Casting parts

 * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWVVSZP3Au4 Lost PLA method, print part to cast out of metal at 103% to compensate for aluminium contraction.

All metal printers

 * Heated chamber, ORD bot ,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blJxz28HuQI All aluminium printer found online (ie Aluminatus TrinityOne, MendelMAX v2, Lulzbot TAZ, etc....) and then CNC machine myself most of the parts you see in this video. Design: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:468612  with 29meg of Solid works files.  File name DIY_all_aluminum_3D_Printer.zip
 * Uses SC10UU linear bearing blocks, ebay and EZstruder. Velleman printer prints(PLA) symmetrical ACME threaded rods. If a printer can't print a complete profile, cut in half with 3d slicer and glue together again. Insert rod and continually rotate to remove glue from threads. Use Plaster of paris and aluminium foundry to cast rod.

You get a really precise description for our extruder here: http://wiki.stoutwind.de/doku.php?id=stoutwinds-rampage-universal-single-extruder. The extruder development and creation of the description/build information took several weeks and more than 300 hours (including research, development, sorting, photo shooting, rendering, texting, validating, ...) . It's build from ground up, inspired by Greg's wade reloaded extruder and many other.
