Description

The device costs less than $700 in materials and can be fabricated in about 24 h. It can make filament from pellets, regrind, and composite wastes. A full description of the build can be found here: Aubrey L. Woern, Joseph R. McCaslin, Adam M. Pringle, and Joshua M. Pearce. RepRapable Recyclebot: Open Source 3-D Printable Extruder for Converting Plastic to 3-D Printing Filament. HardwareX 4C (2018) e00026 doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ohx.2018.e00026
