Getting into plastic extrusion usually means choosing an extruder screw first. If you're shopping for plastics rubber processing machinery for a 3D filament side project or a small-batch processing bench, the key questions are simple: how much material do you want to push per hour, and how much of the drive side are you willing to assemble yourself? These four single-screw machines cover that decision space, with listed prices spanning a wide range.
Quick take
- The 3D Filament Single Screw Extruder is the lowest-priced entry point at $227.99.
- The TECHTONGDA Single Screw Extruder of 3D Printing Consumables is the highest-priced unit at $2,665.38.
- The TECHTONGDA Single Screw Extruder Plastic Extrusion Processing Machine Speed Adjustable sits between them at $1,999.50.
- The small Plastic Extrusion Machine is listed at $424.99.

Product notes
Plastic Extrusion Machine 3D Printing Consumable Plastic Extrusion Machine
Listed as a small extruder, this machine pairs a 16mm screw with 400W heating power, a 2.5mm nozzle diameter, and a 2kg extrusion capacity. It is a bench-sized option for small filament runs or powder-style experiments, with an overall listed size of 75x30x55cm and a 16kg product weight. The main limit is the output ceiling: at 2kg, it is built for small-batch work rather than continuous extrusion. The listed option is the Large-sized screw kit JR2 color choice, so that is the configuration under consideration.
Single Screw Extruder of 3D Printing Consumables Plastic Extrusion Machine 110V
TECHTONGDA's 110V single screw extruder lists an adjustable speed of 0-25 r/min and an output range of 0.1 to 5kg/h. The 13:1 L/D ratio and stainless steel funnel are part of the package, and the listed materials include PEEK, PCL, ABS, PLA, PETG, TPU, and TPE. It is intended as the extruder core of a fuller processing line, so molds, cooling, hauling, winding, or cutting equipment would still be needed to finish products. If you are planning a dedicated filament production setup and want the highest listed output among these four, this is the machine to watch.
3D Filament Single Screw Extruder 110V/220V Plastic Extrusion Processing Machine
This 3D filament extruder uses 200W ceramic heating coils, an aluminum alloy heat sink, and a 45-gauge steel screw. It ships with a 2.5mm nozzle by default, and a 1.75mm nozzle is listed as a separate purchase. The important limitation is that the motor is not included, so you need to supply your own drive source. That makes it a practical experimental head for labs and small-batch testing rather than a ready-to-run machine, especially if you already have part of the drive side built.
Single Screw Extruder Plastic Extrusion Processing Machine 110V Speed Adjustable
This TECHTONGDA model combines a 1-inch screw with a 16:1 L/D ratio, a 250W motor, and 400W heating power. Speed adjusts from 0-25 r/min, and the listed output is 0.1 to 2kg/h, with a 300mm work center level. Because the motor is included in the package, it is a self-contained bench option for small-batch filament or plastic processing. The limit is the output figure: the 2kg/h maximum keeps it in small-batch territory, not high-volume production. The listed color is White.
Final recommendation by use case
If you already have a drive source, the 3D Filament Single Screw Extruder is the most minimal way to start. If you want a self-contained bench machine with speed control, choose the TECHTONGDA Speed Adjustable version. If continuous production is the priority, the TECHTONGDA 3D Printing Consumables extruder is the one to watch. And if your work is truly small and occasional, the Plastic Extrusion Machine is enough to get going.
