Absolutely incredible design ! I love how compact and somewhat simple it is, in comparison with other machines with the same functionality. What is even more astonishing is that this design is almost 8 years old and it is still looks and performs better than the modern ones !
Love the simplicity!! This is the type of extrusion device. That should be shown in elementary, junior and high schools. The first time I saw an industrial extruder I was hooked....
I don't have any 3D printer but I can see how your work will help a lot of good people out there. Too bad there will always be few bad ones who will take advantages from it. Great video. Thanks.
You can use your current extruder, just add the additional assemblies. Right now the tolerance is about +/- 0.10mm. I hope improve that with a resizing die. A manual is about finished.
Lovely video. Personally I don't think you need any wire management. neat, sensible, visible wiring like yours is easier to maintain over time than tightly harnessed wiring. you have no vibration issues to protect against. Anyway - terrific vid. most educational.
With the current setup shown here, what is the standard deviation? I built your V2 and have been loving it.... Aside from trying to get and keep the perfect size. Thanks Lyman!
Does the water cooling rig cause any issues with the filament produced? I was under the impression that ABS / PLA filament was extremely hydrophilic and water / excess moisture would make the filament brittle and awkward. do you have to do some kind of post-processing on the spooled filament to remove the excess moisture?
It absorbs water over a Long period of time, but a quick bath flash cools the plastic and the excess water evaporates with the leftover heat in the filament. On a different note, water on the surface of pellets going Into the extruder will produce potholes and ramen, due flash boiling of the water at the point of extrusion.
The tensioner design must be different. It's rubbing the roller and all chips are falling on the free filament. After water cooling the filament remains wet?
Most of the water that comes in contact with the filament evaporates. See my guide: medium.com/endless-filament/make-your-filament-at-home-for-cheap-6c908bb09922
Sir, I guess you are working on some way of electronically counting the length of the accumulated extrusion to eliminate the fishing reel threading step. Is it feasible to push the extrusion along a V channel into a receiving aperture in the hub of the spool which would begin to wind when a sensor detects it? I am envious of your skills.
I love your extruder. I was just wondering: what kind of material is the insulation plate which separates the hot metal parts from your ABS printed base made from?
cool project :), what's the minimum speed for the motor ? I see from coupler 6 rotation for 22 seconds ? I want to use 12V DC Gear motor 20RPM, how do you reckon ? thanks
Hi, can you send me yours' pictures if u have built? I'm trying to build one right now. So yours may be an inspiration and a big help for me. Thanks. Bildik.27@yandex.com
Hi Hugh Lyman, I have a question. I would also like to build such a filament extruder. Can she me all links send where I all material buy can? Thanks in advance
THAT is a cool project!Getting ready to buy my 1st printer.I've never priced or looked into it,but are the pellets a lot cheaper than filament?Are they readily available?I'm guessing you could recycle old plastic too?Than You for sharing this!BTW,you gained a sub!
Dear sir, My self "Mamun", i'm from Bangladesh...Sir,what is the main shaft motor size & power rating...& what speed controller you used for this motor..
No, water absorption happens over long period of time. When filament is cooked with water, most of it evaporates after coming in the contact with hot plastic, see my guide: medium.com/endless-filament/make-your-filament-at-home-for-cheap-6c908bb09922
hi. my name is azerie. i am interested to make this filament extruder, but it is a problem for me to get all the parts especially the motor. may i know what other option can i use? if possible can you give me the minimum speed and torque for the motor. tq very much

A brilliant and simple idea !!!
the 3d printing community thanks you
Mr. Lyman
Not sure why this got recommended to me, but it was certainly an interesting watch
Zero waste..! Bravo sir....We need more of these but not at the FilaBot price.!
I don't have any 3D printer but I can see how your work will help a lot of good people out there. Too bad there will always be few bad ones who will take advantages from it. Great video. Thanks.
You're an inspiration. Way to apply yourself and improve the world with your talent. I think I will try to build this.
And did you tried ? if so, what is the result?
@@drolett so did it worked?
Here's the one I made: th-cam.com/video/Xirli3qDJlU/w-d-xo.html 5kg per hour output
Congratulations, finally someone who knows what they are doing
The nicest diy extruder i have seen for 3d print filament
I hope when I'm this dude's age I'm still doing cool stuff like this.
Then never stop

Please you can share the materials
For made it. edwings664@gmail.com
How is the current version running? Any updates?
been looking for a good home made filament maker for ages. great job
Awesome.smart,i am happy seeing people doing practical things.all my respect sir.
Inspirational! Well done, Hugh.
Спасибо вам за вашу работу , здоровья вам !
Thank you for your work, health to you!
the fishing reel idea was nice.and the hopper weight is also good.
Very nice, thanks for sharing. I'm getting into 3D printing, CNC router and extruder next projects.
Greetings from Spain, YOU ROCK SIR!! This is awesome and also so kind for sharing. Thank you very much Mr Lyman
You're one of the world's good people.
Lovely video.

