yes, it is possible and kinda great idea

You'd use a method that doesn't come in contact with the filament, right? What type of sensor would you use for that?

@@JaceN3DUse something that can roll with the filament after its cooled maybe. The machines I used to work on automated mail opening. It used a magnetic field effect sensor to gauge the distance that two rubber rollers were spread apart by the envelopes going through it. It was EXTREMELY accurate after being calibrated.

thank you so much

It was!

Thank you

Great!!!

Thank you so much

thank you so much

Thank you!

Thank you so much. if you need any help in your project feel free to ask. once again thank you

To be clear, great job!

Thank you so much

Yes you're right, I did that after few trials

Pretty Sure it will, Best of Luck

eh recopilado los materiales para comprarlos la mayoría en Amazon lo único que no encuentro es 420mm 25mm Inner diameter barrel y Mi pregunta es la heater to heat the barrel es de una impresora 3d y de acero inoxidable?

I have compiled the materials to buy most of them on Amazon the only thing I can't find is 420mm 25mm Inner diameter barrel and My question is the heater to heat the barrel is it from a 3D printer and is it made of stainless steel?

@@bydanielgamerv3890I’m asking the same thing also,I want to know diameter of barrel and the extruder diameter

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you found my video helpful in your own filament machine project. Best of luck with your build!

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you so much

Yeah Process is Simple But getting good quality Filament takes few attempts but anyways thanks for the compliment 👍

If you are using PET bottles then in that case I would recommend the first method, cutting down the plastic bottle into strips than reshaping them into a filament because it is much more easier to do and the second method that you saw in this video is actually more for making filament from pellets and for impurities you should wash the bottle thoroughly then cut it.

I watched a lot of videos on reshaping plastic bottles and turning them into printing filaments, and I found that in most cases the bottom and top of the bottle are discarded, and since a regular water bottle weighs about 45 grams of plastic, I find that I will only get 20 grams of strips suitable for reshaping. Also, I cannot cut bottle caps and other similar types of plastic around us that cannot be cut into strips for reshaping. So I thought I would chop these bottles and turn them into small pieces that would be extruded. What do you think? Your opinion matters a lot to me and it will save me time. Thank you@@Creative3DP

Thank you so much mate

In my opinion PET machine is better for Creating filament From Water Bottle. But you can try to make bottle Filament through it

🤣. Hopefully cops won't notice. Thats possible, using some sort of measuring device like you mentioned laser micrometre, but in this machine everything is manual so you have to use raspberry pie or Arduino with stepper motor control board and high torque stepper motors

Thanks man, pellets cost almost 50% of what filament cost

@@Creative3DP and the other 50% or more you pay in electricity for the heater

Totally. I want to do the same thing

@@luless666 assuming a 500 watt power supply is used for such project and its running at 100% usage, its still less than 1 USD if you run it 6 hours

​@@luless666 Electricity is free for me as long as the sun shines.

Congratulations on your new Ender 3v2 3D printer! It's a great choice for beginners and a perfect way to start your 3D printing journey. Regarding your question about the barrel length, if you choose a shorter barrel of 200mm, it may result in clogging issues due to the heat spreading across the barrel. So, it's recommended to go with a longer barrel of 400mm to avoid this problem. Given that you're starting your 3D printing journey, it may be helpful to learn more about the factors that affect 3D printing and filament quality. I speak from personal experience, as I started my 3D printing journey by building my own printer from scratch, but unfortunately, it didn't go well, and my project failed. Therefore, taking the time to learn and research before starting a project can save time, effort, and resources in the long run.

@@Creative3DP hey man! Might be a dumb question, but if we were to cool the first portion of the barrel with a few fans, would that work? Kind of how in 3D printers your cold-end heatsink is kept cool by a fan; only here we would use multiple fans to be able to cool the bigger area

Actually its custom made, I asked the supplier to make me a heater that can reach 300 degrees Celsius and has a specific outer diameter for the barrel,

PLA granules I don't remember the grade number

Noo max it can reach is 110 degree

@@Creative3DP is this ceramic heater " 3D Printer Cartridge Heater Reprap 12V 40W" Can it withstand a temperature of 400 degrees Celsius or what is the estimated temperature that it can withstand?

