I Turned Plastic Water Bottles Into 3D Printer Filament - The full journey

[@foxhyde7743]

Print a trophy for yourself but maybe it can be a plant pot too

[@AsterSkotos]

Make the trophy a 3d printed water bottle!

[@growithjessie]

ahahahaha i love that so much

[@FancysWorkshop]

I always think it's important to show the process. Too often people only show their successes. Yes...we want to root for people to succeed, but really...life isn't success followed by more success. There is a process. Thanks for showing the trials and tribulations that you had to go through in order to reach Mother of all Turtles status!

[@growithjessie]

this is the truth right here!!! Thanks for being the cousins of the turtles 😂💚🐢

[@hulkgqnissanpatrol6121]

As a maker myself of my own design I was to make my design public and due to the impatience of viewer's not understand we too have lives to live all to be abused for not making instructions clear enough or step by step was the end of my public help. The instructions are still there and I see my specific design (2 circuit without motor controller but a voltage regulator and a specifically picked non common mosfet) used in slightly different way's with my parts I designed. I'm not a KZbinr and after the abuse I decided to just sell the kit's for profit and when I see my part's I now file for copyright. All people had to do was wait as I don't have an archive of stacked video's to upload for view's and or as you put it "root for people to succeed" nore is it showboating for success. It's sometimes purely not enough time, family to raise, job's to work ect NOT hired help to film your ever move under perfect lighting with zero error for a pixel to be out of place and in 8k!

@@growithjessiei know! You can take filament for 1 time use plastic bottles and print it to a reusable bottle

[@juls8978]

This is a great video! I’m glad you didn’t give up! Also, I’m an electrical engineer, and I’m impressed you were able to figure out to flip the diode. Your hunch was correct; they only work in one direction 😊

[@growithjessie]

Thank you so much!!

[@Enjoymentboy]

Having built a bottle cutter and filament puller myself I know EXACTLY what you went through. Tip for printing: Be sure to dry your filament BERY well before hand. This stuff will have absorbed a LOT of water and will pop and spit and get cloudy unless dried. It'll also get very stringy. But, if well dried it prints off amazingly smooth and clear. You can also use sharpies to colour the clear filament before you pull it through the extruder so you can get custom colours..you can even you the metallic sharpies for interesting effects. I make functional prints with it and found it can make excellent plant pots. For print settings: Hot and slow. I print at 30-40mms and 265°C. Flow rate of 115% (you'll have to play with this a bit). You'll also find that a direct drive, dual gear or titan extruder will work MUCH better with this stuff. Bed adhesion can be a bit of a problem but I found that the cheap build-tack beds and glue stick works great. Painters tape and glue stick works well too (the glue stick makes it easy to remove the tape from the print). 1.5mm retract works well for me also. Hope this helps and I really do hope you enjoy printing with it. It's a challenge to set up but once you have it going it works great.

[@growithjessie]

thank you so much for these tips! and i love how you know and feel what I went through as well. I appreciate your comment very much

[@MsBigRed64]

Good job

[@CharaTR]

Hey, I have a question. I make the filament with a silicone gun. It is almost the same, but if you don't hold it steady, it is different from the 1.75 measurement and gets stuck in the device.So I need a sabot speed puller. What can I use to pull the filament? How do you do it?

[@Enjoymentboy]

@@CharaTR You can replace the PTFE tube with 2mm ID stuff and that will help prevent it jamming. Also, cut the bottles into thinner strips...like 6mm instead of 7mm. When you pull the filament do it cooler and slower. 195-200°C is good. You don't want to melt anything but just soften it and allow the plastic to shrink and form the straw. Pull with a good amount of tension and this will stretch the filament slightly making it smoother and more round. You might find that the more accurate you can manage the heating the better the filament will pull. The filament pulling machine I made is actually pretty janky. it's cobbled together with all sorts of spare parts I had laying around because I did not want to spend ANY money making this thing. It uses an old 12V drill, old hotend, ATX power supply, PWM speed control module I pulled from an old/broken project and a thermostat controller I had on hand for a different project I never finished and a small fan from my parts box. I made an 81:1 reduction gearbox with a spool holder This allows me to pull the tape through with a LOT of tension but very slowly...like 5-6 mm/s. Basically you'll need to play with pull speed/pressure and temps. Once you find that balance it's a lot easier.

[@CharaTR]

@Enjoymentboy I use a silicone gun. So I can't do these, I had already found the balance, the bottle shrinks to the right size due to the 5cm initial cutting size.Also I have to ask something else, can my Ender 3S 1 printer take this filament? And this printer can't keep the heat constant or it does but the limit system doesn't work.I'm not sure, the temperature doesn't stay constant in all cases, do you know what the problem is?

