Description

Give new life to PET bottles with this innovative extruder, designed to create 3D printer filament in a simple, eco-friendly way. Just insert plastic strips cut from water or drink bottles to obtain a ready-to-use tubular filament. Thanks to the variety of bottle colours, you can print objects in different shades without needing extra dyes.

Fitted with an LCD panel, it lets you precisely adjust extrusion temperature and speed, ensuring optimal results. The extruder works with PET strips from 0.1 to 0.45 mm thick and 5 to 12 mm wide, adapting to different types of recycled plastic. It integrates reliable electronics based on an Arduino Mega with a RAMPS shield and uses Marlin firmware, the 3D printing standard.

The extruder is supplied with a dedicated accessory, which makes it easy to create PET strips directly from plastic bottles, making the recycling process even more practical and efficient.

Compact and lightweight (57 x 22 x 20 cm, 1.9 kg), it is perfect for makers, hobbyists and anyone looking for an affordable, sustainable alternative to commercial filaments. Cut costs, contribute to recycling and turn waste plastic into new 3D creations!

Ready to use: the extruder is supplied already assembled and tested, so you can start creating filament right away.
