what if you have this set up to make the 2.8 filament and then weld it and then run it and decrease the size to 1.75 filament for a stronger joint and bigger rolls of filament
This is incredible! Have you tried integrating the bottle slicer into the machine? I see this as being an amazing semi-interactive technology/art display for science centers or museums having a whole system going in line -- bottle being cut, turned into filament, and fed right into a printer. Might have to try messing around with it!
It's an amazing small filament factory at home haha Yeah, I already made this kind of slicer and works great! You can check my IG reels or YT shorts where I create for example Coca-Cola bottle from Coca-Cola bottle (bottleception haha) using this upgrade. I slowly develop my project and just a small step left to make your idea happen! Worth to try for sure! Thank you for your support!
This is amazing! Imagine if we could take all the plastic from the ocean and turn it into 3dp filament!! Keep up the great work! You deserve 1,000,000 subs, you are one closer!

I want to challenge my students to learn how recycle old prints or bottles and to make their own filament. This is a really inspiring video.

I love it! If I may suggest an improvement, try to make it into one machine: 1st level - a grinder for grinding bottles to flakes. 2nd level - a hopper funnel that collects the flakes into one heating "pot" 3rd level - an injection nozzel that outputs the fillament!

Hello! Thank you for your great comment! Yes quality of the filament will be better, but cost will be 5-10 times higher. I prepare my project especially to be affordable and easy to make for even the beginner.
@@AVMMM That's an idea, but moving the flakes through the hot end/nozzle is tricky and that's what makes it a bit more expensive. In the plastics business (I'm going back 25 years ago, when I was an embedded systems engineer for the plastics industry), we'd use a screw extruder to push pellets, or flakes of ground up product (that was at a dairy, where gallon jugs that failed in production could be re-used). The best way to feed is pellets, of course - some consistent shape provides the best movement. The whole process was a big bigger in scale, of course. The key to reclamation is in the extrusion system.
The green vase looks perfect as the print lines make it look almost iridescent! For the clear one, have you tried using a heat gun to smooth out the lines, and see if that increases transparency? Would be interesting to test
Fantastic project and it even looks professional without any wires showing. I think an added feature, to make this perfect, would be an rpm counter for consistency of the final filament.
it is not an rpm controller that need to be used but a feedback loop with a sensor that mesure thickness of the strand and adjust motor speed. It increases cost but is a needed feature to be able to use different pet bottles without problems.
ITS BEAUTIFUL ! who would have thought that instead to throw in the garbage the plastic bottles we will be able to convert them into useful filament at home ! i love it !

