Moineau Paste Extruder
Description
The Title Of This Thing Should Be "Hypocycloidal - Schmidt - Moineau Paste Extruder", But That'S A Bit Too Long! This Design Uses The Hypocycloidal Drive From These Two Things: Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:79231 And Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:81879, Couples With A Modified Version Of The Scmidt Coupling Here: Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:233667 And Builds On The Design Of The Moineau Extruder Here: Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:15538. The Result Is An Extruder Design Driven With A Nema14 Stepper Ready To Mount On Your X-Carriage And Try Out. See It In Action Here: Http://Youtu.Be/Kyuy_Wrrckw Todo: Now That I Have A Working Design, I Need To Try Putting Various Materials Through It. I Have Pumped Yogurt Just Fine, But Need To Try More Viscous (Stiffer) Materials. ** Here It Is Pumping Peanut Butter: Http://Youtu.Be/4Vttn_Az8Iu One Problem To Be Solved Is The Leakage Of Material Into The Coupling Chamber. ** Still A Problem, But Not Over-Doing The Supply Pressure Helps. Another Challenge Is Just How To Deliver The Material To The Inlet. ** Needs A Better Method, But The Tube Part Is Ok. Did I Mention That This Is A Work In Progress? Please Try It Out And Contribute The Results Of Your Experiments!
