Abstract

The primary aim of this project is to build a DIY filament extruder. The filament needs to be compatible with FDM 3D printers. The filament required has a diameter of l .75mm. The expected quality is standard filament, which should be capable of feeding into 3D printers. This extruder was designed specifically for 3D printers. Extrusion systems designed specifically for filament are expensive, and only a few manufacturers and engineers throughout the globe produce them. Even the cheapest filament extruder on the market is still costly when compared to the cost of the 3D printer. The cost of an extruder is typically two times that of a 3D printer. This research project allows users to construct a filament extruder for less than 500 Malaysian Ringgit. For people who simply require filament for any reason, the new DIY filament extruder might save a lot of money. Instead of purchasing filament, learners, researchers, and anybody else who wants to create their own filament can use this DIY extruder. This DIY extruder will be a portable equipment, making it simple to use at the office, home as well as while travelling.
