The CERA-1 Clay Extruder is now Open-Source, and lives here on OpenProjects.

After more than three years of research, the extruder has been tested and proven to be an effective solution to 3D printing with clay.

Stay tuned for updates to this project, including instructions, tutorials, and a complimentary Open-Source CERA-1 3D Printer framework (currently in development).
