What I really like is the fact you reused a lot of existing tools. Genius.
Thanks 😀
That is a genius of simplification. This is the best approach for prototypes. I try doing the same in my projects. Do as simple as possible and don't destroy existing tools for my trial project
@@dsheshin Thanks 😀
That would have been so funny if you'd have 3D printed it back into the same exact bottle 😄
Some parts is printed from bottle 😀
@@lets_make I think he means that he thinks it would be funny if after having done all that work to make 3d printing filament out of plastic bottles, that you'd end up 3d printing a bottle lol
Would that be considered "bottleception"?
The funny part is with cura vase mode, one probably can! lol
😅
I like how you repurposed existing tools. I think you could improve your winder by making it hold a spool for filament so you don't have to unwind it at the end.
Good idea, thanks😀
Great project. Thank you for this!!!😃👍
Thanks 😀😀
I love how simple you made the setup yet the print looks very good!
Thanks man 😀
@@lets_make im gonna try to replicate your setup do you have any advise for me? like for example do you know the gear ratio you used?
@@Senbino1998 Gears you can find there www.thingiverse.com/thing:5200645 , try to use 60w glue gun or 100w

I dig the drywall screws holding your fan guard on the hot end. 👍
Haha
Incredible! Thank you for sharing!
What a great project. I'm gonna try this. However, if i cant get a reduction assembly, I may build a speed controller for the drill setup. Thanks for your video!
Thanks 😀
Amazing! I never thought to use a hot glue gun as the extruder.
I was a bit confused at first, but after looking through the comments I think I understand the hot glue gun setup (please correct me if I am wrong). It looks like the specific hot glue gun used has changeable nozzles, and that is where the drilled threaded nozzle comes into play (I was thinking it was welded on at first). I wonder if this extrusion setup could be modified further to output more solid filament that is also closer to 1.75mm diameter (from what I see the resulting filament here is "hollow" as it doesn't fully melt the PET and doesn't quite come to the 1.75mm diameter mark).
Very impressive setup! I'll definitely be referencing this if/when I try making one myself. :D
Thank you very much😃, yes the nozzle is variable, I made it with a 1.5mm drill, you can try if you find 1.55, 1.60 but not more because the filament expands when it comes out of the nozzle
@Let's make Right, I'll keep that in mind; the interchangeable nozzle design should allow easy experimentation with nozzle sizes.
Also, one more question: what is the width of the strips you cut out from the bottles? I imagine different widths may yield different results both for filament diameter and the "dead space" in the middle of the folded ends.
@@Arbiter1223 About 10 mm depends on the thickness of the bottle, you have to be guided by feeling
Great video! Do you have the specs on the gearing setup for the spooler? also is that a high temp dual melt gun? Specs would be appreciated! thanks for the video!
I will record video how to make
that's a good idea, using a hot glue gun never thought of that, but they essentially work the same way, helps if you're having trouble trying to manage the heat coming from a hot end, I'm definitely trying this but with a stepper motor instead of a drill XD
Try it, it will work
Did you try it?
How did it go?
I loved the video! Very good print quality! I have a question, in how many seconds does the Main Spool make a complete turn?
10-12 meters filament about 15 minutes
Оригинально :)
Thanks 😀
@@lets_makefo3
This is a really nice, simple design. Appears quite effective too. Do you limit your runs to the lengths you get from a single bottle or do you fuse multiple lengths together to run a larger amount of filament at a time?
About 10-12 meters, yet not found way to join, he break on joint
I think you can do the filament fuser technique using the ptfe tube and a heat gun
I try it, but breaks when pull..
@@lets_make Instead on a single piece being pulled I wonder if pulling on multiple smaller pieces at the same time would work. So instead of one 10mm wide piece of tape what about three 3mm pieces pulled through at once? If one is shorter than the other 2 you MIGHT be able to add a new one in if they are twisted together (like rope) just before they are pulled into the heater causing all 3 to be fused together into 1 filament. This way you could, in theory, keep feeding shorter pieces in and having a single, long piece coming out. This is something I have been thinking about for a while now and I'm slowly getting all the pieces together. My goal is slightly different in that I want to do it ALL with stuff I already have laying around and not have to buy a single item to do this, The one part holding me back is the puller motor. I know I have an old 12V cordless drill around somewhere that has a very high torque/low speed setting that should work perfectly but I just cannot remember where I put it. Once I find it I should be good to go and will start testing my plan out.
I tried with two parts and it doesn't work, the material separates, it's quite fragile to join, maybe with a higher temperature...
Great idea! Do you have the STL plans for the drill driven drum. Would love to give this a go!
Yes, www.thingiverse.com/thing:5200645

