Now that I am able to produce consistent plastic strips, I get much higher quality filament as I pull it through the extruder nozzle! All I must do now is build some sort of machine that does this process automatically. Online, I have found the Recreator3D group which has developed CAD to transform an XViCO X3S into a pullstruder machine. I plan on modifying their open source CAD to work with some Artillery Hornet components that I have lying around. Hopefully, I will be able to get some test prints soon. Also, my last motor driver had a Canada jacket - that's cool!
