The first thing that comes to mind is using a feedback loop that is able to measure the width of the extruded plastic and adjust the roller speed accordingly
yes, it is possible and kinda great idea
You'd use a method that doesn't come in contact with the filament, right? What type of sensor would you use for that?
@@JaceN3DUse something that can roll with the filament after its cooled maybe. The machines I used to work on automated mail opening. It used a magnetic field effect sensor to gauge the distance that two rubber rollers were spread apart by the envelopes going through it. It was EXTREMELY accurate after being calibrated.
This is an excellent project brother!
You've given me several ideas for mine.
I'll be sure to credit you for inspiration whenever I actually get it built and a video uploaded.
Thanks for sharing your idea!
Nice job for a simple approach. Feedback loop for the puller for the win.
Very nice project! Absolutely good information with the specifications of each of the components. I'm looking to build a simple extruder too. This will be very good reference to find the components.
Thank you
Pure Definition Of Hardwork
Helped me a lot
The cost helped me to save and buy other parts
thanks dude !!
thank you so much
Great machine, and wow, you have phenomenal prices! The two 12v pc fan for $2, that"s unbelievable! The word very in prices is an understatement!!!
Wow, cool build! and the benchy turned out amazing all things considered!
Thank you!
Great job! I love your passion you working with💪🏻
Thank you so much
Thankyou for making this video in detail❤
This looks like it was a very frustrating but rewarding project. I like it a lot.
It was!
this is great man, i really want to see home filament extrusion become more common, its great to see u put in work on this
thank you so much
With a few tweeks, i can see the automation of the RPM for a consistent diameter! Well done!!
Great!!!
Awesome Job !
I would definitely make my own DIY filament extrusion machine !
Good Luck Mate!
Thank you so much. if you need any help in your project feel free to ask. once again thank you
That's really cool !
I'm considering building my own filament machine and your video is really great to see all the components needed.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you found my video helpful in your own filament machine project. Best of luck with your build!

⚠️ Quran
You made what people made for a lot more money, just without a shredder and eithout a feedback loop
Great idea with the drill bit :)
To be clear, great job!
Thank you so much
Hey there! Could you please make a product list of all the items we need to buy to replicate a similar system? :)
You need to allow the filament being pulled out to drape down into a catenary before being rolled up. This affects the average diameter of the filament being extruded.
Yes you're right, I did that after few trials
Bro your voice is amazing and intriguing good work on this
Thank you so much
Silly question, how well does the auger mix the raw plastic? If I wanted to experiment with making my own composite Filament (eg: graphene), wouldni be able to use this?
My concern is that your setup seems to melt the plastic enough that it can be pressed into one cohesive Filament, but it likely doesn't heat/mix it well enough that the composite material would form a homogeneous mixture. I'd probably end up with spots rich in one of the two composite materials, and lacking in others ("splotchy" I guess)
so did u get any perfect rpm for the puller?
very good idea
Hello, I am from Mexico, I will carry out this project for school, I hope it turns out well.
Pretty Sure it will, Best of Luck
eh recopilado los materiales para comprarlos la mayoría en Amazon lo único que no encuentro es 420mm 25mm Inner diameter barrel y Mi pregunta es la heater to heat the barrel es de una impresora 3d y de acero inoxidable?
I have compiled the materials to buy most of them on Amazon the only thing I can't find is 420mm 25mm Inner diameter barrel and My question is the heater to heat the barrel is it from a 3D printer and is it made of stainless steel?
@@bydanielgamerv3890I’m asking the same thing also,I want to know diameter of barrel and the extruder diameter
Excellent video 👍
Thank you
Hi do you have BOM list for the project ?:) very cool project!!
I'd love to turn all the car bumpers that I see on the side of the freeway into filament. As I understand it, they're made of polycarbonate. Maybe someday a laser micrometer will be priced low enough that it can measure the filament at the nozzle as it's extruded so the puller can adjust the speed for a perfect dimension.
🤣. Hopefully cops won't notice. Thats possible, using some sort of measuring device like you mentioned laser micrometre, but in this machine everything is manual so you have to use raspberry pie or Arduino with stepper motor control board and high torque stepper motors
how did you get the pet pellets i contacted multiple indiamart vendors low quantity not available
Nice work
Thank you
very smart design! i hate how expensive filament is, considering how old and simple the process is. also, you are quite handsome X3
Yeah Process is Simple But getting good quality Filament takes few attempts but anyways thanks for the compliment 👍
Can it extrude shredded PET Bottles?
Is the auger is auger wood?
0:02
Is that a spider falling ?! 😹😭
😂😂😂. He didn't died, he ran away
Would it be better to have a half pipe setup at the end of the extruder so the filament doesn't stretch or sag as it passes along to the end onto the spool? I ask because I am getting an ender 3v2 in a couple of days (my first adventure into 3D printing) and I want to try make something like this so I can try and become as self sufficient as possible.
