Pellet Extrusion Made Possible
For 3D Printing applications we built a Pellet Extruder with the following characteristics:
- small and lightweight
- compatible with Prusa i3 and many other 3D printers
- throughput: 30 - 300 g/h
- nozzles: 0.8 - 3 mm
- successfully tested with PLA, ABS, PC-ABS, TPU, PC, PP, HIPS
- managed by most common firmware (e.g. Marlin, Repetier, ecc.)
- uses standard *.gcode files generated by most common slicing programs (e.g. Slic3r)

Elisa and Paolo Legnani
3D printing enthusiasts since 2012, Elisa (physics student) and Paolo (Chem. Eng. with 20+ years in the plastic industry) have been busy building 3D printers and 3D Fox, an Android App to control them.
They recently embraced the challenge to build a Pellet Extruder compatible with RepRap printers and able to process a wide selection of thermoplastic materials, from PLA to Polycarbonate.
They started with a Powder Extruder and finally built a reliable Pellet Extruder that, mounted on a robotic arm, was able to print large lamps, including a 1 meter diameter one, showcased at Fuori Salone 2017 in Milan.
