I built an INSANE Custom Extruder and it almost broke me | SDTX Extruder for my Delta 3D Printer

Sometimes carrying an idea to its ultimate conclusion requires the ultimate challenge ... but will it deliver the ultimate results? A crazy weight target, a pile of tiny carbon fiber bits, and a design so smart it's actually stupid: what could go wrong? Follow along as I design and try to build the most insane flying extruder ever seen (and I don't use "insane" lightly - disagree if you dare) and find out!
