Something people should understand about pasta is there are two types: "fresh" egg pasta and macaroni pasta. You can make the former at home but you can't really make the latter. The latter are made with special bronze dies and big industrial machines. Macaroni pasta is always dried, but you can dry "fresh" pasta too.
Fresh pasta and macaroni pasta are both good for different things. One doesn't replace the other.

The extruder and dye add a lot to end product and you may still be better off buying the dry pasta but it can be done. For anyone that thinks the investment is too high, you’re not wrong. But I’m a proverbial middle aged dude that “has everything”, so when birthdays and holidays come around I put expensive esoteric kitchen gadgets on my wishlists (tools in general also).