Congratulations on your new Ender 3v2 3D printer! It's a great choice for beginners and a perfect way to start your 3D printing journey. Regarding your question about the barrel length, if you choose a shorter barrel of 200mm, it may result in clogging issues due to the heat spreading across the barrel. So, it's recommended to go with a longer barrel of 400mm to avoid this problem.
Given that you're starting your 3D printing journey, it may be helpful to learn more about the factors that affect 3D printing and filament quality. I speak from personal experience, as I started my 3D printing journey by building my own printer from scratch, but unfortunately, it didn't go well, and my project failed. Therefore, taking the time to learn and research before starting a project can save time, effort, and resources in the long run.
@@Creative3DP hey man! Might be a dumb question, but if we were to cool the first portion of the barrel with a few fans, would that work? Kind of how in 3D printers your cold-end heatsink is kept cool by a fan; only here we would use multiple fans to be able to cool the bigger area
Hey, I watched your videos, and I thank you very much for the efforts and information you provide, and I wanted to start recycling plastic into printing filaments. I found two methods on your channel: the first is cutting plastic bottles into strips and then reshaping them into the shape of printing filaments, and the second is melting the plastic and extruding it. Like this video I'm commenting on. I wanted to know, based on your expertise and experience, which of the two methods is more successful and I achieved a better final result, as I want to do the second method, which is plastic extrusion, but I am afraid of the results and that there will be impurities that spoil the matter.... Thank you for your effort and time.
If you are using PET bottles then in that case I would recommend the first method, cutting down the plastic bottle into strips than reshaping them into a filament because it is much more easier to do and the second method that you saw in this video is actually more for making filament from pellets and for impurities you should wash the bottle thoroughly then cut it.
I watched a lot of videos on reshaping plastic bottles and turning them into printing filaments, and I found that in most cases the bottom and top of the bottle are discarded, and since a regular water bottle weighs about 45 grams of plastic, I find that I will only get 20 grams of strips suitable for reshaping. Also, I cannot cut bottle caps and other similar types of plastic around us that cannot be cut into strips for reshaping.
So I thought I would chop these bottles and turn them into small pieces that would be extruded. What do you think?
Your opinion matters a lot to me and it will save me time. Thank you@@Creative3DP
This is amazing! Can you try running some recycled bottle material through it and make a vid on that ?
In my opinion PET machine is better for Creating filament From Water Bottle. But you can try to make bottle Filament through it
Awesome work! Would you please tell me what’s the model of the heater u used for this?
Actually its custom made, I asked the supplier to make me a heater that can reach 300 degrees Celsius and has a specific outer diameter for the barrel,
Can i have the proces of the machine?
Incredible work, I will definitely be referencing your project when I get the space to do some filament recycling. Turning supports, brims, failed prints, and measurement tests back into usable filament is my dream. 50/50 virgin/recycled material would be a good enough win, but I think I might tolerate some "bad" quality if it could be 80 to 100% recycled plastic.
How's the cost of virgin pellets per kilo versus filament? Are you stuck buying larger minimum quantities?
Thanks man, pellets cost almost 50% of what filament cost
@@Creative3DP and the other 50% or more you pay in electricity for the heater
Totally. I want to do the same thing
@@luless666 assuming a 500 watt power supply is used for such project and its running at 100% usage, its still less than 1 USD if you run it 6 hours
@@luless666 Electricity is free for me as long as the sun shines.
Perfect job
what kind of material used in pla filament can you tell me the grade numbers?
PLA granules I don't remember the grade number
Ah yes, a Indian " hobbyist " youtuber who isn't cringe, well spoken and with substance.... Cheers mate
Thank you so much mate
Hi can I use W1209 Thermo Controller with Diode 5408
to reach the temp to melt plastic ?
Noo max it can reach is 110 degree
@@Creative3DP is this ceramic heater " 3D Printer Cartridge Heater Reprap 12V 40W" Can it withstand a temperature of 400 degrees Celsius or what is the estimated temperature that it can withstand?
Hei my friend. Could you help me with the drill size and bearing sizes that you used please? Did you need to rework the drill to fit in the role of bearing?
I used 22mm outer diameter and 8mm inner diameter bearings and I used 3mm dill bit for nozzle
@@Creative3DP you are talking about the bearings used in the pipe of extruder?
@@meagodoy no I didn't any bearings in pipe, I was talking about bearing in filament puller
Wow!!!! Love ur idea!!! Do u have parts list for it??? Would love to make one my self.
I already mentioned parts in video
@Creative3DP ok thank u.
It has like 5 parts. Grab a note pad and a pen. Do you want everything handed to you?
Could you provide a written list version of the component breakdown? Based on that, I could begin to source these parts in my local region and see what the cost and feasibility of this system would be.
Two 80x80mm Fans
85kgcm gear dc motor
400mm auger bit 25mm
420mm 25mm Inner diameter barrel
1.7mm nozzle
heater to heat the barrel
Puller to Pull the Filament
some L brackets
REX C100 with k type thermistor
SSR AC to DC
PWM
Hi can you explain on how your heater actually working? I'm a bit lost at that part...
