Filament Maker from PET Bottle

Hi, in the PCB schematic there is R1 4.7K resistor, which is not mentioned in Bill of materials. Is this some kind of issue or...?

Hi !! i have a question do you have a other choice for the Female pins link and the motor ? thank your project is so beautiful !!

Thank you so much , we appreciate your gracious efforts

if I choose PCB+Assembly, will I receive the entire PCB as shown with all the components soldered?

que fuente se requiere, de cuanto amperaje

I have also done this project. However, when I saw that it wasn't working, I thought I'd check the comments. Unfortunately, there are others who have had the same problems. I wish I had started the project by reading the comments first. In this project, like other friends, I was stuck in the part of the stepper motor not working. We are waiting for your urgent help in order not to throw the project away.

hello, I'm assembling this project, but the stepper motor when turning on it locks the shaft and doesn't turn, when I press the wrist wrench it releases the shaft again, I don't know what's happening because all material is the same as yours

Hi. I've been working on this project too, and for those concerned about the stepper not rotating, it is a result of the stepper driver used in this video. I changed the driver for this one: https://www.amazon.com/tb6600/s?k=tb6600 the TB6600 works like a charm. As I've read in several posts about the stepper getting stuck or not rotating at all, it happens because the module is kinda old and does not have internal current control. Furthermore, I measured the current myself, and as expected, the stepper was consuming around as twice power as it should. So, I recommend you to choose another stepper driver that does have internal current controller, and has the rated current needed.

Hi guys, is it possible to use the TMC2209 v4 driver on this board?

hello same problem as the others. The red led lights up indicating heating but the green led remains off. I tried the 2208 and a4988 nothing to do the stepper motor remains blocked if you press the button and even if I adjust with the potentiometer that I had to connect to the arduino board, nothing happens the motor remains powered but does not move. I tried with a breadboard to insert only the stepper and the motor with arduino and it works so there is an error in the pcb or in the code you created. You can answer because there are many of us who have failed.

Is incomplete, the instruction aren´t clear, please answer, i have the same issues.

Hey, I used your design and tried to make my own filament maker. However, I do not get the results you got in the video. When I upload the code, I have the red LED light on, instead of the green one. Furthermore, I have no idea which pins should the wires coming from the board to the LCD should be connected to. I have a feeling that you didn't make certain things clear enough, and so I am kind of stuck at this stage of the project, therefore some explanation from you would be very welcome. Regards, Caesar.

no me sale la lista completa de los componentes

Hi, thank you for the great videos and projects you are sharing with us. Can you lease verify or update the component list of this project as I noticed that the mosfet you used in the video is different than the listed one also some components are missing like the capacitors and resistors details, sorry if I'm asking too much I'm just a beginner and like to built the PET machine and hope it works fine. Thank you

hi there is a missing file, please update

Hi, I have a 3D printer aluminum block V 24V 40W, is it fine or do I need 12V and regarding the 25V10uF Capacitor and the 25V100uF Capacitor is 25V fine?

Has anyone managed to use it in the long term?

Muy interesante tus vídeos y explícitos me han ayudado mucho. Gracias Saludos desde Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico

qual e o valor da resistencia do potenciometro e quais pinos ele e soldado no arduino ? fico grato pela ajuda

Hello, can you give me the part number of the Rotary Encoder please? Thank you
