Very interchangeable and easy to alter for your varying bottle sizes

Easy to put together. Some strong glue is suggested to keep the joints together.

  • No longer limited by bed volume. Print on any printer!
     
  • Uses a 40MM Fan for Air Circulation  

 

  • To Power the Fan, Use a 5 Volt Fan and Wire it into 

a 5 Volt Power Cord for a Phone Charger or equivalent.

Just make sure to use a power source that matches your Fan's Voltage

to avoid electrical issues. 

 

  • Place the fan in the center of the dryer. Sticker facing down (blowing inward).

You can secure it with screws - though it's not needed. 

Place the Fan Cover on top of the fan to avoid electrical water damage.
 

  • Remove the bottle label, clean the glue off and wash your bottle. 

Place a bottle onto a pipe. The dryer holds 8 bottles. 

 

  • A 5 Volt fan was able to help circulate the air 

enough to dry the bottles in under 1 hour.

 

It's taken a couple days otherwise. 

 

This definitely improves and speeds up a production routine.

The Recreator 3D's purpose is to Recreate PET#1 recyclable plastic bottles into useable 3D filament. 

The smallest, most compact, and portable pultrusion unit seen within the community. It's ability to strip, reform, color, and spool all in one continuous pull cycle. 

This community kit should inspire most households and community team leaders. 

The Recreator 3D, inspired by the XViCO X3S 3D printers. It's base structure, a few accessories, and a handful of 3D printed parts are all that was used. 

The Recreator 3D will be 100% free as a community build.

I wanted to further adapt PET#1 recycling to be more accessible to every person even easier. With this goal; we'll reshape our future's recycling methods, One bottle at a time!
