== Schedule Progression ==
* 2013/11/22 - Starting experiments :).
* 2013/11/27 - Measure the temperature we can have with the current setup. Are there other ways to use the nichrome wire (on the extrusion head/on the tube/both) ? Also start experiments for the part that will transform HDPE into pellets (shattering vs melting i.e.). What's the best way to have both parts (recycling and filament making) in the same machine ? Also: plans, plans, plans - use a paper shredder to break used and new plastic into small bits.
* 2014/01/17 - Added a metal top on the end with a 3mm brass extrusion nozzle soldered to it. Next step is adding motorisation and automatisation (i.e. temperature regulation)
