- Super keen to share this with you!
And thanks to my mate for helping out building this extruder.
We had lots of fun extruding this first small piece and testing how the machine performs.
It was around 0°C, so things were not easy to heat up.
Super keen for the warmer weather and longer days to come around!
Thanks for tuning in !
Peace 😃

Hello, so I am from Mali. And in an effort to fight plastic waste I make plastic pavers out of plastic waste waste. And now I’m planning to building a plastic extruder that is cost effective but haven’t got a clue how. Your video is amazing btw
Hey Amara, thank you so much!
Sorry for my late reply by the way. Your idea sounds awesome! Making Pavers is a good idea when you want to turn around a lot of plastic waste. And they don't have to be totally clean either (which takes less work).
However, I'm not sure if you can build a cheap extruder and get the results you would want. My setup works really well for putting in a lot of plastic. When the opening at the front is big enough, there's quite a bit coming through.
I tried to make mine as cheap as possible and here is what it cost (if i remember correctly):
- Extrusion barell and screw - around 250€
- Heating elements with electric box - 300€
- A coupling - maybe 50€
- An electric Motor - Mine was 600 but it is overpowered for an extruder because I've bought it for the shredder.
Maybe you can try and find a used electric motor with similar specs? That would be a start to make things cheaper. Check out the video from precious plastic, they're using a wood drill as a screw and you could go with a steel pipe for the barell. You could get the heating elements for cheap online and build it together yourself or ask someone that knows electric stuff :)
Hope that helps 😃
Brilliant!
Thanks man! Are you the one and only Mattia from PP ?😃
That's an awesome project!
Yeah man, it's a lot of fun too ! 😃
Awesome plug in and play design to what function you want!
not sure if i understand :)
If you have access to a CNC or Lathe, check what companies around need and create molds for it. Check for small piece that can be easily reproduce. Love the extruder!
Thank you so much! I am just starting to see what products I could make with that extruder.
Stay tuned for my next update, just been trying out my first mould yesterday 😃
Good tip too btw !
I recently got a quote for vinyl fencing. it was $20,000. This type of thing, if it could produce the fences, would save a lot of plastic AND money.
Wow, that's crazy ! You would definitely need a lot of plastic, and they would have to look similar too. Nice idea though!
One thing you can make is a "Deadblow Hammer". Any trade that installs windows needs one. Also automotive. It's a plastic hammer with a steel core. Sand weight at the head. I actually want to make the machines for this reason. The milk gallons plastic we get in the USA is perfect for this tool.
Sounds like a solid idea but how to you get the steal/sand core into the hammer?
You can fix steel core into a metal tube. I think that bolts is a best idea.
You could try making racks for fitness equipment. Accessories for outdoor & gardening might be worth snooping around for too! Looking forward to your next video!
Great ideas mate! I had a small shovel in mind as well. I will start with tiny plant pots as soon as i can! Will have more videos coming up, thanks for your support man😃
Great hobby. Best of luck with it.
thank you so much!
Deck board and plastic bricks would be great implements. A thick round flange w/6 bolts to connect the die to the extruder end would help seal between but the excess pouring out of the connection is normal. You could have a pin size hole ground in between to direct this overflow downward. A pressure sensor before the extruder end to monitor high pressure. Molten plastic under pressure and spray and leave deep scaring burns. Not to mention fire safety. The die itself could be shorter but an additional lower temperature heating element would help it flow out. Once out of the die air or water cooling would help keep its shape and leave it with a nice finish.
Yes, I would definitely love to make a penny board!
Thanks for all your input, that's super helpful. I will upload another video of my progress with the beams soon.
i use to work for a plastics company, injected and rotational, your extruder die needs to be much shorter, polish the insides if there not already, a release agent would help and a roller table to receve the post after the die, we use to make welding fillament. basicly after the die head you draw the wire though a trough of water to cool then onto a spool and wind it up thus draging though the water. making 1.0mm and bigger. great to see this becoming a home hoby tech like 3d printing... ;)
What is the die of an extruder? I'm a little lost here. I'm not super keen on making 3D filament because it's so tough. I would love to get a penny board mold or something like that.
