the community welcomed here!!
