FLL Team MC^2: Plastic Bottle to Filament
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ต.ค. 2021
- This is our team's process of a plastic bottle, shredding, making filament, and using the filament to create a 3D printed object.
We have updated a lot of our design for portability and efficiency.
This video shows how to build our newest model • Bottle to 3D Printer F...
Many of our items used can be found on Amazon: www.amazon.com/shop/momsofpow.... We are currently working on posting our models and directions to build.

Genius
It's eco friendly & money saving at the same time
Thank you! We were able to combine this with the shredder in order to make a more portable model and have a video showing the update.
21k views! Keep up the good work! Good luck!
Thanks! We appreciate the encouragement.
I'm curious about the feeding principle of your filament extruder. Is the filament extruding itself? If you pull through the extruder, can it break due to the heat?
The filament is being pulled through the hot end via a motor and controlled by a programed Arduino computer.
I dont know why I'm so over obsessed with covering bottles into filament lmao
We are TOO!
Can you weld the plastic strips together so you can make bigger spools?
Yes, this is exactly what we do - in fact we use a small tea light candle to do so safely and quickly. We will work on creating a short demo video.
Hello. What driildit you use for the nozzle? 1.5-1.6mm?
1.75mm but we would recommend using a smaller one. When you try to join the two filaments together, the 1.75mm made the filament bigger and more likely to jam.
@@FLLTeamMC2 THANK YOU.
Hello. A have two question, how do you join two PET filaments together, and at what speed do you print the PET filament. Thanks.
We have a video on our site about joining the two filaments together. Speed - I will be sure to get a team member to reply to you with the answer.
@@FLLTeamMC2 Waiting and thanks a lot.
For print speeds: please see this video th-cam.com/video/LkYPKktR6BY/w-d-xo.html
very good
Thanks
Can you tell me how much volt are you using? I am doing it manually
We are using 12 Volt because we RAMPS 1.4 shield board
Hi how and where you make the stepper motor connections ?
Thank you for your question. We are currently working on uploading the schematics to our team website. Once this is uploaded we will let you know.
@@FLLTeamMC2 Cant wait. Ive been researching how to make these for a bit and your parts list is the most complete ive seen.
We believe what you are looking for can be found on our website: sites.google.com/view/fll-robotics-teammc2/innovation-project
hey i'm a student and i have a lot of question about the nema 17 motor and the gears if u can help me with the mathematics calculation pls
We did not come up with the gear box, we found it on another TH-camr's video. It is the way it is because the plastic isn't molten, so it take a lot of force to pull the plastic through the hot end. The TH-cam we used has been linked in previous comments. Best of luck on building one - cannot wait to hear about it.
Hello. What power supply do you use?
The power supply we use, as well as other items, are listed on our website: sites.google.com/view/fll-robotics-teammc2/innovation-project/shopping-list. We found this 24V power supply to work quite nicely. www.amazon.com/dp/B06XJVYDDW?ref=exp_momsofpoway_dp_vv_d&th=1
at which temp you put the hot e nd??
235 c in the filament creator, printing 256 c when printing on a 3D printer bed - when 3D printing - run it slow.
It is Petpull
What is the diameter of the nozzle?

Hey whats the name of the heater
Here is a listing of a number of the materials we use, including the heater. www.amazon.com/shop/momsofpoway/list/1T428NYQPME3K
how come nobody shows steps to do these?
we are a competition robotics team for 9 to 14 year olds, we are currently working on updating this content. But you will find some information on our website and future videos to come.sites.google.com/view/fll-robotics-teammc2/home
We have some how-to videos posted now that we have improved our design. Although not everything is posted yet, you can visit the playlist to see the series we have started. th-cam.com/play/PLTJoJqPE1dKbNU9XARQXSMANma_RAjSS7.html
О PETPull однако.:))
man, you should've printed a bottle :)
Yes, we thought the same. Our first print was actually phone stands to use while meeting with industry professionals virtually, as well as to give away as thank you's to business sponsors.
petpull ?
Plz help me making plz 🥺
we are working on it. As a competitive robotics team, ages 9 to 14 years old, we are working as fast as we can to get more information out, as well as redesigning a small footprint printer for easier use at home.

@@FLLTeamMC2 i have made it but wanted to control using ram up shild have a issue in that coding
we use the RepRap RAMPS 1.4 shield board
