A post shared by David Miao (@3d_diy_dave)

“Making your own filament is one of the most satisfying things in the world. Making 3D printing more sustainable is also just as satisfying”

“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”

Does it have a safety certification (CE)?

Yes, the PETmachine has CE certification.

Does it smell when processing a bottle in the PETmachine?

No. If the bottle is properly cleaned beforehand, there are no harmful fumes or unpleasant odors during the process.

Is filament from a bottle easy to print?

Yes! Is very easy to print. 

How much filament can I produce from one bottle?

Approximate Output:

1.5L Bottle – 14–18g (~6 meters)
2.5L Bottle – 24–30g (~10 meters)
5L Bottle – 45–60g (~20 meters)
10L Bottle – 90–110g (~35 meters)

Does the PETmachine work with 110V or 230V?

Yes. It supports 100–240V AC automatically – no converter needed.

What parts are included?

Please check the “What’s Included” tab on the product page.

How long does it take to produce 100g of filament?

The PETmachine processes at 1 meter/min. Since 1 meter ≈ 2.2g, it takes about 45 minutes to produce 100g. Hands-free once loaded.

What 3D printer is recommended for printing with bottle filament?

A printer with a full metal hotend (300°C) and dual-drive extruder is recommended.
Examples: Prusa MK3S+/MK4, Bambu Lab X/P1 series, Elegoo Neptune 4, Creality K1/K2.

Does it come with a warranty?

Yes. 1-year warranty on both kit and assembled versions.

Is it hard to produce filament from bottles?

Not really. Expect to practice with 2–3 bottles. After that, it’s easy and satisfying!

Is it difficult to assemble the PETmachine (Kit Version)?

No. It has been successfully built by beginners aged 15 to 85. Clear instructions and a helpful community are included.

What tools do I need to prepare a bottle?

Please refer to the “What’s Included” tab on the product page.

What are the best slicer settings for this filament?

You’ll receive full recommended slicer settings in the documentation after purchase.

What’s the power consumption of the PETmachine?

About 45W – similar to a typical laptop charger.

Is there a community for PETmachine users?

Yes! Join our Discord to connect with other makers, get help, and share your projects. Joing our Discord Server 

How much does it cost to produce 1kg of filament (electricity only)?

  1. The machine is easy to use and has inspired many students to think about responsible consumption, recycling, innovation, and sustainable business ideas. Thank you so much for all of your support.

  2. I have been interested in making PET filament for some time and looked at a number of options out there.

    None of them seemed quite right for me as I have limited time and skills for this type of project and the diy options had little, if any support.

    I subscribe to the Teaching Tech (Michael Laws) YouTube channel. He has great tutorials and high standards so when I saw his video on Igor Tylman’s Pet Machine I decided to take the plunge. I purchased the assembled PET Machine and the PET Welder/Mr Winder kit.

    Great support via email and Discord.

    The devices are exceptionally well engineered and of high quality. The documentation is very thorough and detailed.

  3. Igor is a great engineer and was punctual with the delivery date, I would gladly do business with him again.

  4. Love it, such a great piece of kit, straightforward and easy to operate, with really clear instructions, lots of help on hand if needed.

  5. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Maschine, alles läuft wie es soll. Fragen wurden mir sehr schnell beantwortet. Die Nozzle ist mir im Hotend abgebrochen. Einen Tag später hatte ich schon ein Neues zugeschickt bekommen. Also super Support😃👍🏻‼️❗