great auto weight pressure feeder. impressed!
Espectacular proyecto, enhorabuena.
Really awesome project and low cost! Congrats!
best soundtrack on the internet imo - cool spooler/extruder bud!
the fishing reel is genius lol
did very nice work. it this machine show your talent and your hard work.
how do you check the filanent's diameter? i don't see any feedback system to correct the diameter if it fluctuates
Thank You for showing us , thiongs can still be made in a shop.
How do you calculate the puller motor rpm respective to the extrusion screw rpm. I'm stuck on this
Muy buen diseño, Cada elemento que uso están bien integrados. La parte de enfriamiento por agua genial. Gracias por subir tu excelente trabajo.
I have NO words!!!!!!!
I would like to know how much this machine will cost you and what kind of plastic can be inserted in it?
Well done, keep them going, love the music.
Claasssyyy design. And lunatic music so delicious
With the current setup shown here, what is the standard deviation?
I built your V2 and have been loving it.... Aside from trying to get and keep the perfect size.
Thanks Lyman!
How precision is that filament. If want 1,75 mm, will I get it?
Sorry for my English.
You can get within plus minus 0.02-0.03, see medium.com/endless-filament/make-your-filament-at-home-for-cheap-6c908bb09922
What is the consistancy of the filament size over a run? Are you running 2.0 or 2.5mm ?
AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME!
What was the product name of the ABS you made the filament and how much was the temperature of the extruder set?
Great machine! super-compact and slick
Where is the extruder from? What type of extruder is this?
This is amazing! Please tell me where you get your pellets as I have not found pellets for cheap anywhere.
What motors and other parts were used in the making of this machine?
Does the water cooling rig cause any issues with the filament produced? I was under the impression that ABS / PLA filament was extremely hydrophilic and water / excess moisture would make the filament brittle and awkward.
do you have to do some kind of post-processing on the spooled filament to remove the excess moisture?

Intelligent idea,
Thanks for sharing
What about using shredded plastic bits made from waste. In that way, plastic could be recycled to make 3d printing filament.
that was REALLY COOL !
some parts of the machine, looks like they were made by a 3D printer
This is beautiful!
what a awesome build wow
After 6 years, still working, have improvements?
The tensioner design must be different. It's rubbing the roller and all chips are falling on the free filament. After water cooling the filament remains wet?
Most of the water that comes in contact with the filament evaporates. See my guide: medium.com/endless-filament/make-your-filament-at-home-for-cheap-6c908bb09922
Did this get onto thingiverse?
have you tried using shredded prints mixed with new material? Ive been wondering how realistic recycling old prints would be
Hello sir
My machine gives filament with air bubble but don't know why. I am using abs granuals
Hugh, where are you getting you plastic and what grade do you find works best?
Sir, I guess you are working on some way of electronically counting the length of the accumulated extrusion to eliminate the fishing reel threading step. Is it feasible to push the extrusion along a V channel into a receiving aperture in the hub of the spool which would begin to wind when a sensor detects it? I am envious of your skills.
Can the filament cooler work with air instead of water?
Which type of plastic material you use to make this filament.....
Please answer
I love the fact that you are using soothing music, but please allow for some different music from video to video, LOVE THE EXTRUDER :)
Have you tried yet with ground up prints?
I love your extruder. I was just wondering: what kind of material is the insulation plate which separates the hot metal parts from your ABS printed base made from?
cool project :), what's the minimum speed for the motor ? I see from coupler 6 rotation for 22 seconds ?
I want to use 12V DC Gear motor 20RPM, how do you reckon ?
thanks
Is it amazing, a question, did you use a VSF AC for the extruder and the puller ?? Or everything is DC current
hey how big should the hole of the nozzle be thank you in advance
hi
could you tell me how to use abs pellet with 180° write on your thermal sensor?
Parabéns...Deus sempre ilumine sua mente...para sair coisas assim
I imagined a 3D printer so big that it uses the Lyman Filament Extruder as a printer head.
What is the dimension of the extruder screw?
SOOO sastifying to watch, i will make one and I will do it by taking inspiration from yours, it is too perfect!
but not with water ;)
Did you make it and what was the result? thanks
@@KurdSmart not yet, i do not have time right now! May be this winter!!
Whenever you made it, gently reply with review
❤
Yeah for sure i will probably post a video!!
@@KurdSmart I made it already checkout: medium.com/endless-filament/make-your-filament-at-home-for-cheap-6c908bb09922 5kg per hour output
is there an update to this? what is needed to make this?
Intresting, how it is with accuracy.
Save this for the 3D printing Museum opening in Silicon Valley.
ZZP Zing Pheonix which museum
Very nice! I need to build one!
Where can I see the design of the extruder? Thank.
This is such amazing
I'm making my own version right now
Hi, can you send me yours' pictures if u have built? I'm trying to build one right now. So yours may be an inspiration and a big help for me. Thanks.
Bildik.27@yandex.com
which heater are u using?
Which is the torque of the extruder Mr. Lyman
what kind screw have you used for your extruder?
What is your motor torque ?
Grate work Sir! Thx!
Are you going to publish drawing of extruder itself or it is not open source anymore?
As the tensioner always pulls the filament, how accurate its diameter?

You've inspired me to quit drinking Coffee.
Does anyone know the music to this? I know its famous just cant think of it.
There was a video about this I think. "Why is this in ever film/cinematic?" And only a few notes are played. Funeral play as first use?
Could you share the wiring diagram ,great video please answer,
ok, but, why the sad song? this song was composed to explain the appearenceof the moon to a blind girl
Sir, if I want to get this set in India can I get it. If yes what will be the prociger how can I be able to achive.
I can help you, see my project: medium.com/endless-filament/make-your-filament-at-home-for-cheap-6c908bb09922
Extrudes well.
Are you concerned about ABS being hydroscopic (absorbing water) in the cooling section?
No, water absorption happens over long period of time. When filament is cooked with water, most of it evaporates after coming in the contact with hot plastic, see my guide: medium.com/endless-filament/make-your-filament-at-home-for-cheap-6c908bb09922
