Plastruder MK5 Released

with one comment

A few hours ago MakerBot Industries released the Plastruder MK5. I’m pleased to say that it utilizes the thumb screw design in my Paxtruder, which has proven much more reliable than the pinch wheel of the Plastruder MK4.

There are numerous other improvements, so head on over to the wiki page and learn more.

  1. Is this extruder as good as the ones found on the reprap mendel? I’m looking to buy a fully assembled mendel frame from http://www.BotMill.com, but before I do, I want to make sure.