Hello, how are you? I congratulate you, it is a great contribution! I am your fan from today onwards. I wanted to ask you the specifications of the silicone gun , I want to buy one.
Thanks.Great, you?😀 Here on this link :www.aliexpress.com/item/32812813712.html
you are a genius !!! your are my hero ! i think since a long time to do that, but im not good... Where can i find your winding plastic gear ? I think i can reproduce more easily this project !
Thanks, here is link www.thingiverse.com/thing:5200645
i also thought this idea and searched and found only this video 😀cool!
Thanks 😀
A few questions. 1) bottles seem like a small amount of material, how do you splice them together to make a bigger roll of material. 2) what sort of settings do you use to print this material?
I didn't find a solution for connecting the material, it's shooting, you have a lot of videos on TH-cam how to set up pet materials settings.
This is brilliant and low cost !! ❤️❤️ Can you share the 3d parts that needs to be printed i want also to recycle and turn scrap plastic into a new usefull
Thanks ,See in comments for link
Did yiu manage to glue or melt the cut Bet plastic from multiple bottles? That would make the extrusion of the filament substationaly easier.
Brilliant man
I never got this Idea before
Thanks 😀
bro I thought about this type of pet pull and did smth like that (just took useless glue gun and pull pet stripe by hand) and it came out great, it was so fun! so I searched for something similar to my idea and found your video, great work!
Great go ahead, Thank you 😃
hey i tried this same project but when i pull the plastic it turns out folded but not combined. how long did you heat up your glue gun for?
Round 220°C
Very impressive. That glue gun really looks powerful.
Are the uses of the filament afterwards very good compred to PLA and others?
Yes, its better
This is one of the best videos on the subject! Where did you get the parts?
Great job Sir, can you explain the process, wich glue gun do you use (small, big, wich temperature)? What is the speed of the wheel which collect the filament ? The 3d file of the system wheels is available on your channel?
gears www.thingiverse.com/thing:5200645
glue gun :www.aliexpress.com/item/32812813712.html
the temperature is at the maximum 100w of the glue gun
the rotation speed you set yourself depends on your drill
@@lets_make ok, thanks a lot for all these informations. It will help me, that's what I look for, for making pet filament by myself. A simple method. Thanks again, wish you the best
This is the best I’ve seen. Please can you tell me where you get the white rolling up device with the gears on it.
Thanks, here www.thingiverse.com/thing:5200645
Great video, where can I get the STL file for the filament spool and gears?

How did you get the 1.75mm aperture? what was the part you were printing?
That is genius using the glue gun! +1 Sub
by drilling with a 1.5mm drill bit
This would be a great deal for me, i dont mind the time it will take, as i am havig a hard time to get my hands on some filament, have a question if you do not mind, ¿how do you control the temperature from the glue gun?; i have used many glue guns in my maker life and if the glue sticks burn so easily, what is preventing the pet from burning?
Thanks for sharing this, it made my life easier
Hi, he does not melt the filament but bends it with a small gap
Would have been nice to know what you were printing 😢😢
Great job 👏
Thanks 🙏🏻
Thanks, here 😃www.thingiverse.com/thing:5212231
Спасибо! Интересная идея
Welcome! 😀
гениально!
подскажите пожалуйста
каким способом можно такие ленты из ПЭТ проталкивать в клеевый пистолет чтобы использовать его в качестве 3д ручки ?
Not tested on 3D pen yet..
Температуры клеевого пистолета хватит только на размягчение PET, 3D ручка из него не получится.
Однако, с PLA может сработать. Проталкивать надо будет вручную (либо колхозить механизм подачи из электродвигателя и прижимных роликов)
당신은 천재다
Thanks 😀
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
You have a lot of videos on youtube how to adjust pet filament settings.
Hello friend nice idea ,I like it😍. I want to ask you how do you connect the drill with the gear? What dimeter is the axis used .Can I put a simple iron silinder in the gear? Or for gears do I need something special,thank you
Thanks, M5 treaded rod
here is part for drill use small gear: www.thingiverse.com/thing:1647797
really awseome thanks for making this....great video
Welcome! 😀
This is actually really smart, i can finally make filament without buying extra pieces
Thanks
Where can we find the files to print the same machine? Thank you for this awesome video, I'll try this!
Currently planning to buy a DC gear motor 12v what rpm do you recommend ?
Bay with reductor with small rpm
Did you use any adapters for the glue gun to get it to like the size needed for 3d printer?
no
@@lets_make interesting… is there another guide for your glue gun then? Since I don’t think mine would be capable of making 3d printer filament

Amazing man! You deserve more views
Thanks 😃
Hello, can I ask how long you heated up the glue gun for? I have the same glue gun and used the same steel tip but when it comes out it is folded rather then combined.
what is the width of the tape when you cut the bottle?
@@lets_make I think about a centimetre. I tried it at around 10 min heating time at 220 degrees celsius and it worked better, but the filament didn't fully combine in a loop, only some parts were bonded most were just folded.
Could you please provide the stl files for the gears of the drill? This is so dope!
www.thingiverse.com/thing:5200645
BRILLIANT!

