Yes you're right, but you have to put more effort than just getting bearings as you have sharp the edges of those bearing and appropriate nuts size and hard surface/base. While this one is easy, 3D Print and put a blade to make it work
@@Creative3DP Awesome, I like the people who like to innovate and make better yet new things, not just copying and pasting like a robot. Keep it up bro 🔥
I agree. It is better to cut the stripes first, in a separate process. It is easy and fast. And if something goes wrong... just throw away that broken stripe... plenty of plastic bottles. Would you mind sharing some info on the thickness of the bottles and the required width of the strips? I have read the 0.15mm thickness requires 10mm wide strips. But when I do that, my filament is too thin and the extruder of my Ender3v2 can't push it down the bowden tube.. it slips. Any advice? thanks, chriV
I also encountered a slipping issue which was caused by the extruder. I suggest upgrading to a dual gear extruder and increasing the strip size. In my experience, I usually Strip 2 Litre coca cola bottle with 12mm strip,
@@Creative3DP Interesting... Is 12 mm not too wide for the hot-end of the filament-maker? I've been thinking to feeding it 2x6mm stripes in parallel, but I have not tested that yet.
Well, I would recommend you to test with different strip size as bottle's wall thickness may vary. Feeding 2 strips at same time is not very efficient and may not work as the hotend is just enough to give round shape to PET Strip.
Bro use two bearings to cut the bottle. It will work perfect without any sound...
Thanks for the tip bro
You can build a new cutter using bearing , there are many tutorial on youtube , it produce no noise while it cut pet bottle into filament .

Ok my friend,dont want to use Bearings..than deal with the noise..

Setting for slicer?
Brother how to connect for all details and how settings for rex 100
please update the link, which is dead
Thank you so much bro. It's so cool. But i cant find the white pet bottle holder .stl file.
How can i find it ? Thank you again 🤘🏼
Sorry, I think I haven't included that in the files. But now I have made an update. You can download it. Thanks again for bringing it to my attention.
@@Creative3DP I downloaded it. Thanks for your interesting
Is there somewhere I can buy these? Are someone that can make one for me?
It's a DIY Project, Stl files are Available on cults3d
Bro are you Indian? please give me the links to buy.
The link to the STL files is in the description. Unfortunately, I don't sell the finished product.
@@Creative3DPAt least, what are the name of those parts?
I've made a Video on this machine, You can check it out on this channel
