      I was going to find out how many typical plastic bottles it would take to make a pound, but after I collected 42, the wind kept blowing me off the sidewalk. I guess I'll have to do it the smart way and weigh just one and divide a pound by that. Then I'll know how many I can collect without getting blown down by the wind, which actually appears to be a more useful statistic. 😉

    • @davak72
      @davak72 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@markmitchell590 I think the only difference is the dimensional accuracy of the filament. Slicing software expects filament to be a specific diameter (1.75mm, for instance), and if the size is different, there will be under or over-extrusion until you tune the slicer for your particular filament diameter, if it’s not exactly the same as commercially-produced filament.
      Additionally, and more importantly, if the diameter is not consistent throughout the entire length of your filament, the layers of your print will be of uneven thicknesses, which can obviously be a problem.
      I’m impressed with this method since the gas stove “glassblowing” technique evens out the thickness across the bottle, then the cutting is made consistently wide thanks to the fixed blade and the weight holding the bottle down. And finally, the motor driving the gear reduction to the spool pulls the rectangular strip through an extruder at a fairly even pace, giving it the best chance of staying consistent in diameter. I suspect the extruder used here is also not too hot, otherwise the plastic would melt and stretch away from the unmelted part.

      Polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE) plastic - the source material of water bottles, soda bottles and more - makes up 10.2 percent of global plastic production. PETG is the same thing only with Glycol added to give it different chemical properties. PETG is less brittle, more pliable, and more heat resistant, but less recyclable.

    This is INSANELY AMAZING! I know that most water bottles are PET and I assumed they would need to be shredded and melted to make a usable filament but man, this is an ingenious "Simple" way to make great use of it! I have been using PETG for anything that needs to be waterproof but using PET like this is insanely useful! I will get into "Simple" recycling like this and make some amazing prints!
    (my use of the quotation marks is just saying that I don't quite understand the intricacies and I am not a person who can say he's an expert by just reading the first page of a Wikipedia article. I am just so excited to see that it is possible! And the video was so smooth and very approachable. I just need to get a couple of tools to allow the conversion into usable filament)

      @@hustlesprouts If you are talking about just the part that makes the strips, there are a number of files on Thingiverse available. I've also seen more low tech versions that is basically (pause for several moments of trying to find the most coherent explanation)... okay, take two stacks of washers to the height of your desired thickness, then place a razor/box cutter/etc blade on top of those, then at least one more set of washers over (making sure the holes are still clear. Screw or bolt these to a board with just enough space between the stacks to let the plastic fit through.
      That's probably the most basic option I've seen, though the first one I saw was some sort of sleeve over a 2x2... and no, my not-yet-properly- caffeinated brain cannot remember how that design was supposed to work. And it will work... but extras, such as the post to hold the bottle steady, and the weight (which I had not seen before, and really like), just make the process smoother and more efficient.

      I'm not able to see mr3dprint reply for some reason. Wondering what his details are regarding the specs for the nozzle and other details. For joining... there is more than one way that can be accomplished. Basically, a tube/pipe the correct diameter can be used on the heated pressed together ends and then slid over the joined section to even out the diameter... then slide the tube to the end. Guessing similar can be performed with that tube cut in half twice so to compensate for the width/thickness of the cutting method with each tube cut in half, so to have a complete tube that can be solder, brazed or glued to some pliers so no need to slide so much distance.

    2) Do you have to cool any of it as it comes out?
    3) Where did you acquire or do you have design for the reel system and firmware for the Arduino.
