I love this idea, basically cuts out one of the steps for recycling 3d fillmant

Well, I will be honest: your work is good, but I saw you are selling this extruder and what I have seen so far is no real new development been done. I work on the industrial side of 3d porinting. In dustrial 3d printers are using this kind of extruders for at least 7 years. I have seen this kinds on commerfcial printers on US, but mainly on China, where it is use for TPU pellets, ceramics paste, etc. And lat formnext show on Germany, there are thhese extruders been sold for us$300 from germany comapnies. And be carefull because what I have seen Im sure it is violating intelectual proerties from some of those companies. also regarding mixing material, that is also been done in the past on the industry side. The proper way to achieve and how it is donde is called "coextrusion" where a filament is being done with a core of 1 material surrounded by the second one, this technique is used for creating bonding between "not bonding materials". In the practice using mixture of amterial like thios has proven to not be usefull at all. The diamond hotend was used like... 10 years ago not only for mixing colors but also for mixing materials and from the engineering point of view: not usefull (Im engineer and been printing since 2007 si take my word for it since I have developed many industrial 3d printers so far and experimented with "unusual "ways of using materials)

Noooo why do I only discover this now :(

Wait... Isn't pelletizing scrap support material at home also waaay easier than turning it into filament YESSS just saw the other video about it

Damn I really want to bite the bullet and buy this I don’t have the printer but I want to garante that I can also get this.. it’s on the pricy side especially since I’ve never had a 3D printer before and don’t know if I’ll use it enough to justify the price.. if I get it I’ll probably be using an ankermake printer but I also do care about resolution for the parts I’ll be printing and don’t know if spending hours sanding it down would be worth it since it may discourage me from using it more. Have you tried printing with resolution as the main goal instead of just it being cheaper? I know FDM printers can only get so clear but the differences in the resolution from what I’ve seen on normal filaments and the ones I’ve seen in your videos (I’ve watched all) is drastic enough for small sensitive parts to not work as intended, but the fact that the pellets mean it’s actually going to be available for me to buy without a hassle/less of a hassle is such a positive point since it’ll not just be cheaper without shipping but even with shipping costs it’s still a huge difference, besides if I have to print a mount for the new head, I as a beginner don’t have any filament to even to use in order to print that and adding it will be a big cost, since I’ll have to take out like 45$ off of the printers budget for that roll (25$ for the roll and around 20$ for shipping), sometimes the printer comes with a small spool but that’s to test print so it’s barley enough for that test print let alone having an adapter printed, and if that print fails since I’m a beginner I’m out of luck and ill have to find someone who can print it or get a full spool. The initial cost is huge now but I know it’ll go down eventually, on the other hand the new iterations/versions of this extruder will definitely improve upon its mistakes till it’s flawless but that means version 1 is going to be something aimed at the enthusiast market where they know how to tinker and adjust things without having to need someone to hold their hand with instructions.. I’m unsure when or if a second version will come out (hopefully it will) but everyone who buys a first generation of a new product will run into the first generation problems, it’s inevitable, and the second is always better, at the same time I don’t know if I want to wait another year as I’ve been looking at 3d printers for ages and at many points I was a couple steps away from owning one, one time a shop imported a couple ankermakes and posted on their instagram at like 10 am, my dad sent the post to me but I didn’t check it till 7pm, the moment I saw I called them and reserved one (they said only one left) I went to the shop driving since I didn’t want to wait for the delivery (second day since it was at night) and didn’t know if someone else will come pick it up, the moment I got there he said it’s gone and he told us to contact them later to know when they’re gonna get more.. I was so pissed off this was the easiest and closest way I could’ve owned one, it was sold for cheaper than online too, WITHOUT THE SHIPPING PRICE, couple days go by and turns out they didn’t sell them, they were confiscated, I emailed Anker asking for the supplier contact info, I was given a number, messaged them, he gave my my regional number and I gave them a call. The guy said they were threatened and they were told they’re gonna shut down their business if they import without permission again, I mean it did get into the country so how is it their problem? The website that states the illegal list of products doesn’t say anything about 3d printers, the HS code is on the allowed list, it’s confusing to say the least but it’s in such a gray area that if you’re gonna being one in you have to be dedicated and it might just get confiscated then you’re out of luck and money, unless they return it. I called customs, the criminal information directory, called the department of interior, and ended up with a number that never picked up except for a very specific timing on 4 days of the week, after a week they picked up and I asked if I can order he said yes and when it comes it’s gonna take a while