When I bought my Walnut Hollow brand extruder I didn’t know there was a much higher price/quality bracket option. I thought it was between the Walnut Hollow and the Makin. I chose the WH because it had the extender tip that allowed for larger discs. Later I found out the Makin has an option attachment that allows you to use a cordless drill. Handcranking the extruder was a royal PIA! Given the choices between motor powered, vs larger discs, I’m not even sure which one I’d chose now.
BUT! I loved extruding soap dough for loaves of CP! And, I hence found the next tier of fancy schmancy polymer clay extruders.
The Lucy Stainless Steel Czextruder SET
And
The ACE Hobby Extruders
Lucy, has a table mount with an attachment that connects to your cordless drill, but it’s a smaller capacity.
The ACE has a very different manual style powered plunger, but the motorized one is $450!!!! (Not for me) Maybe the manual plunger is easier to use. I love the capacity of the 2”, which also fits a 1”.
A problem with the WH was I couldn’t make one length that would fit my whole loaf without piecing them together. So both of these would remedy that, I think.
They both have a lot of disc options, but they don’t seem to be interchangeable. Could I have custom ones made?!
Has anyone used either? Anyone else in the market? Thoughts? Prayers?
