Description
PETmachine – your very own desktop filament factory!
Put it together, power it up, and start recycling plastic bottles—recycling made simple!
The PETmachine® kit is thoughtfully designed, making the assembly process both fun and straightforward. With a highly detailed manual and no need for soldering, programming or wire crimping, it’s all about pure enjoyment.
Feel like a real engineer as you assemble the PETmachine® – then start turning plastic waste into usable 3D printing material!
Reliable – design tested since 2018.
Safe – PETmachine® was tested in professional laboratories and CE certified.
User friendly – thousands of satisfied users.
Perfect for workshops, classrooms, makerspaces, or businesses, this hands-on kit gives you all the power of PET recycling, with the added reward of building the machine yourself – no advanced tools or complex setup required.
🚀 What PETmachine® Can Do?
The PETmachine® transforms PET plastic bottles into usable 3D printing material, empowering you to take control of your waste and start local, circular production.
Recycled PET filament made with the PETmachine® is easy to print, strong and durable – with a smooth, glossy finish that gives your prints a professional look. It’s a sustainable material that rivals commercial filaments, while reducing plastic waste and promoting circular manufacturing.

“Making your own filament is one of the most satisfying things in the world. Making 3D printing more sustainable is also just as satisfying”
— 3d_diy_dave
“The PETmachine is a very well-thought-out design. It’s very accessible for people who want to get into making their own filament from PET bottles.”
– Teaching Tech
“These machines made by Tylman Design have introduced us to a method for recycling PET bottles at home, which normally is very difficult to achieve. The machines product consistent, reliable filament that prints fantastically once it has been dried. A huge thank you to Igor and the team for helping us with another recycling project. Check out our YouTube video for a full showcase of the machines in action”

Nice!
i received it in time its amazing pars its in good condition and safe so simple to fix it , mi enjoying time its to spend it in this machine its worth it ,thank you Etsy for your wonderful machine
This machine is GREAT! it’s relatively small, and the instructions to put it together were easy to follow!
If you love to recycle and build then you will also love this project. Great step by step instructions. If you print with ABS make sure you increase scale to 100.5% to compensate for the slight shrinking.
Thank you very much for the amazing product!
