Interesting project. However, all I want is a reasonably priced metal 3d printer. Probably not going to happen for at least a few more years for various reasons though.

>Face it, we’ve all at some time or other looked at our hot glue guns, and thought “I wonder if I could use that for 3D printing!”. [Proper Printing] didn’t just think it, he’s made a working hot glue 3D printer. As you’d expect, it’s the extruder which forms the hack here.