for them to call me and interview me then I’ll have to sign papers saying it’s for personal use and can’t be used for business purposes, unless I register the printer under a CR, which is stupid since I could have it personal but also print for others without needing a CR because opening a CR means I need a location, need to pay, and my name along with the address will be on the public registry just to own a printer that I can print for others and get paid for that, then pay yearly to keep the CR active, or sign it as personal and if I print for others it’ll be for friends and no payment, which is unfortunate since you can make some money out of it since it costs so much upfront and longer (filament). I asked if I could go through the process first so I can guarantee that h have the clearance before buying it so I don’t lose money unnecessarily but he said I can’t do that, he did say if I ordered it then it’ll hopefully be an easy path forward and it’ll be hassle free but when I asked if that’s guaranteed he said nothings for certain but hopefully it’ll be. Confusing mess. If I got to the shop earlier, had I seen the post before the ministry of interior saw it, I would’ve had the printer, they would’ve probably come to my house to confiscate it or make me sign papers but if they didn’t id have the printer with 0 hassle and 0 shipping fees. The shop didn’t have filament, they never sold 3d printers, they sell mobile devices and accessories so they sold anker stuff, hence why they brought it, they deleted all the instagram posts about it and every time I asked them about it (before I figured out what happened) they’d act like in crazy and they never brought or had it, first couple times they said they don’t know when they’re getting more, then they said they’re never getting it, then they started acting like it never happened. People on Reddit say you just buy it and have to wait for customs to do their things, do an interview and sign papers then if you’re cleared you get it if not no clue since no one who wasn’t cleared said anything. It’s sad, but they all said importing filament is not a problem since you can just buy it and it’ll come. I remember asking aramex (or dhl I don’t remember) if they get 3d printers delivered to here and the guy said yes they get like 5 a week (or month don’t remember). So I’m unsure why it’s so tedious and such a black area, 0 guidelines and you just shoot in the dark, been thinking of getting a printer for over 4 years and trying to find a way for about 2, obviously if I just buy one I think it’ll get through which I was close to doing multiple times but the problem is if I get it and can’t get filament for cheap (without it being completely garbage and end up breaking something or wearing some part out that I’ll have to wait for a replacement of) then it’s just going to be a paper weight. Lots of people buy a ender or something cheap and established as a starter printer since they can dip their legs in the water and see if it’s a thing they want to be doing, if I’m gonna try it I’ll have to dive in head first since otherwise I’m gonna have to go through all the process again (and considering shipping 200$ for a printer is not cheap, since I’m paying more or the same just to ship it, and id rather have 1 great printer than 2 decent ones/ones that I’ll have to repair myself since they’re more “DIY” and if something breaks you have to fix by troubleshooting everything, instead of just warranty or repair by a less janky method such as more seamless process since the ender variant is pretty old with slower technology (speed wise compared to new ones). Bambu labs will be very expensive, ankermake I’ll be spending about 270 BHD on it (excluding shipping) (this is the price the store was selling it at). I even asked the local anker dealer if I bought one and needed repair if they can help they said they can’t and I’ll have to ship it to Dubai since the main supplier is there for the Middle East. I’m in Bahrain btw, not sure what this comment was it went from something to another but I think I got my point across. TLDR getting printer is hard, price for extruder isn’t cheap for a complete beginner, not sure if I will spend enough time to justify but it’s very interesting, not sure if being first generation owner will be good since second generation and so on are always superior. Good video, great mission

YES if pellets were so easy to print id buy a 3D printer now. We can’t order them here, they’re banned from being sold locally, you have to order and then you get checked it’s a long tedious process that I was about to start just to realize how much it’s gonna cost to ship spools here, they finish fast depending on what you’re printing and they’re not light, 1 spool is 1kg at least which is gonna cost a fortune to ship if I want like 5… if I can just order pellets they’re more compact for the size and cost so much less it’s gonna save me so much compared to buying spools that take up space and weight the same all for more price!!! I think I can even get pellets here because it’s used in everything plastic!!!!

I would print with pellets no problem

fk your thumbnail, benchy will literally never cost you $5

interesting! how does retraction and retraction speed work? does it build up hydraulic pressure? does it cause oozing or stringing?

This is so clever. Nice engineering

Hi. Is it compatible with bambulab a1?

what do you reccomend to grind the filament? i've just destroyed my coffee grinder trying that

Just bought 5 x 1kg Sunlu PLA+ for £45, on their official Ali Express page. No-one is spending $50 a spool to print benchies, so your video is disingenuous right from the start. Just ordered a 3D printer, and even the official spools are £21. Stupid video.

