It was shelved over major pains in getting the extruder to work properly. I also wasn&rsquo;t especially fond of working with ABS plastic, which feels pretty toxic to me.</p> <p>A few weeks back I decided that my old printer, while in bad shape, was still most of a 3D-printer. I had been looking at ready-made products I could potentially buy, but I wanted the satisfaction of doing most of it for myself. I knew right-off-the-bat that I&rsquo;d be replacing the extruder as it seems clear to me vast progress has been made about that point.</p>