Heat your mold to molten plastic temperature before extrusion for easy removal. Spray the inner mold surface with mold release silicon spray for frictionless release. Run a continuous extrusion so that subsequent feed assists in pushing out the previous.
Your first point is to heat the molten plastic before extrusion, do you mean heat it before going in the mold? Molten plastic should be hot enough by itself or what do you mean?
The spray sounds very interesting! I tried all kinds of lubricants before but not sure if i tried silicon. Any recommendations?
Thanks four your input man!
Reply...ugh...
My .02 Cent, I have been watching a lot of these type of videos, I have yet to see anyone insulate the extruding tube, Fiberglass blanket or wrap. A tremendous amount of heat is being lost there and your heating elements are working more than they should. Also maybe place a couple of the heating element clamps on the long molds to keep the plastic more fluid.
Great Start...
Thanks a lot for the input. Yes insulation makes a lot of sense.
I was also trying out heating the mould. Might cover that in the next video :)
Creative video, thanks :)
thank you !!
As an advice, put a plug slightly smaller in the pipes that would be pushed by the plastic once the pipe is filled. It would be a much more condensed extrusion. 👍
Thanks for the hint! I will post a video of my attempt of making beams soon :)
If I had an extruder , I would produce some filament for 3D printing.
A long time ago, I produced molds. As long you have round shapes with the same center, molding is not so difficult. Just onbe maxchine, a lathe, is needed.
The performance of your extruder is good for small molds. When you produce beams, the fronter tip will be hardened long before the end is reached. For beams, thats possible, for molds, it`s nessecary, that the whole mold is filled, before one part of the material begins to harden.
Thanks for your input Klaus! I will need it for my future improvement on the machine. Really appreciate it, thanks!
also, you can plan for simple wall shelves. floating shelves using moulds
That's a good one too :)
If you add heat zones to the tubes for those extrusions it will flow quicker and be way more solid when done. You can even run continuous. Add water bath after the tube. Also make the tube shorter for sure to run constant.
I know what you have in mind. I tried to go in that direction but it didn't work. I will post an update video on those extruder tests soon.
I think for this extrusion you are talking about you would need machines that are a lot bigger and that run for a whole day. It's kind of like making 3D filament right? you cool the extrusion right when it comes out and you end up with and endless beam. That was also what i was hoping for. But is definitely hard to achieve. You'll see in the next video :)
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS it is and isnt. but yes you cool the filament as it exits have been aextrusion tech for 20 years. wire cable and tubing. also made fillers wich is exact same as filament. awesome project though. i havr always wanted to make one for home
4x4 (90mm X 90mm) beam replacement for home building. Plastic is a little be weaker than wood, from my understanding, so by making 4x4's you could build anything. I am personally thing of a patio frame and then toping that frame with a plastic sheet thick enough to hold roofing tar. In this way the plastic is immune to any water damage and the tar will protect the plastic from the sun.
I'm sure you've got great ideas on what to make 😃
Great thank you
Thank you!!
for watching :)
Geodesic dome connector and you can build the green houses all around
That is genious my man! I always wondered why to build such a structure but a greenhouse seems like a perfect use case! 😃
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS Yeah but would like to build one .
I am surely inspired by the video . Great work buddy! Trying it out for myself. I need some help with auger and the barrel. Could you please let me know where can I buy it from?
Hey dude, thanks a lot!
You can try the bazar of precious plastic or alibaba. Send me a message on IG if you want more details.
Hello, I have a similar extruder, and I should say that extruding (even beam) is not so easy task as on Dave's videos. There are a lot of issues, and it is a very difficult to repeat same result. And if we talking about moulds - It is better to start from simple shapes (plant pot - is good choice).
Hey there! Yes that's true. I haven't been extruding because I have to fix my welding machine to weld a better connection for the beam mould but so far it wasn't easy at all. Dave makes it look so easy in his videos though ;)
Thanks for your input! What moulds have you been doing?
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS I have moulds only for injection machine. I would be very satisfied If I could produce beams, with regular parameters in adequate time, but I still couldn''t cope with it.
@@copypaste815 Would love to see some of your work :)
Definitely heat the mold to the glass transition temperature or a little higher. Without it the first plastic out will begin freezing and create back pressure and clog.
