Attempting to build a 3D Filament machine that uses recycled PET Plastic bottles which are everywhere to make my own filament this project is not my own idea and there are a lot of tutorials online on how to make these I will be using a moge-poge of these ideas to come up with my own version … Wish me luck!

I ve seen several versions of DIY filament extruded.
Just my opinion, while the concept of recycling PET bottles into filament should be explored, The shear amount of time involved to produce 1K of filament, it currently seems impractical and the results are far from consistent.
I do wish you luck and hope you find an efficient way to feed bottles, produce a usable filament, and prove it can be done efficient. I see many iterations in your future
