This video shows how to recycle and use Pet bottle filament using the Recreator MK5. I’ll make one last video on using the bottle cutter and printing a larger recycled filament print.
Something that works for me, to remove glue sticks on bottles, is to rub Sunflower seed oil on the glue and the stickers, the oil disolves the glue and leaves a gel like substance thats not sticky and you can just wipe of.
Wanna share a quite effective way of removing glue residue after stickers. Works great for glass jars and bottles at least, maybe will work for plastics. Take a cotton disc or a sponge you don't care about, pour some vegetable oil on it, and add some baking soda on top. And you just carefully take that and wipe on the place where the glue is. At first it sticks a bit, but after a bit glue begins to come off easier, and eventually it removes the glue completely and leaves no scratches. After that you obviously wash the oil away and there you have it
I have a question, that can make the pet filament get a better quality, why didn't you use a bottle cutter you can find an stl file of it in thingerverse or printables?

That's really amazing
@MrPercussionperson thank you friend! 🙌🏾🙏🏽
Great video thanks for sharing it
@inventadordehistorias thank you thanks for watching! 👍🏾
use the bottles and print a new bottle that might actually look pretty cool and more solid
You should make the cutter with bearings.
@bluewafflesrcks i tried it didnt have much success but ima try that method again! 🙌🏾
Yeah, doing it eye will make inconsistent filament and potentially a ribbon that will just NOT pull through the nozzle.

@nemorianderson thank you for the tips friend! im always learing and I appreciate any method or techniques to make any of these processes easier 🙌🏾🙏🏽!
WD-40 works even better and faster.