You finally did it! Congratulations!!!!

[@michs1708]

that was the best show of human dogged determination I have ever seen. Well done on your persistence!!.

[@lajoyalobos2009]

The actual temperature of the pultruder nozzle should be 220 degrees Celsius, although I believe the Petamentor's thermistor is a bit offset. I watch a lot of Function3D's videos and he also has a website. He uses a different machine but the principles are the same. As for actual printing, here are some settings that should get you started: Layer height: 0.2 Nozzle temp: 260-290 (start high), 280) Bed temp: 75 Flow: 130% Initial layer flow: 130 Printer speed: 30mm/s (to start with, work up from there) Fan: 15% (if there's crystalization, more fan speed) Retraction: 4.5 Retraction speed: 40mm/s These are alternative settings I've noted, more speed requires higher temperatures. Please note, these ones are notes and need a bit more testing: Nozzle temp: 255 Speed: 25mm/s Nozzle temp: 268 Speed: 96 mm/s Nozzle temp: 255 Speed: 50 mm/s Nozzle temp: 260 Speed: 50 mm/s

Wow, I came across your video and I did love the whole process and your persistence in achieving your goal....you got this....."Mother of turtles"...by the way I'm Ecuadorian (I'm currently living in CT) and I'm so sure the turtles from The Galapagos Islands want you to succeed with your project.

[@JKyleSchroeder]

I’m an awkward turtle. How about you? You could 3D print a gear to help turn your spools. Could 3D print the spools to be removable also. That way you can keep the filament from getting tangled.

[@Berrr_Is_The_Word]

"I grow plants, I'm not an elec-trician..." *proceeds to do badass elec-trician stuff* 😂 See, now this is awesome! I wish to God I had brains like this Sis. I'm a beginner printer that has only 6 prints under my belt, but before my printer even arrived, I'd already been wondering about how to repurpose plastic for filament. This is awesome, but unless there's an affordable version of an already built machine, I'll have to just keep buying filament and recycling what plastics we can. 😅 Very, very cool sis! ❤

[@SafwatGabrplus]

Just an idea; you can flip the plastic feeder portion so you can feed the plastic to it from top. You may need to add a small metal funnel to the feeding portion to accommodate for the excess melted plastic. You may also need to increase the heat a bit to make it melt the plastic properly (not to make it drip). On the other side where the filament is coming out you may also need to add a very small fan to drop the filament temperature once it comes out from the heated tip. Gravity can maintain the process but you can still use the wheel to collect the filament once you have enough filament length to do so!

[@kilroy79763]

Yeah some of the things I have learned in the maker community is from the successes and failures from the community, its always a process good luck with the next part. Thanks I learned something 🙂

[@jmjlori]

Thanks for sharing all of this. My son does 3-D printing, but I had never thought of getting your own plastic. I shared this with my son. (Good chance he knows about this, but either way he probably could learn from this video)

[@hamster7852]

To undo the nozzle get a pair a channel locks and heat the heating block up use an adjustable wrench to unscrew it

[@AMACHiiBiong]

Ma’am, this is genius! 🙌🏽 This should be one of the ways it’s done

[@Balthazar030]

It has been a long time you published this video but besides my congrats on your success i just want to give you a tip. I saw somewhere in the video that that you have connected the heating cables just by twisting them. If thats the case you have to do it either by solder them or grimp them if i use the correct word. It is safety precaution too apart from avoiding issues with the connections. Very well done!

[@Rafi_mythoughts]

Love this. Figure out how to automate making the strips. Fix the forbidden spaghetti pulley. You’ll spend some time but save so much in the long run. The do this type of thing (minus the 3d printing) in India and I’ve seen videos of a simple hand operated machine that automates making strips out of the bottles. They end up making brooms and doll hair and stuff but I love what you’re doing. Keep it up !

As you most likely figured out (still watching lol), diodes definitely need to be wired up in the proper direction. This is how i remember the direction. The white or silver strip at one end is the gate at the end of the race. Electrons are the racers. They start far away from the goal line and must pass through the black to complete the race. Simply put, diodes are like one way doors. I have a diploma for electrical engineering and ive definitely destroyed a lot of diodes while learning haha, the best thing about diodes os how cheap they are 😂 Either way, great job!!

[@jayantastube]

[@linuxman0]

I admire your patience and tenacity. I wonder if you should use a slightly warmer temp on the printer than you did on the extruder. There is a certain amount of time needed for the plastic to cool.

