There's a small 3D-printing niche of PET #1 bottle cutting specifically for filament making. For whatever reason, they mostly seem to organize on Facebook.[1] A lot of these builds can be made out of scrap components. The Recreator3D[2] somewhat automates the bottle cutting, feeding, and filament making. Older versions repurpose a specific 3D printer's hardware, but the MK6[3] uses largely off-the-shelf parts. Igor Tylman sells kit and fully-assembled PETmachines that cut, feed, and pullstrude filament.[4] 1: http://PPU3D.com http://PPU3D.com, which just redirects to https://www.facebook.com/groups/petpultrudersunited https://www.facebook.com/groups/petpultrudersunited 2: http://recreator3d.com/ http://recreator3d.com/ 3: https://www.printables.com/model/352729-the-recreator-3d-mk6-fun-size-a-diy-pet1-plastic-b https://www.printables.com/model/352729-the-recreator-3d-mk6... 4: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1851116187/petmachine-fully-assembled?click_key=79ded56ce8208a7adb1e8e8292831f7de574dd52%3A1851116187&click_sum=a8858473&ref=shop_home_active_1&crt=1 https://www.etsy.com/listing/1851116187/petmachine-fully-ass... with a pretty thorough demonstration at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUcZyOWUzcY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUcZyOWUzcY
