How to Build a PET 3D Printing Filament Extruder-Archipelago

- While the Archipelago PET Filament Extruder may not be the smallest filament extruder out there, it is certainly very compact and efficient. Follow this tutorial to build your own Archipelago PET Filament Extruder, in order to produce free PET 3D Printing Filament, and then print it into islands for building temporary architecture.
The full parts list & more details about assembly can be found here: archipelagogo....

Archipelago addresses these issues through a 4 step system empowering individuals to recycle at home using a few specialized, but easy to produce or acquire, tools in combination with modular design.

Enhorabuena Justin, es un gran proyecto gracias por compartir.
Muchas gracias!
I'm pretty sure you just called the heating element a thermistor but hey, all is forgiven this is a very nice presentation video. Could you maybe add some links to the major parts?
Sorry for my slow reply. There is a thermistor in the heating element (measuring the temperature of the extruder nozzle via the thermocontroller). I thought I had included the parts list or a link to the parts list in the video description, but in case I haven't, you can find the filament extruder's part list on the project's website: archipelagogo.weebly.com/filament-extruder.html
@JustinTylerTate no sir, actually the thermistor is in the heating block along with the heating element. At 3:58 you were talking about connecting the thermistor. The at around 4:14 you are talking about a temperature sensor. The heating element is not a temperature sensor. The thermistor is not a heating element. The thermistor, however, is a temperature sensor. So either way you definitely called the heating element a thermistor.
Edited to add
I do like your video very much, it's well thought out and very easy to follow. Also thank you for tbe link.
For safety purposes and just general knowledge, though the temperature sensor, in this case, a thermistor, and the heating element are two separate components placed separately inside the metal block. The three component assembly is then called a heating block.
Ooops, I guess I messed up on that part of the script Thanks for telling me about it @@1JamesHamilton1 ✌
Nice video. How do we know if a 3D printer can print recycled PET before we buy it ? Do they specify it clearly or must we check ourselves for some specs ? Thanks for your work !
You just need to check the specs, if it can print up to 260-265°C, then it can print rPET. They should specify clearly what the temperature range is. You can also search online to see if anyone has used a certain 3D printer before to print rPET. Thank you!

Thanks for your answer ! :)
@@En_theo You're very welcome :D
I don’t own 3-D printer though. It would be great for people to sell prebuilt filament extruders where I don’t need to 3-D print anything. or figure out how to assemble from scratch.
But then what would you need the filament for if you don't have a 3D printer?
@@JustinTylerTate I want to learn how to recycle my plastics into filament first and if I can do that then I can justify buying a 3-D printer one day that I can make my own filament for, with recycles from home
@@rachincI don't know of any commercially available filament extruders for PET, but perhaps you could cut your plastic into strips and use it as is or find things to make from the strips (woven objects), but you would also have to make a tool for cutting the plastic into strips. I would suggest you checking out @Advoko 's video about reusing plastic bottles: czcams.com/video/GSBh77bjz_Q/video.html
Can you List part of the Project with me?
All of the parts are listed on the project's website: archipelagogo.weebly.com/filament-extruder.html
I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask 😁
@@JustinTylerTate Thank you very much!
You're welcome @@manham438
