@growithjessie: I Turned A Plastic Water Bottle Into A 3D Print (finally!)🖨️ I figured out (almost perfectly) the temperature, flow rate and speed settings on my 3D printer so that we can finally print from water bottles-turned-filament. Infill 20%. Speed 60%. Bed temp: 70. Nozzle temp: 245. Fan: 100%. Now I need to figure out how to: (1) Find the sweet spot temp for my nozzle so the plastic doesn’t melt before a print completes (I’ll try printing at 250, and then 255). (2) Find sweet spot fan speed to cool plastic filament as it prints (I’ll try increasing my fan speed to cool the filament down as it extrudes through the nozzle). (3) Fix my mechanical pulley so it does not get stuck when pulling filament through my Petamentor machine. (4) Find a way to attach plastic filament to my Petamentor pulley more seamlessly. (5) Optimize water bottle cutter with bearings to automate the process of cutting the bottles to self-direct to the nozzle. (6) FUTURE GOAL: Find a way to automate cutting water bottles and self-directing the strips straight into my 3D printer nozzle to become an all-in-one plastic filament-to-prints machine. This is progress to me. And it’s exciting. Thanks for staying with me along the way. I love you literally so much.
