Since I no longer had any use for my old Creality Ender3 V2 3D printer, I decided to convert it into a machine for making filament from PET bottles Most of the components apart from the printed parts come from the 3D printer itself The following 3D printer parts were used 1. Printer base with removed print bed, Z-axis stepper motor, Y-axis stepper motor, Y-axis belt tensioner 2. Black hex head screw with integrated washer M5X45 x 6 3. Ball bearing 625Z x 10 These were removed from the V-slot POM wheels Each wheel contains 2 x ball bearings and 1 x washer in between 4. Washer from the V-slot POM wheels x 7 5. Self-locking nut M5X5 for wheel screws x 10 6. Pan head screws M5X30 for wheel attachment x 2 7. Pan head screw M5X8 x 2 and M5 T-nut x 2 from the filament holder 8. Black hex head screw with integrated washer M5X30 x 4 9. Hotend with heatsink x1 Mounting screws x 2 10. Hotend aluminum bracket without plastic housing and fan 11. Cable for the Y-axis stepper motor x 1 12. Stepper motor with the short shaft x 1 13. Small pan head screws for stepper motor attachment x 6 14. Y-axis belt tensioner x 1 15. X-axis belt tensioner x 1 16. Large washers for wheel screws Extra parts not included in the 3D printer: 1. Hex head screw M4X10 x 7 2. M4 T-nut x 7 A simple GCode file can be found in the attached archive “PET_Extruder_GCode.zip” I achieved good results with a hotend temperature of 200 - 210°C and a PET strip width of ~7mm Here is a suitable spool for printing: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2808941-mini-spool-for-pet-filament-maker
