Get Set Go !
Propose a Final Project
Producing Filament Directly From PET Bottles.
What will it do : Produce filament from PET bottles and failed prints.
Who will use it : Human Being with a 3D prirnter.
First Draft, 20/1/2018
I want to make a filament producer, mainly due to a number of failed prints th students produce at our lab.
Adding Scribbles For now :
Update 1, 5/3/18 :
- The main perpose of me building a filament producer was to recycle the material,beside recycling the failed prints i thought of producing fialment form PET bottles. But that would require shredding the bottle first in a shredder and prducing PET pallets which is a pretty extensive process on it’s own and thus fails to serve the purpose of recycling filamnet the easy way. Couple of years ago i saw a video on youtube where a person was drawing out strips from PET bottles, So i thought why not fed those strips directly into the extruder and draw out filament.