Kardeşim benim. Yazıların en sonra türkçe olduğunu görünce anladım türk olduğunu. Harika bir proje harika bir çekim kalitesi. Gerçekten eline emeğine sağlık dostum. İzlerken aşırı keyif aldım. Senin gibi insanların aramızda hala var olduğunu bilmek bana çok mutluluk veriyor.
The best project in its segment. You did not think about the fact that the thread could be made continuous, that it would be possible to refill several bottles.
It would be interesting to see if your machine could handle polyethylene bottles, and you could 3d print it. Here in North America, we tend to have deposits on pop bottles, but not on a wide variety of large polyethylene bottles. I understand polyethylene requires higher temperatures, more like ABS.
Printing temperatur of the HDPE(polyethylene) vary from 230 to 260 celsius degrees, so quite the same like PET. I think processing this kind of bottle in my machine could be possible, but I will need to make some tests. At the earliest opportunity I will try to do it! Thank You for Your comment and making me curious!
I made some tests, HDPE is more soft and ductile. It was more demanding during cutting, but it was possible to make it, further processing due to material characteristic is almost impossible. Like @7CConstitution said, it's like bubble gum.
This is just amazing work. Well done! In germany we have a system where we return plastic bottles so they can be recycled. But there are many bottles that are one use only. These could be greatly used for this. Keep it up bro And i would guess that the third vase isnt from a bottle ^^
Thank You so much for Your great comment. Yes I was aware that in some countries it's not worth it to process the bottles in this way, because there is "return system", but many countries don't support this system and instead of throwing away the bottles we can recycle it in so efficient way taking into account we make it at home!
@@curryking7663 Yes you can return every bottle but there is still a lot of non reusable bottles that get taken back just to be destroyed. You return them just to seperate it more from the common trash.
and also unfortunately even the returned once are often burned for energy instead of recycled. there is a good arte documentation recently, can recommend to watch it. really sad that even exported plastic trash to other countries is considered "recycled" in the eyes of the law in germany.
This is really awsome work. Small ideas for enhancement: - Possibility to directly usa a empty filament-roll where it puts it on. Because I was astonished how well it puts it on. - Is there a way to easily combine multiple bottle-bands? So that we could make a 1kg filament-roll out of multiple bottles?
Thank You my friend, Your suggestions are very accurate. Im currently working on the cutter for the machine, the next thing is what You talking about, I will try to connect two string into one to be able to process many bottles at one, but it's a little bit challenging. In this case removable spool is neccesary to implement, but now when we procees one bottle, even if its super big removable spool is not that important.
@@TylmanDesign Thank you for your answer. So do I understand right, that if I buy your manual, ... foryl your idea/product now I will get your improvements your working (new .step files, manuals, ...) on later on for free?
This is how the future will work, with young people looking and working out a system that will work towards cleaning the environment 👍🏽👍🏽 unlike those who disrupt people’s lives and have no idea on how to clean and make the future sustainable. This young man worked out something that uses waste to be turned into something that can be used. Thank you for using brain power for good.
Thanks bro! For sure it is, specially when I create many prototypes and parts are going to the bin so frequently, so at least I can give one more life for a bottle haha
Your a Saint bro this is a great way to recycle u have something major here this will definitely be big one day I want to invest when I have enough money keep the great ideas coming 💘
Awesome, incredible job, you just won another buyer for the 3D Design, a suscriber. Awesome Job. Thank You for all your knowledge. I hope that more people like you comes with their own ideas and help Mother Earth.
It's awesome! One hint: adding mechanism with a weak spring to push it to one side when it's pulled to the spool. So your finger is obsolete then. Also what's a possible solution for connecting filament together for a whole spool?
Im happy that You like it! Please could You explain Your idea a little bit more? I'm curious, but I think I don't understand enough what You mean. Yes, that's my next biggest challenge, to connect many plastic strings, wind on a bigger spool and process it all! Connection have to be strong enough and not too thick to not affect on filament diameter in these parts. Of course there is easy way, to use PTFE tube and connect processed parts of filament into one long, but this solution doesn't make me fulfilled. Now I'm working on the cutter module, I have to make it the most simply as I can, that all people even without special tools can make it easily. Designing in a way to allow people even with no experience make everything by their own is pretty challenging but so satisfying! When I will figure it out how to connect plastic strings efficiency, next useful thing will be removable spool, now when we process just one bottle, even really big one removable spool is not that important, but later will be necessary.
@@TylmanDesign I really appreciate your answer a lot! The spool is not removable? I guess that'll be easy when attaching the gear fully to the spool even when printing with it. Shouldn't be a problem for someone making his own filament to print out a couple of spools with the gears on them! For making longer raw spools I guess, you can make something like an heatable clamp (like for making curly hairs). In one side you put one end of a raw material and on the other side another end of another raw material. Then you press the heated clamps (with the material on each side) together and by this fuse the two ends together. Probably you can use non flat clamps. I don't know. For the spooling mechanism you might use a small pressing lever with a light spring which pulls or pushes the lever in one direction (like your finger in the video). THis helps for one direction. And because the spring is sooo light it might even be pressed to the side by the material when it winds itself on the spool side by side. So it would be "actively helping" in the direction you helped with your finger and would just be pushed back when the material would be rolled on the roll in the other direction. So the spring would be parallel to the axis of the filament roll and just push/pull like your finger. I wish you all the best with this awesome project! And by making it open source you're giving so much to the world!
May I suggest a simple method to connect filaments? I dont know if this will work, just an idea. So, if there is some mechanism to pull back the filament little bit at the nozzle end, and one mechanism in front to insert the previous filament. I am hoping the two ends will melt inside the nozzle and when the spool pulls, it will be connected. A burst of higher temp may be required to properly melt and join both ends, then temp can be lowered to 200 and then the spool starts pulling. Please let me elaborate. when the temp reaches 200, you pull out little bit of filament, then cut clean at the nozzle mouth, now mechanism pulls back the string from back side, creating some space at the mouth end of nozzle. mechanism in front of mouth inserts the previous filament, and temp rises to 250, the back side mechanism which pulls back string, now pushes it a little into nozle to connect ends. then temp lowers and you continue as normal. I didnt understand any of your spool talks, but please address the weak spring idea, I think that is more important, as I felt having to aling filament on the spool all the time is just cumbersome. I think you need to substitute your finger with a mechanical part. maybe loaded with spring or perhaps static.

