Abstract
An extruder nozzle includes a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end includes a proximal cross-section. The distal end includes a distal cross-section. The proximal cross-section is different from the distal cross-section. 3D printable material is configured to flow through the extruder nozzle from the proximal end to the distal end, such that the extruder nozzle deposits a layer of 3D printable material on top of a prior layer of 3D printable material.
