During the 2024 timelab summercamp, the large Mikaki machine was converted to a Duet-controller and fitted with modified clay-extruders to experiment with different water-based mixtures.
The extruders used were modified versions of the published extruders from:
-Eduardo Charmorro: https://github.com/EDUARDOCHAMORRO/FabricatableTools
-Pjotr Wasniowski: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4805607
The final material used was a white cellulose/methylcellulose/sodium alginate mixture.
To deal with warping, a per-layer drying strategy was implemented.