[@ricardo2008lozano]

❤ I love your courage,your interest in this Hobby. I never got the chance to see a girl this much interested in building this pet making machine. You got my attention and a new subscriber to your channel.I also started to get interested in saving all this plastic bottles and turning them into filament to 3d print just about anything. 😂I have to admit it, i was about to give up.I spend lots of hours,sleepless nights, 😢.Frustration and even headaches trying to achieve my goal,exactly like you in this video. But than i said, i will challenge myself ,and i know i can do it. So i kept trying ,and watching you tube videos,reading and than i joined this wonderful PETAMENTOR community in facebook, than boom, my life changed. And i successfully made my very first pet amentor machine,and created my first recycled pet filament. NOW i do this hobby almost in a daily basis,and i had built 3 or 4 more machines.. With much improved own ideas and technics...So all that being said, ❤I LOVE IT so much ,that i am here to help you and others and share all my experience and give you ideas. I have now 3 years doing this, and in time i will share some of my work. Whenever you wish,if its ok ..🎉Great job, and welcome to this wonderful hobby....💯🙏I hope you reply ,so i can better guide you,with joy..

there are many videos online of this project and with different hardware I too will try to make it sooner or later but I haven't had the time yet but I will look for already sized bottles without heating them I have seen that they are available on the market. the only thing I see from your project is that you don't cool the wire coming out of the nozzle and that you don't measure its thickness, there is also a method for joining the filament strings so you can print without problems or interruptions. Anyway, nice result, great job!!

[@geomeungoyangiii2012]

this is so inspiring. but also saving the environment at the same time. one thing about the 3D printer, since the material is a reformed material from flat into round filament by heating process , the quality of the filament would also reduced. so perhaps you might need to re-calibrate the settings of your 3D printer machine ,like input , delay (timer) sequences, nozzle temps, output temps, output delay, and axis speed . that way the 3D print machine would run on the role of new material/filament behaviour than before. greetings from Jakarta❤

[@Lostsouls96]

Just 5 mins into this video but had an idea. Instead of cutting plastic into uniform strips, can you melt the plastic in bulk? Like in a metal container with a filament nozzle welded on. You could have a small hatch to add your plastic, close said hatch and heat the container either on a burner or with a blow torch (not sure on what temp plastic has to be melted, a burner would be more controlled and putting the nozzle near the bottom where the heats applied may help flow) anyways, pressurize the container with an air compressor to slowly to push the filament out at a steady rate as its rolled up. Just thinking ways this could be done on a bigger more effective scale. 👀 Anyways I love what you’ve done, you’ve shown it is possible to reuse plastic for 3d printing. Edit: using a method like this could allow you to change the composition of the plastic entirely as well. Imagine this. You can’t make 100% reusable plastic work as filament but what about 50%? 75% plastic? Gotta find that sweet spot when it stops working and at what temp speeds ect. Also imagine this any bad prints can be recycled as well, just grind them up and melt. Sounds like it’ll work great in my head but in reality sure there will be ton of flaws if a company hasn’t already perfected something like this already. Lol Edit 3: They do have one; it’s called a filament extruder and from my google search they’re expensive. Can’t find any research of anyone trying it with plastic or mixing ratios of filament/plastic tho.

[@welshdragonmetals]

I gave up trying to do what you just did 😩 must be overthinking it,Cool guess it does actually make filament.👍

[@charlesbarkson]

This is like old school youtube but with modern vibes

[@YAYAtheReal]

Nice work, impressive... ...my two cents : you can use a cooling fan at the end of the nozzle to have a finer temp setting...

[@hulkgqnissanpatrol6121]

Nice work 👍 Those controllers are notorious for overheating and mismatched temperature display. When I designed mine I kept in mind that a diy should be based around diy electronics aka arduino, a mosfet and a voltage regulator on a separate circuit with a windscreen motor. Everything come to a total cost of $25-35.

[@legocreator2.076]

nice machine, some suggestions are to add and extruder stepper motor to push the filament through the nozzle and you can add a small cooling fan right above the nozzle so the filament can cool more quickly and the diameter is not disturbed by pulling too much or too little because when filament cools, it cannot be stretched.

