Description: Filament Extruder for Recycling Plastic Bottles 🌍 Let’s save the planet together! 🌍 If you’ve decided to produce filament on your own, be aware that it’s not an easy task, and you need to be prepared for some challenges. If you’re ready to take them on, keep reading! How the extruder works: https://youtu.be/CD4BrY20CcQ?si=04PmTfFFf-mH3Az7 How to cut bottles: https://youtu.be/8kiaUDy1c_E?si=cvYygwheSY9MvAJgPackage Includes:Filament winding spool with a gearStepper motor with a gearExtrusion block with a heater and thermistorControl block with LCD display12V power supplyBottle cutterInstructions for Use: Cutting Strips: Use the bottle cutter to create strips 6–8 mm wide, depending on the thickness of the bottle walls. Avoid Twisting: Ensure the strips feed smoothly into the extruder. Properly cut strips will produce filament with a diameter of approximately 1.7 mm. Printing Recommendations:Melting temperature: 260–290°C (varies depending on the bottle material and additives).If your printer cannot heat the nozzle to at least 285°C, you may need to update its firmware.Printing speed:Recommended: 20–30 mm/s (for nozzles 0.8–1.0 mm).With a Volcano nozzle, you can increase the speed, but ensure the filament feed is properly adjusted.Nozzle diameter: 0.3 to 1.0 mm. A larger nozzle reduces clogging risks but requires precise filament feeding settings. Extruder Settings: Adjust the extrusion speed and temperature for optimal results. For example:Some bottles work best at 230°C.Others may require 245°C. If the strip struggles to feed, reduce its width or increase the stepper motor driver current (but avoid overheating the motor).Important Information:The product’s color may differ from the photos.Basic skills in electronics and mechanics, as well as patience and diligence, are required to use this extruder effectively.Do not purchase this product impulsively! It’s designed for enthusiasts who are ready to experiment and handle potential challenges. Start contributing to the environment today. Good luck! 🌱 Shipping Information: Due to current logistical challenges and occasional lack of direct flights, delivery may take longer than usual.
