Machine element representing an extruder on a fused filament fabrication (FFF) machine. A machine can have multiple extruders and thus multiple ExtruderMachineElement elements.
| Name | Description |
| classType |
Static function that all classes support that returns the type of the class as a string. The returned string matches the string returned by the objectType property. For example if you have a reference to an object and you want to check if it's a SketchLine you can use myObject.objectType == fusion.SketchLine.classType(). |
| deleteMe |
Delete this extruder element from the machine. Throws an exception when trying to delete the last remaining element. |
| staticTypeId |
Identifying name for all elements of this type. Pass this to the itemByType or itemById methods of MachineElements to filter to elements of this type. |
| Name | Description |
| elementId | Identifier for this element. Unique within an element type. |
| filamentDiameter | Filament diameter of this extruder in cm. |
| isFanAvailable | Flag indicating if a fan, whose speed is settable in the post, is available. |
| isValid | Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference. |
| name | Name of this extruder. Depending on the post, this may be output in the resulting gcode as a comment. |
| nozzleDiameter | Nozzle diameter of this extruder in cm. |
| objectType | This property is supported by all objects in the API and returns a string that contains the full name (namespace::objecttype) describing the type of the object. It's often useful to use this in combination with the classType method to see if an object is a certain type. For example: if obj.objectType == adsk.core.Point3D.classType(): |
| offset | Offset relative to the main extruder. The first extruder has an index of 0 and usually an offset of (0,0,0). |
| temperature | The maximum temperature this extruder can reach in degrees C. |
| typeId | Identifier for this type of machine element. |
| volumePerSecond | The maximum volume output measured in cm^3/s. |
