RepRap Hacking

I had a great idea for a new, drastically simplified extruder design for RepRap. I decided to spend a day on it, and if it proved fruitful, then I’d pursue it more. Thank god for the laser cutter at NYCR, because I had a working prototype made up in an hour. After that, it was fairly simple to design a nice layered housing for it and make it into a reliable little beast.

There is a much more detailed post on the RepRap blog, you can look at my flickr set, or check out the design on Thingiverse.