I was watching smarter every day and at 14 minutes this looked like something that would solve the dimensional issues from voids in the plastic. ruclips.net/video/frbLIoqDIO8/видео.htmlsi=B7ihOo_GpgNS93NB

Have you tried adding organic waste like waste from coffe, wood etc to 10-20%weigh? Like those filaments are made? This could create nice effects, and reduce plastic use However, some of those materials are flammable! It is better to remember that :D

Pellet printing will eventually get there. Ink printers are now getting more common with ink tanks instead of cartridges. It will be same for 3D printers, different hoppers full of pellets to print from.

"d8lios and va5ginas" caught me way off guard 😭

w extruder

This is genius!

Awesome! i'll definitely be getting one soon. Maybe add a side mount for a BLtouch for enders so they can still autolevel. Not to mention pretty much endless recyclability options at the fraction of the cost instead of buying a 5000$ filament extruder, and all the customization that you can put into the material. I'm so happy someone is actually stepping up and giving this technology a chance, and thank you so much for all of your hard work, and wish you the best :)

Allow me to make 1 suggestion... instead of the hose you used, try a smooth hose with the adapter on the end to screw into the extruder, that way no pellets will get caught up in the hose.

Neat but I couldn't consider something like that unless it were under $100 as a similar extruder is available from china for around $60-90

33k views this is a crazy underrated video for the 3d printing space, make another video update on this

Nobody seems to be mentioning that his benchy is massive, which hides many of the extrusion imperfections.

Send your extruder to this guy to put it on the elegoo: ruclips.net/video/V2ElLdEqbcg/видео.html

Btw. I think you need more exposure. Did you already send your extruder to the usual suspects of 3d printing youtubers? This is how such products get reviewed. send them for free and get attention.

I'm very interested. However, I am mostly interested in large scale 3d printing right now, volumes up to a cubic meter. So, I wonder: What size nozzle can you put in the extruder and what maximum amounts per seconds may I print with it?

I will never buy a bed slinger .... holy extruder !!!!!! I change my mind now

maybe use ceramic to hold the hot bits ?

*Hey pellet boy, I hope you have them for a Bambu P1P. I would like to see a video of it working with the WORLDS best selling 3D printer, the P1P.*

If you want to see pellet based 3D printing to become popular at consumer grade, and get quality equivalent to filament (Which is used in commercial and industrial solutions... for a reason. It is just easier to deal with) then you are going to need a printer with stationary extursion system and only the bed moves. Which isn't impossible to do. Why is this? Because the pellets are rough. With them they carry plenty of gas into the melting chamber, which will get trapped. This is why industrial extursion systems - whether they be plastic, aluminium or even sugar - have intermediary chamber in which they degas the molten mass before extursion. Now this isn't mechanically hard to do. However to do it at consumer grade small system is hard. Vacuum pumps don't scale down well. What I predict to become more popular is an easy "pro-consumer" grade pellet to filament system. Basically: Make your own spools. This way we can easily make the components big enough to easy manufacturing at high quality for decent price, and we can have some sort of control of the quality and experience of the end user. The biggest obstacles these face is the cooling of the filament in a controlled manner to ensure proper crystal structure; when the plastic is still formable you can just run it through dies to make sure you get correct dimensions.

Great idea, is there a good source for the pellets and what is the best way to shredder for the plastic.

Gratulation 🎉🎉 will buy IT !! Thanks

This is such an awesome idea that was actually made into reality, not many can do that. Getting this extruder customized to fit onto more platforms is the next hurdle.

I'm not at a point where I can make use of a pellet extruder but I enthusiastically support your project.

Pure brilliance !!! 👍👍👍

Would be cool if you could control colors somehow

I would place my order right away if I see how well it works with chocolate. My only concern is melted chocolate getting melted in the hopper before entering the worm gear.

I hope this becomes standard

Where dod you buy your filament? I pay 12$ per kilo and it's much more comfortable

Hello, I plan to print accessories to recycle soda bottles (feeders, drinkers, fly traps, etc.) but I want to print them by recycling plastic (printing scraps, bottles, etc.). .) Your extruder seems interesting to me, but before going any further, can it be mounted on an Artillery sidewinder X1? And is it possible to easily return to an original extruder, to carry out other work and return to the pellet extruder afterwards ?

@Greenboy3D What are your results w/ your pellet extruder printing w/ 0.4 mm nozzle?

For the pla portion, odd question. Did you account for creep? Even though the pla for the most part won't melt but over time eith enough heat it will deform.

Are you going to release the files so we could print it ourselves?

400 dollars!? My printer costs half that and it's almost the average wage in my country. I wish I could afford it. As soon as I get the money I'm buying
