I saved up few hundred bottles to recycle it myself, but now I can find petg filament at 6euro /kg. It would take 50 bottles to make 1 kg. Im considering to just throw it all away now.
Hey! Thanks for this awesome build guide, happy to see more Recreator3D builds out in the wild! Looking forward to seeing what you create with your Pultruded PET in the future 🙂 Edit: your remix for the spooler parts does not seem to be live or the link isn't working.
We have a gcode file that we provide with the downloads 🙂 it's a lot easier and more universal than flashing firmware to the board you will find it in the Printables link
RIP Ender 3. Wouldn't you have been better off keeping it as a working printer and source those few parts you kept as new parts. Ender replacement parts aren't expensive.
If i had bought it new id completely agree. I actually found this ender 3 on offer up for $45 bucks and i kept all the other parts for another project im doing. I failed to mention all that in my video lol.
@@Dartwork365 Yeah it's just they're not really worth anything on the used market especially since they're really considered previous generation printers now. I honestly wouldn't recommend one as a starter to anybody because you have to learn things on an ender 3 that you just don't need to know for modern printers.
True. MY Ender 3 is my back up or work horse printer. It is definitely an old model and tons of newer advanced printers continue to come out tho. With all the new auto features and tech. In the end its good bare bones printer with a large online community.
After I printed I realized this build is ridiculous stupid. Way too many parts to print and more complicated than it needs to be. I only print the minimum to build and most definitely I won't ever build another one. Life is simple people make it complicated. That is exactly what it is with this build. You will understand once you start printing all the parts then you will cuss just like me. Don't build it . There are many more way simpler to build. There are only 3 component for all of theml. Spool motor , hot end and controllers. I also build another one way simpler than this . I hate this design. Too redundant and stupid design really!!!!!!!!
Im sorry you sound very upset my friend. But thanks for your feedback btw the design isn't mine and this is just my experience with making this machine this way. Contact the original design creators in the community Facebook link I put in the description if you wanna let them know how you feel about it. ✌🏾🙏🏽