To set up the system, you'll need three main components: the REX c100, a thermistor, and an SSR. The video link provided in the description will guide you through the wiring process. Here's how it all works in a nutshell: The SSR plays a pivotal role by interrupting the 220v power supply to the heater. As soon as the heater reaches the desired temperature, it works to maintain that temperature. The REX c100 comes into play here, allowing you to set the desired temperature and giving you control over the process. Meanwhile, the thermistor constantly measures the temperature and sends this information to the REX c100. Once the REX c100 detects that the desired temperature has been reached, it takes action to halt the DC supply from its side. This leads to a complete interruption in the power flow circuit. When the temperature decreases, the REX c100 resumes sending power from its end once more.
how much is diameter of barrel and auger bro?
Amazing video. What diameter is your auger? I'm trying to plan out a version of this build
Great! Best of Luck, Auger is 20mm in diameter and 400mm in length
@@Creative3DP that was a quick reply, thank you so much
you're welcome
How can the container for pallet not melt when ther are touching the barrel?
Heat doesn't reach that point.
can you replace the DC motor with something like a wiper motor for the auger motor?
Yes you can, I saw many projects online who're Using wiper motor
if the watt of power supply is different with the heat band,is it okay?
The heat band is running on AC current, and the power is regulated by the SSR according to the need.
easier way is to take all the internal componenets of a juicer machine and lay it out in this configuration. juicers already have the right components and speed and the screw rod
Have you tried this? I think that could be a great idea, especially because I'm not sure where to buy the screw and barrel 👍🏾
Bro We are preparing this as our Course Project Please Show Electrical Connection in description??
Hey where did you get the auger and barrel from? Could you please help me out with the link or contact

@@Creative3DP thanks
Can u put the link in the description?
Can you make video or attach links to everything you bought and where go get it. Even the machine shop diameters
Sure I will attach the links soon
If you can't be bothered to do any work you are unlikely to build it.
@jerbear7952 yeah I'll just reach into the video and get the size measurements of everything on my own.
Hi !
Can i get list of components used with their specifications?..
Really need this
Nice! Pleace can i order this machine ? Especially the heater..
Well, this is a DIY project. If you need the parts used in this project, you can contact me by email.
Am i blind? Do you have a list of the parts? I see the link for the 3D parts, but if im going to the hardware store, i need a list
Grab a pencil and a piece of paper. Quit being lazy
Where does the source material come from, the little plastic beads?
I sourced PLA Pellets from Local Trader who Trades in Plastic Granules
What plastics can you make filament out of with this?
PLA
screw press through filament nozzle directly into filament or from plastic beads direct to a printer, yes a filament extruder on a 3d printer accessory
It appears that you're describing a filament extruder system, where PLA pellets are melted and extruded through a 1.75mm nozzle. However, if you plan to integrate this extrusion system directly onto a 3D printer, it may work better for larger printers that print with larger nozzle sizes. For normal desktop 3D printers, it may not be worth the effort as the quality may not be optimal.
@@Creative3DP what quality, you remelt the extruded filament straight away, of course it will be beneficial, melt-extruded or just compression-extruded
@@Creative3DP biased assessment, for your own benefit
@@Creative3DP money bias shows, as you want to pay for your filament or instruct to use pre-made filament, from manufacturers, for nonsense reasons
@@Creative3DP I'm not asking you if you think its fine, not giving any authority to anyone, use it or lose it, take care
Hi... friend
Can please help me for making this...
Can you send the link of the barrel and heater for buying
Sure, Both of the things I sourced locally, you can easily get the barrel in your nearest hardware store but heater might be hard to find
I search .... Entire town but not found a heater
Can you give me specifications and idea for heater.... and link which I am easily find
Also please share the other electronic details...or links...
Pdf about Electric Connection in Description??
Can you try and make one using parts from a ender 3 printer ?
If you mean creating filament extrusion system from ender 3's parts, i don't think that would be possible cause the ender 3's parts are rarely in use for this machine as the parts of this machine are different.
Why don't you do it?
Bro did you used a "drill bit " as a screw feeder
yes
You should have a little tub of water in front of the extruder
Yes but fans are enough
Could you make pellets out of a water bottle so that you could make big spools
You can shred the plastic bottle and put it in this but I would say PET Extrusion systems is much better to make Filament from plastic bottle
The issue is the raw material, the pelletes are cheap but shipment from china is expensive
Yeah bro can u help me to do the final year project
Bro need help plz rply me ASAP POSSIBLE
Im still curious at how this works
Front part of the barrel is hot and the auger feed the pellets which melts and comes out through the nozzle.
from which website did you get the auger and barrell can you provide the links ?

Hello dear friend, I ask you to write to me what settings you made in the ''cura'' program to print What settings did you make I just can’t find the settings for this , so that the 3D printer prints well Thank you in advance I really liked the video and I wrote you a like
No settings are changed because this Home made PLA Filament is kinda same as factory produce. So, I printed with normal setting which I use for Factory made PLA