This is really neat work i am into 3d printing since early days and I must say your work is simple and commendable, good wishes to you for all of your upcoming projects.
this is very incredible. I didnt know plastic bottles material could be used for 3d printing machines until now. My friend and I are trying to jumpstart a 3d printing business and I think this could really cut costs meanwhile cleaning up some bottles off the street and making some money off it. pretty awesome.
I’ve seen several different videos displaying various methods for this DIY recycling process, but this one seems to be the most simplistic design I’ve seen so far. It’s also a relatively compact design, which is a huge plus in my book. I see some comments complaining about how much time it takes, but considering the advantages and the money saving potential, it’s a fair trade in my opinion. Given the fact that you have to use individual bottles for any of these methods, it’s obviously going to be time-consuming. To be honest, I think it’s a great way to pass the time while waiting for your prints to be completed. It’s also a great way to utilize materials that the majority of us use and (most likely) throw away every day. Thank you for the video! I will definitely be looking into implementing this design for myself! You also just got a new subscriber!
Hello Chris. I'm so glad you appreciate what I do. I really aimed to create a simple and affordable machine that anyone could easily build and use. Thank you for your nice words and subscription!
Great job! Perhaps you could waste a little less new filament by taking up the initial thread with a string instead of pulling it by hand. Then the machine could begin pulling at the proper rate as soon as the filament exits the heater.
Thank You so much for Your comment. Good point! I will try to make it asap! Coz it's a big saving of time and material, small improvement but really profitable.
@PumpiPoland I purchased REX-C100 (AC110-240V) from the url in the BOM of your project, but the linked store sent me REX-C100 that is only for 220V. Did you really receive REX-C100 for 110-240V from this store? Also, have you confirmed whether the stores you refer to in BOM are reliable?
Hello, really good point! Before it didn't have any comments, now I see that people receive 240V version not like in the title of the announcement 110-240V. I'm so sorry for it, Im not able to check every seller, I will change this link tomorrow and find reliable one! Thank you one more time and so sorry for this!
Genial materialización de una idea! Creo que la eficiencia de una parte y la protección de la naturaleza, por otra, se hacen realidad con personas como tu. Gracias por tu forma inteligente de reciclar!!
This is fantastic, really great job! I'm just wondering if there is a way to connect ribbons from different bottles together before feeding them to the heat block so we can have long strings from multiple bottles?
Thank you so much! Yes it's possible, I tried to do it using iron solder but it needs some more tests! It will be amazing to wind one big spool with strip and then just process it...

This would be a great thing to implement in recycling for cities. Someone could set up a service to do this and sell more affordable 3D filament, literally creating money out of thrash. Even if the quality would be worse, for prototyping where stuff can go wrong it's great. You could probably even throw it back into recycling since it's still PET.
I've seen a guy that did something similar but the cutting part would also be part and it would be cutting as it pulls in the plastic to make the filament. These machines are very useful for both helping with cost but also with recycling materials too.
well, I'm surprised to see all these Turkish labeled, made in Turkiye products :) great way to repurpose otherwise waste... good job Igor! and teşekkürler :)

