Is there a CLAY extruder that can easily be attached to the i3?

I have looked around the internet and seen that there are some extruders that exist that use a plunger sort of mechanism that can print with materials like Clay. Is there one that works with the i3 mk3?

If possible I would like one that's not too time-consuming to put on so I can occasionally print with it but most of the time print in plastic.

Thanks!

Never heard of one. Could it be done? I don't see why not, but given the lack of interest, I would assume you would have to do everything, such as design the extruder code, and new STL files for mounting the new style of extruder.

So, yeah, sorry, not the answer you wanted. ;(

You would be better off building one from scratch based on someone else's design, in terms of YOUR time invested.