That's true! I will keep that in mind. Thanks for the tip!
You could make 3d printing filaments but it need additional cooling tank and pulling mechanism
Yeah that's true. Which is why it's super hard to do and i don't think i will manage to get it done 😃
Hello, good extrusion equipment, but I have a question, how did you do the protection of the extruder screw's recoil so that it does not damage the reducer? Since I see it is a bearing but it is not axial, it is like a flange radial. video
i think i now what you mean but then i also don't really know what you mean. Yes there's only this one bearing and yes, that bearing also prevents the screw from going towards the coupling. Is that what you meant?
The design isn't perfect, but it works 😄✌🏻
If you don't mind me asking what were the amps set at on your first run? It's possible that maybe the test run wasn't hot enough. Maybe add some kind of lubricate with the plastic? It could be cooling too fast?
I don't know the amps. been a long time. But i have improved the design and will come with an update video soon!
how much torque would you recommend for the plastic shredder motor? for the extruder motor?
I think my motor has 300 Nm of torque and it's alright for the shredder but the extruder definitely struggles with that. I can only extrude for 30min before it overheats.
The motor I'm using has 2.2kW, 230V and around 75rpm output speed, if i remember correctly.
Awesome bulding looking very cute.. I want make same one..😊
Thanks so much !!
Ashtray. or something under my gas stove. etc.knife handle, as a lkw driver i could use an antenna holder hanging from the mirror bars, also there is a ton of need but various difficulty.
Good thoughts man! What do you mean by something under your gas stove? Just a sheet so that it sits better?
Various difficulty is the point really. Many awesome plastic products but most of them difficult to make.
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS So it wont shift around. I have a portable gas stove and I usually put it on top of the fridge when I'm cooking. Also Coasters. Or Filament for 3d printing.
@@BloodAcidPro ahh right. That makes sense. thanks man :)
You can start with nylon rods, and fishing line, very easy to make
Thanks, nice idea!
cool project! here are some ideas I have
- game dice
- chess pieces
- guitar/bass picks
Seriously awesome ideas!! 😃
Chess pieces are probably one of the coolest things i have heard so far, but you need so many different moulds for that.
game dice and guitar picks are just genious ! :)
Thanks for your ideas Layla!
Awesome build. But why the hell is nobody using an extruder screen for filtering the molten polymers?! Every normal sized extruder or blow molding machine has it. It has to be Installed before the nozzle after the hottest heating stage and obviously after the screw.
In normal operation when the temperature is too low / rpm of screw is too high the resulting shear stress will cause lokal degradation ("burning") of the polymer. These impurities will be filtered out be the installed screen. Screen size depends on melt flow index of the used polymere and can be found in vendor documentation (to build ur own).
BTW: Extruding long objects without heating the mold or lubricants will always cause the extruded part to look ugly at the end. As its growing while extruding so is the force growing needed to push the bar through the mold. That again leads to burning or damage of the screw / motor. You should just use a big nozzle shaped as desired for such shapes and active cooling the extruded (endless) part.
Happy extruding =)
Hey there! Sorry for the late reply.
I don't really know why no one is using a screen to filter the molten plastic. Sounds very plausible though. I'm not an expert. Just trying out the precious plastic approach to recycle plastic.
Thanks for the advice. I will post an update on all my learnings soon:)
Don' need a filtering screen (a filter) for extrusions so big as this. All of the contaminants will just be trapped in the mixture. That is the joy of it. Throw any old shite into it and it will still be strong.
But yes, a heated mold is essential, especially for PET or any other semi-crystalline polymer. If if crystallises in the mould no amount of power will push it through.
@@joemulkerins5250 but this "trapping" is one reason for the ugly appearance ;-)
Where did you get the shredder? I can’t find them anywhere.
precious plastic bazar :)
can you make WPC (wood plastic composite boards) using this extruder ???
That would be awesome but I'm afraid that's too hard. maybe without the holes going through the middle.
A small shelf might be a good idea.
Thank you Amie, a shelf sounds lovely!
Wow plastic extrusion at home 😱 Do you only have access to a lathe or can you make something else with CNC?
