      Very hard to tune and speed has to be set very low. I would say in most cases, the other way is better.

    Crazy! I wasn't expecting it to just go on top of the printer like that! And to see it printing the housing for another one is just awesome. You've basically gone infinite, assuming you can find bottles in the garbage. :)

    Hey, thank you for showing us in better detail how you are "sewing" these together.
    I don't wish to be a party pooper, but would you be willing/able to do a live stream of a longer print?
    I am not confident with the joins, you seem to have mastered them, but they still make me feel uncomfy... If that makes sense.
    I am currently in the camp of seeming after they are pultruded 🙂

    Thank you so much for posting this, I've been struggling with trying to melt the filament rolls together, I think this beats the repet solution by a longshot. Connecting the strips is way more efficient, I'll try this for sure. I think instead of using a separate extruder assemly, with the right board, one can flash a firmware with 2 extruders and do a gcode wizard and slicer settings to to do this.
    Another ideam I might experiment with is making a die to cut the strips and punch the holes with one push, it's speed up the process a bunch. Great approach tho, I think this'll work for me. Thanks again!

    Are you printing at 255°? I thought it would need around 270-280. I had cloughs at 260-265 and need to rise it.
    What about the printer result? PET seems to be a little to brittle in comparison with PLA

      In order to make the filament the hole needs to be 1.75mm, so you just grab the nozzle and drill the head, unless you can find a 1.75mm nozzle​@@Marc-yh4gf

      @i.u.se.pha.8446 Год назад +1

      Can't you weld/fuse the two end pieces together >after< it becomes usable filament?
      ...And then deburr/smooth out with a scalpel, Diamond milling heads or simply sandpaper?
      .....or am I seeing it too simple and don't understand it at all how that works...?

    • @KevinGroninga3D
      @KevinGroninga3D Год назад

      I’m with you. Binding the ribbon together just isn’t gonna work because when pultruding is done right, there’s a lot of tension on that filament leaving the nozzle and it’s not going to fit through. I have a much easier time welding the sections of filament together (using a soldering iron) after pultruding. The only explanation for it working as a ribbon is that the ribbon is so thin (so little material) that it can fit through. So likely the resulting filament isn’t very dense.

    • @dragonlax9405
      @dragonlax9405 Год назад +2

      ​@KevinGroninga3D I think you're right. I tried this method with a bottle strip with a thickness of 0.25 mm and it did not work. Maybe with a 0.2 or less it works.
      I'd love to make it work, I weld the filament like you say but it is an extra step I'd be glad to be rid of
