Hello @shiad
You can easily extrude 20m wide rods with no problem, but forget about 200m, that’s simply out of the possibilities of the precious plastic extruder.
For a 200mm x 1m rod, what I would do is to find round steel tube with the dimensions you need, then attach several wide heating bands around the tube, and pour shredded plastic inside. The tube will act as a furnace melting all the shredded plastic, then you can let it cooldown and you will have a wide round solid tube of plastic.
