I'm a big fan. I must say, I did some machine to make pet bottle filament myself. But I never had a differential gear in mind. Congratulations my friend! You're a very creative person and technically gifted as well.

[@M.SKhan123]

Thank you for very very nice comments.

[@N4CR]

Love that you made lot of it from PET. Great design.

[@M.SKhan123]

Thank you! 😊

Hi, how are you? The first thing I have to tell you is congratulations for the excellent work, the best I saw on the internet, I have a couple of questions to ask you: 1. I have a DRV8825 driver, can I use them instead of the A4988 driver? 2. I have a nema 17, can I use it instead of the nema 23 by modifying the parts? 3. Finally, I read in a comment that you said that you are about to finish another machine, when do you think you will have it ready? to see if I do this or wait. thank you so much

[@M.SKhan123]

Thanks for your comments, you can use any other driver and also Nema 17 but for better torque, Nema 23 is best.

Very nice! Is the machine itself printed from recycled PET? It looks like it may be!

[@M.SKhan123]

Yes you are right.

[@RohitGangwar007]

Great work🎉 Couod you plz let me know From where I can buy all the components apart from 3d printed parts

[@M.SKhan123]

You can buy parts at local hardware stores, auto stores, and online stores in your country.

[@paleopteryx]

Hi (again). Did you upload the design for the bottle cutting side somewhere too (the knife holder and the bottle cap with ball bearings...)? Because those parts are not included in the link from this video :( Also, from the main assembly, there are two gears missing (the small ones, with 10 teeth, that drive the spools on both sides).

[@M.SKhan123]

Those two missing parts have been added. Also, there is a new and better video for bottle cutting. Please watch it.

[@someadvids5655]

Hi, im just wondering have you got any assembly instructions or a BOM? (bill of materials) please?

Hey, this does get the job done- but, wouldn't you get a load more material / consistency as to just shred all plastics and extrude them?

[@M.SKhan123]

OK, I liked your suggestion and I will try. Thanks.

How is it possible to 3-D print with a Prusa Mini?

hi this is an epic build, but how, where and what parts do you get (i mean metal parts and circits)

[@M.SKhan123]

parts can be purchased from hardware stores circuits and other files in the video description.

ciao, ho visto che questo progetto è completo rispetto agli altri, hai inserito il taglio della bottiglia in serie a tutto, stavo vedendo gli schemi elettrici degli altri progetti e ho notato che non hai inserito il taglio della bottiglia, è possibile avere lo schema elettrico e il codice di arduino con questa aggiunta? Grazie mille .... hi, I saw that this project is complete compared to the others, you inserted the bottle cut in series with everything, I was looking at the electrical diagrams of the other projects and I noticed that you didn't insert the bottle cut, is it possible to have the electrical diagram and the arduino code with this addition? thanks

I am really really sorry for the late reply. You can use an 8mm rod too only the bearing body shall be modified and I will upload the 8 mm settings today.

[@neelesh100M]

Great. How do u join the filaments ?

[@M.SKhan123]

Well, I like to prefer to pause print and load a new one.

[@rider634]

how do you control the diameter of the filament? there is any closed loop system for that?

[@M.SKhan123]

The diameter of the filament depends on 3 factors, nozzle diameter, temperature, and speed. Nozzle diameter is 1.7 mm and temperature is 200 to 215 degrees.

lo vendes? montado?

[@M.SKhan123]

Thanks for your nice comments, I will upload a video about complete assembly in 2 or 3 days.

[@paleopteryx]

Have you upload any additional videos about this? I saw nothing new :( A simple list of parts and dimensions (text format!) would have been more than enough. It would have been great to know you used some weird rods (7mm diameter???) for the differential gear, BEFORE making the parts. @@M.SKhan123

[@M.SKhan123]

@@paleopteryx Sorry for the late reply, You can use an 8mm rod with some modifications. I have uploaded a new video about cutting bottle strips, I hope You will like it too. I am building a new combo of two machines that will be awesome.

[@paleopteryx]

@@M.SKhan123 Thank you for the info! I discovered that there are also ball bearings for 8mm that have 19mm diameter (just like the ones for 7mm), I will buy some of these. But some parts I will have to modify and re-print (the differential gears) to accomodate 8mm rods. PS. in the dif_gear_body 1 & 2, one hole is a bit smaller (only 4.0mm) than the other 3 (4.5mm) - it's not a big problem, but the parts need some after-printing processing so that the M4 screw can get through.

[@M.SKhan123]

@@paleopteryxIf you like, I can send you CAD files in case you want to modify them.