To set up the system, you'll need three main components: the REX c100, a thermistor, and an SSR. The video link provided in the description will guide you through the wiring process. Here's how it all works in a nutshell: The SSR plays a pivotal role by interrupting the 220v power supply to the heater. As soon as the heater reaches the desired temperature, it works to maintain that temperature. The REX c100 comes into play here, allowing you to set the desired temperature and giving you control over the process. Meanwhile, the thermistor constantly measures the temperature and sends this information to the REX c100. Once the REX c100 detects that the desired temperature has been reached, it takes action to halt the DC supply from its side. This leads to a complete interruption in the power flow circuit. When the temperature decreases, the REX c100 resumes sending power from its end once more.

Yes you can, I saw many projects online who're Using wiper motor

I already mentioned parts in video

@Creative3DP ok thank u.

It has like 5 parts. Grab a note pad and a pen. Do you want everything handed to you?

😂😂😂. He didn't died, he ran away

Have you tried this? I think that could be a great idea, especially because I'm not sure where to buy the screw and barrel 👍🏾

I used 22mm outer diameter and 8mm inner diameter bearings and I used 3mm dill bit for nozzle

​@@Creative3DP you are talking about the bearings used in the pipe of extruder?

@@meagodoy no I didn't any bearings in pipe, I was talking about bearing in filament puller

Great! Best of Luck, Auger is 20mm in diameter and 400mm in length

It appears that you're describing a filament extruder system, where PLA pellets are melted and extruded through a 1.75mm nozzle. However, if you plan to integrate this extrusion system directly onto a 3D printer, it may work better for larger printers that print with larger nozzle sizes. For normal desktop 3D printers, it may not be worth the effort as the quality may not be optimal.

@@Creative3DP what quality, you remelt the extruded filament straight away, of course it will be beneficial, melt-extruded or just compression-extruded

@@Creative3DP biased assessment, for your own benefit

@@Creative3DP money bias shows, as you want to pay for your filament or instruct to use pre-made filament, from manufacturers, for nonsense reasons

@@Creative3DP I'm not asking you if you think its fine, not giving any authority to anyone, use it or lose it, take care

I sourced PLA Pellets from Local Trader who Trades in Plastic Granules

Sure I will attach the links soon

If you can't be bothered to do any work you are unlikely to build it.

​@jerbear7952 yeah I'll just reach into the video and get the size measurements of everything on my own.

Heat doesn't reach that point.

Well, this is a DIY project. If you need the parts used in this project, you can contact me by email.

Really need this

You can shred the plastic bottle and put it in this but I would say PET Extrusion systems is much better to make Filament from plastic bottle

If you mean creating filament extrusion system from ender 3's parts, i don't think that would be possible cause the ender 3's parts are rarely in use for this machine as the parts of this machine are different.

Why don't you do it?

yes

@@Creative3DP thanks

Can u put the link in the description?

Bro need help plz rply me ASAP POSSIBLE

Yes but fans are enough

Grab a pencil and a piece of paper. Quit being lazy

😂😂

Sure, Both of the things I sourced locally, you can easily get the barrel in your nearest hardware store but heater might be hard to find

I search .... Entire town but not found a heater

Can you give me specifications and idea for heater.... and link which I am easily find

Also please share the other electronic details...or links...

Front part of the barrel is hot and the auger feed the pellets which melts and comes out through the nozzle.

No settings are changed because this Home made PLA Filament is kinda same as factory produce. So, I printed with normal setting which I use for Factory made PLA

@@Creative3DP THANK YOU VERY MUCH,I WISH YOU ALL GOOD!

There are PET Machines which turn plastic bottles into strips then to Filament. You can watch my PET Machine video. Super easy to make

@@Creative3DP what about the heater any specifications ?

I bought from one of the manufacturer from indiamart
