filament
It is also known as the ink of a 3D printer. The filament used is either ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) or PLA (Polylactictext acid). It needs to be heated above 200 degree celsius to melt and create strong layers so that it can be printed on an enclosed, heated plate.
layer cooling fan
it is used cool down the plastic immediately after it has deposited by the nozzle. It helps the object to hold its shape
extruder
it is a place where the plastic gets drawn in, melted and pushed out. It consists of the hot end and cold end. The cold end draws the filament in and pushes it through. The hot end melts the filament before it is forced through the print nozzle and placed on the print bed. The extruder is also called the print head of the 3D printer.
