Discov3ry Paste Extruder - The Universal Paste extruder for Desktop FDM 3D Printers, Print with Silicone, Clay, Food, and Many More

It has potential, but I've never been able to use it, since they don't have documentation for how to hook it up. I asked in the forums and tried hooking it up, but it won't spin. I have no idea if this is a problem with the machine or the configuration, and neither do they. So, make sure they have specific documentation for your printer/controller before buying.

I love my Discov3ry and have for a long time. I was one of the beta backers for the Kickstarter campaign that launched the product. From the very first units this product has delivered on its promises. I work with kids in a mobile science and technology lab teaching STEM based projects and demoing this is always a huge hit. Printing in edible pastes and experimenting with new materials (like Glitter Glue!) gets the kids excited about the future even when 3D printing is becoming passe. Working with materials like silicone gets me excited about my maker projects (both personal and professional) and shopping for "filament" at the hardware store is great for my budget.If you have a supported 3D printer, then this extruder is a must-have add-on. By not interfering with your hot-end or plastic material path, the design of this unit enables an easy swap-in/out when needed. I haven't tried pairing this as a second print head with my plastic hot end, but I may one day.Installed on my Type-A Machines 2014 printer in minutes. Want more? Contact me through TinkerTruck.ca. I'm happy to share more about the Discov3ry with other enthusiasts!
