Re: Andymark Churros

Excess material you say? Build it and see what it takes to break it! You will learn more by testing the churro extrusions to the limit than you will by using the "right" material from the start. If they fail, you can replace them with stronger shafts later.

I'm a big fan of destructive testing. It's fun and educational. Every now and then you find something that you were sure wouldn't survive, but ends up working and saving you time/money/weight.
