The Claystruder is a device that replaces the plastic extruder with an compressed air syringe extruder which is capable of extruding high viscosity materials like clay or cement. The design is based on the original Claystruder by the design studio unfold from Belgium which in turn is based on the Frostruder MK2. Our design takes a 100cc Braun Omnifix syringe which is in stock at local pharmacies for ca. 2.50€ per piece.
