This is a playdoh MegaExtruder that uses an auger to push the dough through the shape templates. It features a kid friendly crank that is geared down to help make it easier to turn. The gearing is external and oversized to make it more fun for kids to watch. The shoot to feed in playdough is just like a food processor with a feed tube and a plunger. The assembly utilizes magnets to allow for quick and easy dis-assembly There are 10 included extrusion templates from the classic spaghetti to a ballerina dancer!
I have included a list of parts, some tips on printing, and basic assembly instructions in the README included with the file downloads. I have also included a .STEP file with the entire assembly in it so that people can modify and tweak! Please feel free to modify and release your own versions of this, just make sure to link back to the original and propagate the appropriate license.
I designed this and printed one for my nephew for an xmas present and he still loves playing with it!
EDIT: ---------
I have included a V2 of the Crank to make it easier to print. It is 3 parts now, the gear, the handle, and the knob. I added the ability to attach the knob with an m2 machine screw through a 3mm ID, 7mm OD by 3mm thick bearing. In case you don't care to use a bearing I included a model for a thick washer to replace the bearing (CrankV2BearingSub).
Disclaimer: This toy can be dangerous due to the hazards of the auger based extrusion and various other moving parts. I have taken some steps to minimize the risk of injury, but I am not responsible if any injuries occur from the use of this toy. Use at your own risk, and never leave kids unattended while they are using it.