Yeah it's crazy, can't wait for the next session :)
I don't either of them but my mate has a lathe in his basement and a CNC at work, so that's awesome !
Amazing, no mind me asking where the coupling from? Thanks
The coupling i bought from Maedler. Their page is the following: www.maedler.de/
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS thank you for your reply. what was the flange size for the extruder?
@@hackercabin190 I think it just has a small shaft where you attach the coupling.
Are you also building an extruder?
I am building it it's awsome project that I hope seeing it finished I actually bought most parts and am half way there I guess, am stuck at the flange which the barrel get attach to it, the part between the coupling output and the screw. if you could offer guidance would be highly appreciated @@ARTVENTUREFILMS
@@hackercabin190 yeah man for sure! send me a message on insta. Maybe you can send a picture of the flange and where you need to attach it.
At minute 1:45 you mentioned that you had purchased an extruder and barrel. Would you consider telling me where you bought it as I would like to build an extruder similar to the one you have shown in this video.
I think it was Alibaba (AliExpress is more for consumer products). Just reach out to people, they're super helpful. And have faith that things will arrive :)
I think there's even one called precious plastic. It's not easy to know what products at which price and when they will ship but just ask them.
Maybe a desktop cnc could help you for making moulds out of aluminium?
that would be sick! But I leave that to other companies. I'm currently in the making of building a mould (or letting someone else cnc machine it for me).
Hey artventure films, Great fan of your channel. Please a quick question, how much horsepower is the induction motor you use for the extruder? and how many phase, 1 phase or 3 phase motor?
Hey thankyou so much! I think it's a 2.2kw 230v motor. But it's not enough for proper injection, it heats up too quick. It's good enough for shredding though
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS Is that a 3 phase or 1 Phase induction motor?
@@mmnyako i don't know, sorry! Even after looking it up, I can't remember.
And i wouldn't know which one is better either.
Awesome video man!
Some improvements you could do to the machine is:
Adding some kind of fireproof insulation around the barrel and nozzle to keep a more even temp.
Lubricate the beam mold.
Having higher heat at the nozzle.
Using HDPE for the beams.
Using the machine in warmer weather so that the beam mold don't cool down the plastic too quick.
Good Luck man! ^^
Thank you so much man!
How would you lubricate the mould? I think that's my biggest problem right now.
Thanks for the tips too, I'm already working on improvements.
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS HDPE Is kind of selflubricating so that might solve it for that. But for other plastics, getting candlewax in the mold might be the least messy way i think.
@@olemi99 I didn't know HDPE would do that.
Will test that for sure!
Maybe waxing or lubricating it otherwise will be an option for PP, will see.
Thanks for your input !

Good thought, thanks William!

Thanks
Hey i would love to help but i don't have the time, i'm sorry. The internet is your best friend :)
Doooope!
Thanks a lot Robert ! 😍
What du you think maby gocart seat or boat seats
Great idea!
I love things like this! But also the size is so hard to make with small machines..
you shoud make the metal into a two part mold and also heat the mold up
What kind of shape though?
Beams like aluminium frame used for diy projects
you mean those 3030 aluminium profiles ? That would be crazy!
Are you able to come up with a desktop extruder that functions like a solid ink printer for depositing precisely controlled melted dots of plastic onto a page. But then using that process as the basis for a full CMYKW 3D extrusion printer. Use "raw/virgin" plastic pellets or recycled pellets to make these new shapes. Because it is more like a traditional printer you'd be able to lay down much more material than squeezing it through a small heated tip like a normal hobbyist level 3D printer.
The other thing that would be of tremendous benefit is to make a desktop vinyl sheet extrusion / printer. In essence the same idea as above but for the fabrication and application of custom-made vinyl in the shape desired. No more trimming, weeding, or waste. Potentially faster production times, overall cheaper, only need to get the raw materials. Add other properties to each batch as you would swap filaments for infused wood, metals, rubber, etc. It would be a revolution to the application of vinyl decoration and sign making.
Your ideas sound crazy, but I'm not sure if i get what you mean.
CMYKW printing sounds awesome but how am I supposed to pull that off? Same with the vinyl, how do you think to make a vinyl sheet extrusion? I've never seen any vinyl in my plastic waste.
