Recreator 3D MK5 Kit based on an Anet A8 3D printer

This project is based on Joshua Taylor Recreator 3D MK5 project kit, allowing the conversion of an Anet A8 3D printer into a 1.75mm recycled PET filament making machine.

It is suggested to print the geared parts in PETG at 4 walls and strong infill. The feet should be printed in TPU. All other parts can be printed in PLA.

The bottle cutter can be found here.

Required materials are:

• 2 - 2040 proflies or a 13x40cm wood/MDF board;
• 26 - M4x8mm hex screws;
• 26 - M4 T-nut for 2020;
• 1 - 625zz D-POM bearing;
• 1 - L bracket for the heating block
• 1 - 130x50x10mm MDF board for the hotend.

This Anet A8 conversion kit replaces the Ender 3 kit:

• 2004 LCD mount/faceplate;
• Anet A8 board mount;
• right case for Anet board and LCD mount;
• power supply mount;
• simplified spool gear and spooler rod.