Thanks bro for comment and support 🙌🏼 Im working on ready to assembly kit, but it need some time to be accomplished! All the best!
@@TylmanDesign I don't throw plastic bottles for years now , I badly need your kit Mr Igor you are a hero and a genius so please may you sell me one ASAP?
I wanted buy 3d printer and watching reviews video and this got suggested. Wow nicely done thnks for giving detailed explanation. It makes me happy that 3d printing community has bright people like you.
Thank You! So don't hesitate buy a printer and be the part of this community haha! It's amazing adventure.
@igortylman: little question out of interest: Wich 3D printer do you use? I would like to get one, but there is so much choice on the marker today, that i don’t know wich one to get… I don’t have any experience with 3d printing at this point 😅!
@@robbydenys1126 I use Ender 2 Pro and Ender 3 V2. If you are looking for budget printer I recommend you Ender 3 V2, the best value for money. If you are looking for something more reliable and better Prusa i3 MK3S+ or Bambu Lab X1 C will be amazing! Cheers!
@@TylmanDesign thx!
Expect an order from me soon. You made this 1000x more affordable for everyone who wants to try recycled materials.
Thank you so much! Affordable and beginner friendly - two main assumptions of this project!
Thats what I call DIY projects at its best. Amazing idea, thank you for sharing !
I'm so happy that you like it, project is especially prepared for other people to creat it easily at home! Thanks for your comment!
Nice Work Igor i benefited from your support it is really helpful for my project thank you and hope you all success
My pleasure Ahmad! Thank You for comment, wish You all the best!
You're amazing. That's what a DIY project should be. Very creative. Kudos for trying your best to save out environment. Also, the quality of the prints are amazing. Perfect job 👏🏻
Thank you for your wonderful comment! Yes I love this kind of DIY! I prepared this project especially for begginers, everything is designed to make it easy! Yes I was really impressed of the print quality, I hope everyone will see it in their home!
Kardeşim benim. Yazıların en sonra türkçe olduğunu görünce anladım türk olduğunu. Harika bir proje harika bir çekim kalitesi. Gerçekten eline emeğine sağlık dostum. İzlerken aşırı keyif aldım. Senin gibi insanların aramızda hala var olduğunu bilmek bana çok mutluluk veriyor.

