💬 What Makers Say
“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”

Thank you!
A really fun project to build and use!
While assembling it, I often found myself thinking that Igor truly took things to the next level. He didn’t just create a working solution—he designed something genuinely elegant.
On top of that, the kit enables anyone to “create” a complex and functional machine, which really enhances the overall building experience.
As for the filament produced, it delivered much better results than I expected, with some very interesting transparency effects.
So it’s definitely recommended! It also makes a perfect gift for anyone interested in 3D printing.
Thank you so much! Comments like yours truly make my day. Happy using! 🙌
Me encanta !!!
Me ha gustado pero…
El cortador manual se desgasta muy rápido con la cinta de PET. La fricción hace que la cinta sea cada vez más larga. Me gustaría que el cortador tuviera un piso metálico en vez de plástico, para que no se erosione con la fricción.
Es importante resaltar que hay que pagar alrededor de 2000 pesos mexicanos por la importación. Fedex te cobra ese dinero. En México hay impuestos de importación. Es muy caro
