Im trying to build the extrusion machine but Im having trouble finding the right motor. I need to know its power and specifications in order to buy it.
If someone has already built the extrusion machine I would really appreciate some help and advice.
Well, industrial extrders use 1.1 – 2.2 kW motors.
A corded drill is about 550W and up.
Also it depends on what you are going to do with the extruded material, I saw some post saying that if you want to extrude filament you need a steady even speed, then it is better to use a stronger motor.
A while back a picture was posted to the main page of a corded drill being used as the extrusion motor. Corded drills are fairly cheap new if you don’t want to find one.
