Sculpey Extruder and flattener?

Hello fellow sculpt addicts

Does anyone have a better extruder that this one?



Wholy Hand Strength, this one crushes me when trying to move SSfirm through it, no leverage in this design at all

so I am interested in the professional Pasta machine alternatives for wide flat sheet making and a quality extruder that have a lever system not a straight piston

please share

The Makin version:

Walnut Hollow makes one similar to the Makin version, only it has a hinged handle:

Thanks for bringing this up I forgot about my pasta maker and extruder, trying to make some of the things by hand can be a pain

Oh and I bought the cheaper pasta maker and then the amaco machine and what a difference the quality and strength is much better on the pricier one.
