Designing the Mk 1.1 AEM extruder's polymer pump

 

 

Tommelise's Mk 1 AEM extruder looks great in print, but the visual reality leaves a bit to be desired. It's basically a hack built up of a RepRap Mk 2 parts kit with pieces of wood added to accomodate a rather different polymer pump design. I'm beginning to regularise the design of the Mk 1 AEM and evolve the hacked bits into something more coherent. This slideshow shows the beginning of that process.
