50$ DIY 3D print Filament Extruder to Mini Shredder ; Filament Makers 2 in 1 machine Part2 

In China yes 😁😁😁

Get it for cheap with Ali baba prime

I agree

For 150/200 $ I would be more than happy to build the whole kit.

@@theangelmen the shredder alone is $350

as the guy that makes the plastic pellets your machines take... its not so impressive... its just a miniaturized version of an italian machine i run everyday...

@@angelusmortis3256 as the guy that uses an ender three he bought for half price at micro center, I think I’ve lost this cock measuring contest.

Not if you check the local dump, and scrap yards, and junk yards bud.. if your on a budget, you budget smarter than blowing 550 at home depot.

@@duellyiamgemini3857 I've not seen a pick-your own scrapyard (other than automotive ones) in the US since the mid-'70s (and I've looked). They seem to be a myth of TV shows anymore. As to a dump, that's where garbage goes. They don't let the public in there as it's hazardous, not to mention the unbelievable stench. That said, it'd be hard to believe you could get such specialized equipment from any scrapyard. It's not like that chopper/shredder is from a paper-shredder, that's just not consumer-grade equipment. If there is one there, it's likely shot as that's not something that someone is just going to toss out. Good luck even finding one on aliexpress. The best you could hope for is military surplus, and that's still going to cost far more than the quoted $50. Plus, he's not pointing to Home Depot, he's pointing to _his_own_website_ where he sells the stuff for literally more than 10 times what he claims it would cost. His _cheapest_ chopper option (without motor or gearbox) is nearly 4x the total build cost he quotes! All of his gearbox options are well over $50, by themselves. Add to that the sales-pitch in the description section and the whole thing is _extremely_ misleading (being very kind here). ALL of the equipment in the video is brand new, even the dual-drive extruder shown at the end (that type tends to chew itself up pretty quickly). This, in itself, proves that the video's title and description is misleading. He didn't build it for $50, not even at wholesale prices. Not even close. There have been many people who have tried this and very few demonstrations of anything usable, and all of the ones I've seen have cost _many_ hundreds of dollars, and that's just the for the extruder assembly (not the shredder). On top of all that, the entire basis of the video as depicted in the title and thumbnail (and his sales-pitch in the description) is recovery of used plastic, yet he uses brand new pellets to demonstrate extruding filament. If this assembly actually worked, he'd be feeding the plastic he shredded into it. Especially considering that pellets cost >10 times what he claims (unless you're buying in industrial quantities). I don't know why you mentioned Home Depot. If you even could find all of this stuff at Home Depot (which you can't), it'd cost you _way_more_ than $550.

@@glabifrons 1st off. pick apart*, and scrap yard, are not the same. maybe my punctuation was off. as well as idk what you're talking about, born 1990. but just cause you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't their. dump- one mans trash, is another mans treasure. and yes they do.. just take a piece of trash with you.... lmfao... no one cares if your dumpster diving bro. and the smell?? bro you crying about the price, now you crying about something you don't even smell yet* XD you funny guy. lmao bro you would be surprised what people throw away that is perfectly fine or even brand new. i suggest one near a rich neighborhood. no one said he got the mat's overnight. bargain shopping isn't a department at Walmart. they call it clearance. in the case of him selling it well---- shit happens people lie idk what you want from us brody. just remember salt is bad for you're blood pressure. so check your attitude, and remember you can't believe everything you read on the internet. the fact you thought about the level of respect in this comment means that wasn't the case at all. that's just like the dude saying 50 bucks XD. but now I must agree with you. he is full of horse sh**. and false in many representations, and descriptions. as well as his own price listings. it's called the sales pitch. kind of like that bomb-looking hamburger at Mcy D'z. that's normally the case in the sale's pitch of all product's but mine XD Not yet available. if you wanted to know. if you want to get mad about something - did you know 70% of each dollar goes to taxes in America, and that's not including state tax. i will leave this conversation now, stating, I am an asshole. takes one to know one. the world is fucked up.

@@glabifrons if we bitch, moan, and complain. we get distracted. move forward.. as for me i got nothing going on right now and wanted to verbally dance.;P

@@duellyiamgemini3857 :) I'm hoping you can point me to a salvage-yard chain that would have such equipment. That, and I like to "talk" a lot. :^D

1000? I agree it's way more than $50 unless you have half that stuff just laying around but 1000 is about 5X more than I would expect to complete it for myself (I would do it wihtout the crusher, and the right angle gear box)

@@mlw19mlw91 it's about $500 on his website alone for the crusher and extruder. not with anything else.

don't think you used what he said. He used a common thin walled water pipe like used in a shower, about $0.90 in China.

still a good price honestly.

Dunno, the author seems to be Asian, in which case it may be that cheap to get all the parts for them. But all together, the system, even at 300 would be 1/10th of any commercially available ones.

Heil CCP heil slave labor

Parts are from china

Actually 80% of part are 3d printed.. I mean , rhe bath, the roller mechanism, the extruder puller can also be printed , the feeder , the rolling mechanism the stand for extruder , you onle need to pay for the heater , the shneck , the tube and a screw with a hall!

Need to accurately control The amount going out that is why shogun injection molding works also the pressure is to high

That could work well on lower melt point filaments like PLA, good idea :)

Need to run some calcs on plastic shrinkage and see what the actual diameter of the Bowden tubing is

it's just a drill bit

Yeah that will, it will almost even smash up on the extruder size too. Now I know how they made those dozen rolls I bought that are completely unusable varying from 1.45 to 2.05 (+-.25), and it absolutely will clog every time it gets to the wide part, and the thin part many extruders won't grip anymore (and I run double springs on my extruders, it physically won't allow that much travel unless you swap the idler pulley to a flat bearing). PID tuned I can see this work out well enough, although it looks like it has too many variables, the input should be fixed screw speed and just regulate the output stepper (which is easy to calculate since now you have a known diameter off x current speed you can easily compute your new ideal speed and am Arduino will have no problem adjusting that dozens of times per second with some under-shoot on purpose in your equation, although a proper PID equation isn't that crazy either).

Also the layers are horrible, no layer adhesion at the thin sections and horrific globbing for thin parts when it gets to thick filament so its very weak and poor dimensional accuracy even when it doesn't jam.

I had a project that did something like this. It's not nearly as easy to setup as he makes it seem (as most of these types of things are). Sure it looks impressive, but it's completely unusable. You really want a light based measuring control loop. A mechanical one doesn't cut it. The amount of effort that goes into making a filament with a +/- 0.05mm is stupidly hard using consumer grade stuff. I've seen the industrial machines. They're shockingly cheap for what they are, but outside the reach of almost any hobbyist. Also no guided winding? Weak sauce. If you did this "properly", the cost will be well north of $500. Mine was just shy of $1000 and that was with significant cost savings taken into account.

They use it in industrial uses because water cools faster and allows the plastic to retain the size in tighter tolerances, but they dry it after wards anyway

Part of ensuring accurate filament diameter will be to apply tension to the soft filament. If it's cooled too much, the filament might be too hard to draw. I wonder what would happen if the fresh filament was 'drawn' through a 1.75mm draw plate? @@techdiyer5290
