This is a 3D printable syringe pump extruder for modifying a 3D printer to work with fluids, gels, or other "softer" materials.
See this article for an example of a published method involving this extruder:

The assembly process is the same as for the Replistruder V2 - please see this youtube account for access to those videos:

Instructions on using this:
1. Print it, get the parts mentioned in the youtube videos - screws, syringe, etc.
2. Assemble it.
3. Mount it in place of the plastic extruder on your 3D printer of choice (see the youtube account)
4. Modify settings (see youtube account)
5. PRINT GELS!
Technical
PLA, ABS, & PET work great for this. Print at a high infill % to make it as stiff as possible.
Hakan,