The best project in its segment. You did not think about the fact that the thread could be made continuous, that it would be possible to refill several bottles.
It would be interesting to see if your machine could handle polyethylene bottles, and you could 3d print it. Here in North America, we tend to have deposits on pop bottles, but not on a wide variety of large polyethylene bottles. I understand polyethylene requires higher temperatures, more like ABS.
Printing temperatur of the HDPE(polyethylene) vary from 230 to 260 celsius degrees, so quite the same like PET. I think processing this kind of bottle in my machine could be possible, but I will need to make some tests. At the earliest opportunity I will try to do it! Thank You for Your comment and making me curious!
I just got HDPE bottle yesterday, soon I will test it 💪🏻
I made some tests, HDPE is more soft and
ductile. It was more demanding during cutting, but it was possible to make it, further processing due to material characteristic is almost impossible. Like @7CConstitution said, it's like bubble gum.
@@TylmanDesign amazing.
This is just amazing work. Well done!
In germany we have a system where we return plastic bottles so they can be recycled. But there are many bottles that are one use only. These could be greatly used for this.
Keep it up bro
And i would guess that the third vase isnt from a bottle ^^
Thank You so much for Your great comment. Yes I was aware that in some countries it's not worth it to process the bottles in this way, because there is "return system", but many countries don't support this system and instead of throwing away the bottles we can recycle it in so efficient way taking into account we make it at home!
Germany changed the system to every plastic bottle i think?
@@curryking7663 Yes you can return every bottle but there is still a lot of non reusable bottles that get taken back just to be destroyed. You return them just to seperate it more from the common trash.
and also unfortunately even the returned once are often burned for energy instead of recycled. there is a good arte documentation recently, can recommend to watch it. really sad that even exported plastic trash to other countries is considered "recycled" in the eyes of the law in germany.
Literweise Saft zu trinken deswegen macht aber auch irgendwie keinen Sinn ;D
This is really awsome work.
Small ideas for enhancement:
- Possibility to directly usa a empty filament-roll where it puts it on. Because I was astonished how well it puts it on.
- Is there a way to easily combine multiple bottle-bands? So that we could make a 1kg filament-roll out of multiple bottles?
Thank You my friend, Your suggestions are very accurate.
Im currently working on the cutter for the machine, the next thing is what You talking about, I will try to connect two string into one to be able to process many bottles at one, but it's a little bit challenging. In this case removable spool is neccesary to implement, but now when we procees one bottle, even if its super big removable spool is not that important.
@@TylmanDesign Thank you for your answer.
So do I understand right, that if I buy your manual, ... foryl your idea/product now I will get your improvements your working (new .step files, manuals, ...) on later on for free?
@@photelegy That's right! All updates included. I wish there will be many practical ones!
This is how the future will work, with young people looking and working out a system that will work towards cleaning the environment 👍🏽👍🏽 unlike those who disrupt people’s lives and have no idea on how to clean and make the future sustainable. This young man worked out something that uses waste to be turned into something that can be used. Thank you for using brain power for good.
Thank you very much for your comment! 🙌🏻
This revolutionizes the 3d printing industry!
It's really amazing dude. It can be a new way to recycle pet bottles 🔥👍
Thanks bro! For sure it is, specially when I create many prototypes and parts are going to the bin so frequently, so at least I can give one more life for a bottle haha
@@TylmanDesign definitely bro. Just you need to work on a bigger model than this. And it might be a game changer for industries
I wish this was available as a kit so anyone could build it in addition for their 3d printer!
Sale is starting December/January 🔥💪🏻
Your a Saint bro this is a great way to recycle u have something major here this will definitely be big one day I want to invest when I have enough money keep the great ideas coming 💘
Thank You for Your words, they are really supportive!
Awesome, incredible job, you just won another buyer for the 3D Design, a suscriber. Awesome Job. Thank You for all your knowledge.
I hope that more people like you comes with their own ideas and help Mother Earth.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Imagine feeding a future 3d printer plastic bottles directly. This is a good step in that direction
It's awesome!
One hint: adding mechanism with a weak spring to push it to one side when it's pulled to the spool. So your finger is obsolete then.
Also what's a possible solution for connecting filament together for a whole spool?
Im happy that You like it! Please could You explain Your idea a little bit more? I'm curious, but I think I don't understand enough what You mean.
Yes, that's my next biggest challenge, to connect many plastic strings, wind on a bigger spool and process it all! Connection have to be strong enough and not too thick to not affect on filament diameter in these parts.
Of course there is easy way, to use PTFE tube and connect processed parts of filament into one long, but this solution doesn't make me fulfilled. Now I'm working on the cutter module, I have to make it the most simply as I can, that all people even without special tools can make it easily.
Designing in a way to allow people even with no experience make everything by their own is pretty challenging but so satisfying!
When I will figure it out how to connect plastic strings efficiency, next useful thing will be removable spool, now when we process just one bottle, even really big one removable spool is not that important, but later will be necessary.
@@TylmanDesign I really appreciate your answer a lot!
The spool is not removable? I guess that'll be easy when attaching the gear fully to the spool even when printing with it. Shouldn't be a problem for someone making his own filament to print out a couple of spools with the gears on them!
For making longer raw spools I guess, you can make something like an heatable clamp (like for making curly hairs). In one side you put one end of a raw material and on the other side another end of another raw material. Then you press the heated clamps (with the material on each side) together and by this fuse the two ends together. Probably you can use non flat clamps. I don't know.
For the spooling mechanism you might use a small pressing lever with a light spring which pulls or pushes the lever in one direction (like your finger in the video). THis helps for one direction. And because the spring is sooo light it might even be pressed to the side by the material when it winds itself on the spool side by side. So it would be "actively helping" in the direction you helped with your finger and would just be pushed back when the material would be rolled on the roll in the other direction. So the spring would be parallel to the axis of the filament roll and just push/pull like your finger.
I wish you all the best with this awesome project!
And by making it open source you're giving so much to the world!
May I suggest a simple method to connect filaments? I dont know if this will work, just an idea.
So, if there is some mechanism to pull back the filament little bit at the nozzle end, and one mechanism in front to insert the previous filament. I am hoping the two ends will melt inside the nozzle and when the spool pulls, it will be connected. A burst of higher temp may be required to properly melt and join both ends, then temp can be lowered to 200 and then the spool starts pulling. Please let me elaborate. when the temp reaches 200, you pull out little bit of filament, then cut clean at the nozzle mouth, now mechanism pulls back the string from back side, creating some space at the mouth end of nozzle. mechanism in front of mouth inserts the previous filament, and temp rises to 250, the back side mechanism which pulls back string, now pushes it a little into nozle to connect ends. then temp lowers and you continue as normal.
I didnt understand any of your spool talks, but please address the weak spring idea, I think that is more important, as I felt having to aling filament on the spool all the time is just cumbersome. I think you need to substitute your finger with a mechanical part. maybe loaded with spring or perhaps static.

