Teardown - MakerBot Extruder

My boss gave me an old extruder that he had replaced after the PLA jammed up the dispenser. Wasn't much to it, just a cool little gear to feed the PLA through to the heater element. The circuit had a slot for some strain relief, which seems unnecessary but it is a nice touch. The 4 circular magnets were pretty cool too, to make sure that the pins line up with attaching the extruder to the printer.
