Do we all have that vase?

Man, can anyone create a pellet system for the Bambu A1 Mini?

Das ist unser Mastermind

Does the screw diameter impact print quality? How about using a variable diameter, like a cone?

I think it would be more productive to develop and market a home extruder to produce your own filament from the pellets. Theres no way to control extrusion well enough to go from pellets direct to print.

LoL you gotta order a whole Barrel or a pallet to get that price 😂 Would be nice for a 1mm Nossle tho 😂 and you will sand items for the rest of your life 😂😂😂

Would it be possible to have the pellets go into a grinder first to reduce their size ? or would that just bind up in the screw more

Sry but a benchy doesnt cost 5 euros the thumbmail is misleading

Seems like youde get a lot of air bubbles and jams with a setup like this

You could also greatly decrease weight by using flexible shaft (similar like dremel use for example) and moving motor to upper frame. It should work pretty ok, it could cause some retraction issues as it's basically just a coil most of the time but well, maybe worth to give it a try.

I wonder if the oozing can solved if you printed upside down 👀 the cooling fans could also be angled upwards towards the plate to encourage the plastic to extrude on the print

i JUST got a BambuLab P1S (with AMS). havent even opened the box yet. would this work with that?

Wait so I could make a pallet to filament setup and then just use it as a filament

One thing that pellets cant do is swap colour during printing, like Bambulab Prusa can do. Just revers extruder out of PTFE tube and insert new filament

5 times cheaper and it takes 5 times longer. Imight be pessimistic, but you are not taking into account speed. I doubt a pellet printer could match a modern consumer grade fdm printer. You are comparing with an ender 3v2 (i just sold mine). I mean you are printing with different heads at what i am guessing is 50-60 mm/s with low travel speeds on the same printer. Have you tried the cobra 3 or bambu lab a1? There is mix and match there :)))) If it takes me 10 hours to print a piece at 5$ a kg ill gladly take 3 hours at 20$ a kg. Electricity is a big part of the cost and when talking tens of thousands of hours in kwh filament price would be my last concern.

I like the idea but the extruder costs as much as I've spent on filament in the past 10 years combined

you mentioned being able to reuse failed printing scraps, is there a limit for how small they could be? if I threw my scraps into a blender would the scraps be too fine? another thing that caught my eye was the German hose you mention, I don't live in germany how would I get a pipe that would work? would there also be a way to just buy the hardware that we cant get off of our own printers or 3D print ourselves(just the screws and feeding auger)?

Hi You just match at the right time what need the 3D printers to improuve new targets.I wrote you a mail to purchase as soon as you can yuor extruder.Congratulations

Okay so i can't find that price for pellets but imagine we could, The solution would basicallu be to make a cheap filament spool maker from pellets. I think it'd combine the best of both worlds

Wow Amazing work! You have solved the major headache people has by trying to find the best filament. With pellets we only need to find the best material for the application. Thanks.

It'd be nice to have a cheaper way to make filament from pellets and grinded parts

I have pre-ordered the IdeaFormer IR3 V2 Belt 3D Printer. Does the extruder fit on this printer? It would be the perfect upgrade for such printers, with the infinite Z feature. I would order it straight away. Are there instructions for the extruder and config files?

Could you realise your marlin firmware? it will help me a lot. Huge fan

bro, you should definitely make a filament extruder. just a sloppy one, then grind that filament into granuals (using a blade cutting the filament as you feed it as one stand) . this will definitely make for more event pellets for your extruder! this is interresting. gj

Bro, Pruša needs to hire you. This is the future of 3d printing.

I hope it will be cheaper in the future...

would be good to see this running on a bambu A1

Hi Just came across your video and like your concept just wanted to know if you will ship your pellet extruded to India as I would like to purchase one

I am in absolute awe. You are ABSOLUTELY correct. There is a huge market that falls under the 'Good enough' category. It's not even bad print quality. I'd MUCH rather have a bunch of good enough prints made from all of my plastic waste. I will be ordering soon.

I think it’s awesome that you work a regular job while also starting your own business I did the same but with DåB tools hopefully you can quit your Day job and become fully independent

Can this Plastic Crushed Universal Pellet extruder for 3D Printer Filament Plastic Granules Crusher extruder Assembly kit be install on a Leap frog or a Anet A8 3d printer?

the why is oustanding when you worked around industrial extruder PRECISION no slip drying of pellets in the screw but i think since you need to save weight you need a melting screw with a hopper then a heated tube and another finer fillet screw to extrude, or switch nozzle and screw to extrude 1/4 or even 1/2 thick melted cord to make sturdier cords print looks horrible but you get perfect layer fusion you need heat on both screws and once the first bigger screw is filled with pellet and pigment you have a certain linear lenght of the color you choose on the head heated screw very tight into a fixed barrel so you extrude PRECISION witch each turn of that one.then first screw get refill another pigment and compress air to deliver pellets This is what industrial machine use but in one screw wich get tighter and tigher in the barrel with their spiral channel getting almost non existant for a section but for weight control it have to be done onto a fixed screw. one that feed the head where anoter finer screw is located and extrude either slow but very precise width or fast with another nozzle and a fitting screw pushing out some ridicule amount of material to build sturdy and ugly parts in no time

Will this work for the A1

I'm so excited for your release- theres so many other youtubers who have big viral videos for mostly all failures in end or just crappy, you seem like a really kind humble person- another rare thing to find- thanks so much friend, im so grateful and excited for the release! so many new possibilities thank you brother!

Snake oil...

Buddy, 400$ is a bit overkill for your thing... You can buy a decent printer for these money...

Great video!

Dude i literally just started watching 3D printing videos about 3hrs ago & asked myself the same question! Why arent pellets being used🤔😂 Thanks for answering my question. 🤯

Hey, my printer also generates smoke!

Keeping your filament sealed will be a lot easier too when its in pellet form! goodbye filament driers!

Is retraction possible?

Has anyone tried modifying their voron 2.4 to support this?

It's obvious why pellet printers haven't hit the mainstream. Most 3D printer companies also make their own brands of filament and at anywhere from $20 -$40 per 1Kg roll of filament, they are making way more from filament sales than on the initial printer sale. With pellet filament costing a fraction of the cost of filament rolls, it's not a profitable business model. The only chance for pellet extruders would come from a 3D printer company that's not in the filament game, but even then, there's an issue of pellet supply. Most places that sell filament won't want to give up precious shelf space to also sell pellets that make them less money when their cut of the 1Kg filament rolls is so lucrative. I would love for the industry to shift to pellet printers, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Kristian, congrats for the project. Do you sell just the schematics and BOM of tha extruder?

Is there air bubble inside pellets?