This is the easiest way to get filament thank you

Is the gun 20W, 40W, 60W?
How many millimeters do you cut the plastic and it's always the same measure for all kinds of plastic thickness?
What's the diameter of the nozzle of the hot gun?
Congratulations on the video!
100w, about 9mm-10mm-11mm depend of thickness nozzle is m12 this week will put video about how make nozzle
Thanks 😀
question, can i use 1.5mm drill bit to make the size of the filament and use it on ender 3? cause i dont find any tutorial or video on the internet that ender 3 use 1.5mm filament
Maybe, when you use 1.5 filament as it comes out of the nozzle it widens a bit around 1.55mm 1.60mm just increase the flow while printing
@@lets_make ok will try
How about change the printer so it can print directly from the bottom strips? Here in California, a bottle is worth more than filament for its deposit, so no point to do this here, but in other places where filament isn't available, great simple solution.
Do you have a link for the download of the STL files for the gear mechanism to wind the filament?
Yes, www.thingiverse.com/thing:5200645
How was the glue gun altered to get filament with the right diameter?
instead of the nozzle, a piece of threaded rod m10 drilled with a 1.5mm drill bit.
@@lets_make thanks! I'll be trying this myself soon
@@timfalken3886 you're welcome 😀
@@lets_make So the filament expands when it cools or do you have to set the printer to over extrude 16%?
@@Dan-su5ep It is expanded, you have to set the slicer diameter to 1.65
Does it matter what kind of bottle you use? Some PET bottles are thicker than others, would it matter how thick the plastic is on the bottle?
For thicker bottles you must calibrate bottle cutter 11,12,13mm height.
Great job 👏 👍 👌
Thanks 😀😀
About how much filament did it take to print the gear assembly and spool housing
Pretty damn cool idea, what would have been the cherry on top would be you printing a bottle in vase mode ^^
Still, very inspiring =)
Thanks 😀
Do you know where to get these gears or what the speed of the spool should be spinning so I can make my own gears. Thanks
Can you explain the process . the components needed what sort of nozzle are you using where do I get it. stuff like that
See another video on channel 😀
Brilliant ! 👌👌🌹
Thanks 😃
Perhaps it could roll directly on to an empty/old filament spool.
Maybe, but in this way is much increase power.
Im sorry but what model glue gun did you use? Mine has a weird funnel system that blocks things from going directly through.

Hi,
Di You have any website for parts listing and how to ?
Thx
www.thingiverse.com/thing:5200645
Are you melting the plastic bottle stripes into the Filament diameter???
Diametar is 1.55mm
Do you have video that shows how to make the cutter with bearings pls
No..
A que temperatura imprimis ese petg para que extruya bien
Pullstruder 210C, extruder 255-260C
Would be nice to show how u made the gear shaft stand
You mean pullstruder?
how hot does your glue gun get? Says online that PET melts at ~260C and standard glue guns usually heat to ~130C
This glue gun hot about 200C, pet does not melt but bends.
Merci infiniment!!!.
you're welcome
how do you manage to get the correct diameter?
Hole is 1.5mm

i brought a glue gun and took it apart only to find it didnt use the same tech as yours. ,mine didnt have a central hole to pas the wire through. could you tell me ur glue gun brand ?
You need to drill hole inside , 5mm diametar drill
what's the cutter height? do you get consistently a 1.75mm filament?
Around 1.7mm , depends of thi kness bottle.
Thank you for video.=)
Welcome!
in 1:41 what are you using to pull the PET cord?
copper wire with a hole drilled at the top 1mm
how fast is the drill going? i might buy a dc motor to use instead of my drill and then use a tea candle to heat the screw up...
Use motor from old cordlees drill with switch than use ziptie to adjute speed small speed better bending filament
hi , good job) what did you use for the 1.75 tape thickness converter inside the hot gun ? Thanks!
hi, threaded road convert to nozzle diameter 1.5mm
@@lets_make Thanks a lot🙂👍
I didn't know that a glue gun gets hot enough to melt PET. What is the wattage of that glue gun? I'd love to give this a try.
100w 😀
Its not...its hollow...it wont work for larger diameter filaments
@@gvcjbf1266 could you simply adjust the flow rate to compensate for that? Stefan at CNC kitchen did something similar, if I remember correctly
@@makermania182 not really..you would have to tinker with temperature too
@@gvcjbf1266 it does you'll just have to increase the flow rate from the slicer to compensate for that hollowness..
