Hi everyone,
This is the paste extruder I designed for flyingbear tornado.
Syringue:

Ball screw:

Bearing: extracted from ball screw kit

Linear bearing (4 parts needed):

Stepper motor:

Note: in order to keep same firmware for both filament and past extruder I trick filament diameter. Indeed, a parameter from firmware set the length extruded per step motor. This parameter should change depending on the changing of extruder.
This tricking is simple: putting a corrected diameter of filament in cura (different than syringue inside diameter) in orderto correct extruder "wrong" parameter.
I hope you get it.
This calculation is in calculation file included. Please confirm my calculation.
I will put more details on summary soon...