Thanks for your ideas nonetheless!
Crazy ideas are how society moves forward. Look at 3D printing itself because no so long ago it was a revolutionary crazy idea. So I've been watching tutorials of how vinyl is used to decorate all kinds of things. It always uses thin sheets that are cut by hand or machine into a flat shape and then the unwanted areas are picked out during the weeding and trimming process. This weeding stage is bad on the eyes and body over time. The vinyl that isn't used for a project is thrown away. Extremely wasteful process.
Watching how Siser makes their vinyl their videos depict it in pellet / raw form whereby it is fed into a hopped and runs through an extruder. Watching videos of how vinyl records are made and they too use raw plastic pellets that are fed into a hopper and fed through an extruder to get the desired shape. Vinyl is described as having a rubbery gel-like quality once heated. 3D filament resin also comes in pellet form, is fed into a hopper, then run through an extruder to produce the shape desired. Usually as a thin string of plastic material but there is no reason it cannot be made into other shapes.
This was the basis of my idea. By blending ideas of the desired outcome to create a "desktop" sized machine that can fabricate sheets of vinyl on-demand in the desired finished shape people would be able to eliminate the weeding and trimming process of decorating garments, signs, etc.
Add the flexibility to precisely control the deposition of the vinyl like is done with solid ink printers means a page printer of vinyl working at much faster speeds as opposed to squeezing out a thin filament onto a heated plate to slowly build it up one layer at a time.
While laying down precisely printed full color Cyan Magenta Yellow Black White in the desired shape one page sized layer for each pass you could layer those as well to create a much faster full color 3D extrusion vinyl printer.
As to how you achieve that? This is why I asked if you can do it. I posed this question to several other engineers who use and build 3D printers, to Siser itself in the hopes this idea would get traction.
Melted plastic and vinyl will conform to whatever shape it is forced through or molded as. Liquid resin 3D printers use a laser or high resolution LCD mask to produce each thin sheet of material layer by layer. But that process is a bit more involved requiring cleaning, UV curing, and sometimes post production treatments. It also tends to be a single color for the entire build.
@@IraQNid Seems like you've been in the topic for a while. Sounds like a good concept too.
For me to pull this off would take a lifetime though. I'm not an engineer and if I'm not fully hooked by an idea, it's hard to put so much effort into a project.
This seems to be directed in the shirt printing industry and they would definitely benefit from such an idea. It's not really what i would like to get into though.
Thanks for your explanation. I hope you'll find someone that is keen on trying it out.
Different question though, why aren't you trying it out yourself?
@@ARTVENTUREFILMS I'm not able to.
Hi how much does one of these excruders cost and where can I purchase one from
always depends on if you build it yourself and only buy parts or if you buy it pre assembled.
between 500 and 2K.

Yes, a lot of flaws. And i already continued but haven't posted anything until now. I will try to make up for it and work on a video showing more of the process.
Thanks for the motivation!
Wouldn’t this be useful as an Extruder for filament to be used for 3d printers?whether it be using virgin pla/abs or partially recycled plastic, I mean after all most 3d prints are just rapid prototypes that would end up in a landfill anyways.
Yeah that's true but making good filament is not easy and you need even more machines. I was thinking of buying a mould and just doing one object
Make a nozzle to extrude 1.75 or 3mm 3d printing filament
That would be cool!
Have you built a reactor?
what is that ?
Can you make 3d printing filament
Yes, definitely possible but not easy. I would need another machine that could wind the filament in the right diameter.
Hi, looks a good job to me, can you advise what output Kg/Hr the barrel could produce, i have a project in mind for extrusion of a product which would be extruded through a die to produce a1 metre long part. that would be continually running for a batch. What electrical consumption are the heating elements taking. Keep up the good work i love it. Reg
thank you so much! unfortunately i don't have the data on this. And i've been upgrading my machine the last couple of years, because it had a lot of flaws.

I mean is the melting process going to up the price of plastic ?
Not sure. If you can deliver high quality plastic flakes, that's probably something people who have machines would buy.
If you sell molten plastic, it always depends on the shape and color. I guess it depends on what shape your molten plastic has.
