Thanks 😀

That is a genius of simplification. This is the best approach for prototypes. I try doing the same in my projects. Do as simple as possible and don't destroy existing tools for my trial project

@@dsheshin Thanks 😀

​@@lets_makecould you send link to this mechanism

Some parts is printed from bottle 😀

@@lets_make I think he means that he thinks it would be funny if after having done all that work to make 3d printing filament out of plastic bottles, that you'd end up 3d printing a bottle lol

Would that be considered "bottleception"?

The funny part is with cura vase mode, one probably can! lol

😅

Thanks 😀😀

Thanks man 😀

@@lets_make im gonna try to replicate your setup do you have any advise for me? like for example do you know the gear ratio you used?

@@Senbino1998 Gears you can find there www.thingiverse.com/thing:5200645 , try to use 60w glue gun or 100w

20w silikon tabancası olmaz mı?

About 10-12 meters, yet not found way to join, he break on joint

I think you can do the filament fuser technique using the ptfe tube and a heat gun

I try it, but breaks when pull..

@@lets_make Instead on a single piece being pulled I wonder if pulling on multiple smaller pieces at the same time would work. So instead of one 10mm wide piece of tape what about three 3mm pieces pulled through at once? If one is shorter than the other 2 you MIGHT be able to add a new one in if they are twisted together (like rope) just before they are pulled into the heater causing all 3 to be fused together into 1 filament. This way you could, in theory, keep feeding shorter pieces in and having a single, long piece coming out. This is something I have been thinking about for a while now and I'm slowly getting all the pieces together. My goal is slightly different in that I want to do it ALL with stuff I already have laying around and not have to buy a single item to do this, The one part holding me back is the puller motor. I know I have an old 12V cordless drill around somewhere that has a very high torque/low speed setting that should work perfectly but I just cannot remember where I put it. Once I find it I should be good to go and will start testing my plan out.

I tried with two parts and it doesn't work, the material separates, it's quite fragile to join, maybe with a higher temperature...

Welcome! 😀

Thank you very much😃, yes the nozzle is variable, I made it with a 1.5mm drill, you can try if you find 1.55, 1.60 but not more because the filament expands when it comes out of the nozzle

@Let's make Right, I'll keep that in mind; the interchangeable nozzle design should allow easy experimentation with nozzle sizes. Also, one more question: what is the width of the strips you cut out from the bottles? I imagine different widths may yield different results both for filament diameter and the "dead space" in the middle of the folded ends.

@@Arbiter1223 About 10 mm depends on the thickness of the bottle, you have to be guided by feeling

I will record video how to make

Great go ahead, Thank you 😃

hey i tried this same project but when i pull the plastic it turns out folded but not combined. how long did you heat up your glue gun for?

Round 220°C

Thanks 😃

Thanks 😀

I didn't find a solution for connecting the material, it's shooting, you have a lot of videos on KZfaq how to set up pet materials settings.

gears www.thingiverse.com/thing:5200645 glue gun :www.aliexpress.com/item/32812813712.html the temperature is at the maximum 100w of the glue gun the rotation speed you set yourself depends on your drill

@@lets_make ok, thanks a lot for all these informations. It will help me, that's what I look for, for making pet filament by myself. A simple method. Thanks again, wish you the best

Hi, he does not melt the filament but bends it with a small gap

no

@@lets_make interesting… is there another guide for your glue gun then? Since I don’t think mine would be capable of making 3d printer filament

@@Oppteekap www.aliexpress.com/item/32812813712.html

No

Thanks 😀

what is the width of the tape when you cut the bottle?

@@lets_make I think about a centimetre. I tried it at around 10 min heating time at 220 degrees celsius and it worked better, but the filament didn't fully combine in a loop, only some parts were bonded most were just folded.

Thanks 😀

Pullstruder 210C, extruder 255-260C

Diametar is 1.55mm

Bay with reductor with small rpm

Treded road m12

No

instead of the nozzle, a piece of threaded rod m10 drilled with a 1.5mm drill bit.

@@lets_make thanks! I'll be trying this myself soon

@@timfalken3886 you're welcome 😀

@@lets_make So the filament expands when it cools or do you have to set the printer to over extrude 16%?

@@Dan-su5ep It is expanded, you have to set the slicer diameter to 1.65

Thanks, M5 treaded rod here is part for drill use small gear: www.thingiverse.com/thing:1647797

Try 😀

Maybe, but in this way is much increase power.

by drilling with a 1.5mm drill bit

100w, about 9mm-10mm-11mm depend of thickness nozzle is m12 this week will put video about how make nozzle Thanks 😀

Yes, www.thingiverse.com/thing:5200645

Maybe, when you use 1.5 filament as it comes out of the nozzle it widens a bit around 1.55mm 1.60mm just increase the flow while printing

@@lets_make ok will try

For thicker bottles you must calibrate bottle cutter 11,12,13mm height.

Not tested on 3D pen yet..

Температуры клеевого пистолета хватит только на размягчение PET, 3D ручка из него не получится. Однако, с PLA может сработать. Проталкивать надо будет вручную (либо колхозить механизм подачи из электродвигателя и прижимных роликов)

No..
