Anybody had a go? 

I realised yesterday that I have all the stuff lying (spare noosle and Ramps board) around needed for a 'pullstrusion' setup and so far have managed to 'pull' some promising looking filament. First attempt at printing with it wasn't great but it was really just a guess at the settings required. No crystalising, just more part cooling required I think.

note: I'm doing this becuase it's interesting to see what can be achieved, not because I think it's a substitute for commerical filament.
