PET-Machine, affordable, modular and easy to assembly device that will help you to make your own filament from the plastic bottles at home. Most of the parts are 3D printable, the rest is very simple and easy to get. No soldering needed.
Minimum bed size to print every particular part is 18cmx18cm.
Average cost of the all parts excluding printed elements oscillate around 70-110$.
Bill of materials included.
Disclaimer: PETMachine design is a functional prototype, not a complete product. There is absolutely no warranty, you will make this design at your own risk. I will not be responsible for any damages associated with it.
Do not treat this design as a finished product. If You will find any improvements during building Your own machine I will be happy if You share with me! I could easily overlook something.
3D PRINTING SETTINGS
Average printing time: 50-130h (depends of the printing speed)
Average filament weight: 1400g (with supports)
Material for 3D printing: 97% of the parts are made from PLA, just parts having contact with heating head requires ABS.
Project is very complex and particular parts have different printing settings. Everything is well explained in documents attached to this project.
