thanks for sharing the bottle cutter, gonna try to make it work with the stuff i have.
Hello. Can you suggest the settings for the regulator itself?
Hello my friend! I finally can complete your fantastic project! I will inform you when I'll finish!
Great, that's awesome. Sure, do let me know :)
Hi! How did you configure your REX-C100? I’m asking because I set the SV to 200 degrees Celsius, but my hotend is reaching a much higher temperature than that, and I don’t know how to configure the more specific settings of the controller. How did you do it?
I would recommend check the wiring is done properly and make sure you're using DC to DC SSR otherwise it will not gonna work and then check REX C100 settings, there are many tutorials on youtube on REX C100.
In wiring of Ceramic Cartridge Heater is the blue wire connected to negative of ssr and negative of smps?
Yes
можешь в описаний оставить где покупать комплектующее, или название всей электроники ?
Did you get a rounded geometry filament with the increasing in nozzle temperature? What was the temperature used? The heater, what is the voltage? 12V? 24V, can you tell the model? And the thermistor, what is the model? Best Regards
I use a 12V 15A power supply, REX C100 with a DC to DC relay, and a K-type thermistor. I keep the temperature between 200 and 210 degrees Celsius to obtain the best quality rounded filament. If I increase the temperature, it breaks.
Can you please, reply with links for every product including the nozzle to the power supple and all the items, it would help a lot thank you.
I've used
hotend with 1.7mm nozzle (You can use 1.7 drill to make a hole in nozzle)
REX C100 with k type thermistor - amzn.to/3OZh9sP
12v 15amp psu - amzn.to/3P3naVJ
DC TO DC SSR - amzn.to/432ENKP
85kgcm Gear DC Motor - (Unable to Find Any)
PWM - amzn.to/48xEady
for the hot end would any hot end work, and I can’t find the motor are there any other types of motors that can be used?
Can I replace the motor to a used stepper motor?
Name of gear that you connect to the motor please 🙏🏻
Hello, I have a question. I set up a similar system at my home. I made a steel heater block and took a CNC nozzle and drilled it with a 1.7 mm drill bit. No matter what I did, I couldn't get a full round filament from the nozzle. When you make a thin strip, it becomes crooked, it does not close completely, a shapeless bar comes out. When cut thick, it does not come out of the nozzle. What should I do?
are you extruding at 60-70c? also i would just play with the thickness a bit, ive seen people have a decent amount thicker strips than what he uses
Set the temperature higher and if it not work make your plastic strip a few mm larger
Can you make a machine for failed prints? U have tones of failed prints that i could recycle and reuse
That is a good suggestion. I will see what I can Come up with
Does bubbles on the plastic strip because you extrude the filament faster
Actually it was fastened, there's no problem of bubbles, do it slow so that it gets a proper round shape
Are you able to explain how you made the hot-end work? I’m trying to make this with a friend and we scavenged the hot end of an ender 3, but we have no idea how to make it like yours.
Hello, you can find a similar concept with a complete tutorial, the name is : PETamentor 2
could you tell me what is the best temperature value for good rounded filament I make the pet machine but the filament still not completely rounded
200 to 210 degree celsius
hey bro i want to try this with my glu gun but can you please tell me from where i can buy that nozzle and what size ?
Its a normal 0.4mm nozzle but i used 1.7 drill bit to make a hole equivalent to diameter of the regular filament.
what is the rpm (rotations per minute) of the motor?
10
If you add affiliate links to the purchased and show the wiring more clearly it help me thanks.
okh I'll add and recording wiring part is kinda boring and confusion but you can take the help of diagram i have provided.
@@Creative3DPwhen u will add the links
links are in cult's stl file page
Can you post the model of the thermostat?
K type
Please

Ur wiring diagram shows an SSR? But ur final product doesn’t? How are you wiring the heater block to get heat? I’m struggling-thanks!