[@dgbits]

Did you make the bottle cutting apparatus? is there a file? because I loved it ♥️

[@Balkan_elf]

Hi! I'm stydying mechanical engineering and automatic control systems, so here are some tips that might help! ~Extruder temperature: This can vary from the type of plastic that water bottle is made out of, but a common range for printing with recycled PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), which is often used in recycled water bottle filaments, is typically between 220°C to 240°C. Since recycled materials may have variations in their composition, it's important to start with the lower end of the temperature range and gradually increase it while observing the print quality. Here are some general guidelines: - Start with an extruder temperature around 220°C and adjust as needed. - If you encounter issues like poor layer adhesion or weak prints, try increasing the temperature in increments of 5°C until you achieve better results. - Avoid exceeding temperatures above 240°C to prevent degradation or burning of the filament. ~Print Speed: - Start with a moderate print speed, typically in the range of 30-60 mm/s for most printers. - Slow down the print speed if you encounter issues such as poor layer adhesion, stringing, or warping. - Higher print speeds may lead to reduced print quality, especially with recycled materials that may have inconsistencies in composition. ~Flow Rate: - Begin with the default flow rate settings for your printer, which are typically set to 100%. - Adjust the flow rate as needed based on the extrusion consistency and the appearance of the printed layers. - If the extrusion is too thin or too thick, you can increase or decrease the flow rate incrementally by 5-10% until you achieve optimal results. - Keep in mind that recycled filament may require slight adjustments to flow rate compared to standard filaments due to variations in composition. PS. Double check if the diameter of your fillament aligns with the diameter in the extruder's grippers, maby the gears inside it are not pulling on the string well enough! I hope this helps! If you want to, I can help you make an automatic system that will turn on the motor on your "forbidden spaghetti" wheel so that it pulls and piles the thread of the fillament when the heat on the nozzle reaches the right temperature! Keep us posted and the best of luck!🫶❤️😁

[@chancesimpson6545]

The propper name to the type of plastic is PETG, and thats where the name of the device you made the filiment gets its name. There should be preprogrammed settings for the plastic if it doesn't then be careful when programming it in as petg plastic can put toxic fumes into the air when in a gooey state similar to how it was when attempting the pull trusion (the term for the process). The proper temperature for printing petg plastic is 220-260°C or 425-500°F.

Very nice. I was gifted a 3D printer recently and would love to turn all of my Pepsi Max bottles into something usable with it. I was actually wondering if you fed into the extruder vertically you could allow gravity to take care of things to get the filament started.

Hey Jessie. I love your videos.. try and errors

[@GlitchChamps]

Gotta say I didn't expect watching this drinking my coffee but impressive. I'm working on something similar and designing a machine as well. The filament is going to have problems printing because of 1 main reason I can think of. Human error affecting its density. For example pulling x amount but y amount for a few seconds can mean there's a difference there. I am repurposing parts from my ender 3 to try to also incorporate a hopper. I'm pretty sure at a molecular level that plastic is different cut than if you used it in a hopper fed extruder. Making the assembly line I guess if you will. This is awesome but you might be able to contact a University near you that has a degree in like environmental science or engineering and with your credibility here see if they'd help. Knowing what you're breathing is important too. I know I'm sounding like I'm a big critic right now but if anything I don't criticize I only comment if I see something worth commenting on which yours is. And I really do hope it helps. Refine the process and try to get a more exact , mechanical process and I bet it will do wonders. And the university can provide so much help. They are trying to help like you ya know? My machine is actually using another less used thermoplastic to recycle and use in something but sincerely best of luck and I am on verge of a breakthrough myself with the mechanical aspect. I'll try to send it your way if I do. #SeaTurtlesYo

[@norbertjaworowski6314]

Po pierwsze - Brakuje Ci chłodzenia filamentu zaraz po wyjściu z dyszy. A po drugie - Nie ciągnij za jeszcze ciepły i miękki plastik, bo go rozerwiesz, rozciągniesz, wyjdzie krzywo i brzydko... Zamontuj z drugiej strony silnik, który będzie wpychał materiał ze stałą prędkością. I po trzecie - Ja zrobiłbym długą dyszę, aby plastik rozgrzewał się powoli. Im niższa temperatura tym lepiej. Po środku dyszy osiągałby najwyższą temperaturę, a następnie przechodziłby przez dalszą część dyszy, już nie podgrzewaną, a chłodzoną, aby filament wychodził gładki i równy.

[@Crepypastin2703]

La verdad que es un sistema facil de contruir pero difícil de operar si se quiere tener óptimos resultados. Se lo difícil que es intentar incansablemente hasta que sale, pero cuando lo hace, es una gran satisfacción y hasta un triunfo. Si bien es un material que es facil de conseguir (como las botellas), para hacer piezas grandes hay que cortar muchas botellas. La peor parte tal vez es que los parámetros de impresión son muy delicados de ajustar si se quiere tener grandes resultados, tanto en estética como en solidez de la pieza impresa sin contar los atascos repentino que puede sufrir el extrusor y así echar a perder minutos y hasta horas de impresión. En resumen, es un muy buen proyecto y se puede concretar de manera correcta si se le da mucha dedicación, tanto para construirlo como también para aprender a imprimir con este filamento. Saludos y sigue así...
