The temperature in the hot end must be measured and stabilized.
'''Extruder Nozzle'''<br/><br/>[[File:ExtruderNozzle.png|none|link=|none]]
There are many third party extruders on the market. Search for popular 3D printer extruders, for example: [https://reprapchampion.com/collections/extruders https://reprapchampion.com/collections/extruders].
'''Heated Bed'''<br/><br/>[[File:HeatedBed.png|none|link=|none]]<br/><br/>
A heated bed is often used to help with both the first layers to adhere to the build platform as well as to keep the part warm to reduce shrinkage and curl.
Controls feeding the material into the hot end.

<br data-attributes="/"> KNozz provides two Thermistor Inputs to allow KFLOP to monitor the temperature of both the Extruder Nozzle and Bed Heater Platform. 12-bit ADC converter provides better than 1 degree C temperature repeatability.
<br/> 6 Axes Cable Robot (Geppetto) controlled by Dynomotion KFLOP 3D Prints parts. Extrusion Head added to Geppetto End Effector. Demonstrates 7 axes of coordinated motion and kinematics.