Yeah! I didn't realise to put DC to DC SSR until I wired this whole thing that's why I created a wiring diagram with SSR. Rex c100 has Relay output so you have to use SSR in order to make it work. DC to DC SSR if you're using DC heater and DC to AC SSR if you're using AC heater
So if I want to get the heating block to warm up I need to buy am SSR?
Could you maybe dm a really in depth wiring guide with hot ends heating block thermistor etc. I’m struggling and would appreciate it!
@@Creative3DP I would love a close up look at the wiring and maybe a tutorial on how to use the Rex c100!!
@@calebdebass3882 Yes Breme REX c100 have relay output so you need DC to DC SSR in order to heat the heating block
Hi can i know what the name of that dc geared motor
It's an 85kgcm 10rpm square box dc motor
for how much did you pay for the motor and where did you buy it?
I bought it for $17 from a local store that deals in DC motors and repair stuff, but you can also try to find it on AliExpress or Amazon.
@@Creative3DP thx
Hi
Do you sell the machine and how much to you have Delivered to Saudi Arabia ???
I have just launched a kickstarter of the updated version of this machine, you can check that out - kck.st/3KIqqmP
what did you use to heat the plastic?
Hotend
@@Creative3DP what diamiter?
@@mrdamdam8173 I have used 2mm nozzle as i unable to find 1.75mm drill bit
@@Creative3DP ok thanks but could i use a 12v 5a instead of 12a?
@@mrdamdam8173 If you're asking for Power supply then I would say go atleast for 10 amp power supply. This is because the motor itself requires a 12V power supply with a power rating of 3 to 5 amps, and you'll also need to power the hotend
Rex-c 100 ranges from 9000₹ to 12000₹ in India
No, check on robu, electronicomps
Total cost for the project?
around $50
Brother iam connection for all details but no heating
What's problems?!
Which SSR are you using?
@@Creative3DP SSR 20DA
@@Creative3DP can you give me your any account
?
It works on DC to DC SSR
Что он говорит?
Is there any trick to pass the filament through the nozzle?when i try to pass it it melts
The first few millimeters should be thinner than the nozzle, then use plier to pull it slowly until you get better grip on thicker Extruded Filament
I bought this PET 3d filament extruder from ebay. Seller says he left all the wires in tact when he shipped it to me. It didnt come with instructions. When I powered it on, the red numbers never seem to get above 23. It doesnt seem like the nozzle is getting hot. Am I doing something wrong? Or is the machine broken? Can someone advise? czcams.com/video/kNC_jB0eMCU/video.html
Can you tell me the name of the heating module you are using? or, it would be helpful if you could send me some pictures of the wiring and module to my email address provided in the channel's about section. I'll be happy to help you out.
Hello my friend, . Very sexy looking pet machine.I build a different one, works great too.but if you can take a tip from my experience.I went thru all fails 3d printing Pet.learned,it prints great at 260 h-e ..74 bec,,115 flow,and 100 speed.oh please,please dry your filament at least 30 mins. You will see the HUGE Difference.thanks.
Thank you so much friend for sharing your experience ❣️
brother pls help
Okh, what's the problem
I use nozle 222/225 C° for print Pet. 😉
250 is over 👎
at 225, Pet filament caused extrusion problem for me and yes 250 is kinda over, as you can see the lot of stringing is last result. sweet spot is between 235 to 240
@@Creative3DP Strange because to me it clogs at 240 and over degrees in the nozle. 🤔
Yeah kinda weird 😕
dude, what is the thickness of the strip? i use 1cm for the same coke bottle, the machine does not buy it, and when I use 7 8 mm, protrusions form and hang out
You have to find the adequate strip size and wide the back of the hotend so that the strip can easily get into it
@@Creative3DP i mean, the flamenti I made with a 1cm strip can't get the printer, it feels thick, I think. when I try it with 7 8mm, it takes quite Decently, but sometimes there is a ripple etc. the printer also hangs out because of these. Do you have any hang-ups? How thick do you use the strip?
@@Creative3DP By the way, does the plastic cutter you shared require pressure from above? Or is it enough to stand still?