Wspaniale Igor! Gratuluję!
Dziękuję bardzo!
This is really neat work i am into 3d printing since early days and I must say your work is simple and commendable, good wishes to you for all of your upcoming projects.
Thank You so much! Yes, I tried to make easy to assembly design that everyone can creat it and have fun from.
this is very incredible. I didnt know plastic bottles material could be used for 3d printing machines until now. My friend and I are trying to jumpstart a 3d printing business and I think this could really cut costs meanwhile cleaning up some bottles off the street and making some money off it. pretty awesome.
Glad you like it! Thanks
I’ve seen several different videos displaying various methods for this DIY recycling process, but this one seems to be the most simplistic design I’ve seen so far. It’s also a relatively compact design, which is a huge plus in my book. I see some comments complaining about how much time it takes, but considering the advantages and the money saving potential, it’s a fair trade in my opinion. Given the fact that you have to use individual bottles for any of these methods, it’s obviously going to be time-consuming. To be honest, I think it’s a great way to pass the time while waiting for your prints to be completed. It’s also a great way to utilize materials that the majority of us use and (most likely) throw away every day. Thank you for the video! I will definitely be looking into implementing this design for myself! You also just got a new subscriber!
Hello Chris. I'm so glad you appreciate what I do. I really aimed to create a simple and affordable machine that anyone could easily build and use. Thank you for your nice words and subscription!
dude this is sick just liked and subbed and i will be sharing this nicely done Bro
Thank You so much bro, I really appreciate it!
Great job! Perhaps you could waste a little less new filament by taking up the initial thread with a string instead of pulling it by hand. Then the machine could begin pulling at the proper rate as soon as the filament exits the heater.
Thank You so much for Your comment. Good point! I will try to make it asap! Coz it's a big saving of time and material, small improvement but really profitable.
Incredible idea and great execution of it! I can see this making a huge positive difference in the world. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!

I purchased REX-C100 (AC110-240V) from the url in the BOM of your project, but the linked store sent me REX-C100 that is only for 220V.
Did you really receive REX-C100 for 110-240V from this store? Also, have you confirmed whether the stores you refer to in BOM are reliable?
Hello, really good point! Before it didn't have any comments, now I see that people receive 240V version not like in the title of the announcement 110-240V. I'm so sorry for it, Im not able to check every seller, I will change this link tomorrow and find reliable one! Thank you one more time and so sorry for this!

Thanks!
This is fantastic, really great job! I'm just wondering if there is a way to connect ribbons from different bottles together before feeding them to the heat block so we can have long strings from multiple bottles?
Thank you so much! Yes it's possible, I tried to do it using iron solder but it needs some more tests! It will be amazing to wind one big spool with strip and then just process it...
An amazing and practical project. Thanks for sharing and making available. :)

Great innovation.
1. Environmental friendly
2. Every q can afford very cheap plastic for 3d printing.
3. Will reduce lots of waste in the ocean
🙌🏻
This is an example of recycle
Its only free if you get the bottles for free, and you don't value your time.
Maybe not free, but you still recycle things you would have otherwise just thrown to the trash into filament

Thats a lot of work when you can buy nerdles very inexpensively. I do applaud the effort to use plastic bottles!
you sir are a true innovatour.. Wery wery well done. Clever man got my respect.
This would be a great thing to implement in recycling for cities. Someone could set up a service to do this and sell more affordable 3D filament, literally creating money out of thrash.
Even if the quality would be worse, for prototyping where stuff can go wrong it's great.
You could probably even throw it back into recycling since it's still PET.
Great idea. Thanks for the video!

I've seen a guy that did something similar but the cutting part would also be part and it would be cutting as it pulls in the plastic to make the filament. These machines are very useful for both helping with cost but also with recycling materials too.
Really nice job! Fully professional.
Can you imagine a future where PET bottles are scarce because they are so valuable for making filament?
