If you’re new here, let me explain what I’m working on and what I’ll be primarily posting on this page.
Follow my page to see how I take on the challenge of 3D printing everything in my life using DIY 3D filament made from recycled plastic, all with DIY 3D printers! I’ll be experimenting with different ideas, from plastic rods to other uniform input solutions. That’s what I’ll be primarily posting here, but I may also share other content along the way.
SO WHAT’S UNIFORM INPUT?
In the DIY 3D printing community, many people are trying to make their own filament, especially using recycled plastic. But there’s still one big problem nobody has solved properly: inconsistent input material, which directly affects filament quality.
In my recent posts, I shared the idea of turning recycled plastic into uniform rods. But let me be clear, this isn’t only about rods. The true goal is uniform input material, no matter the shape.
✅ It could be rods, thick filaments, square sticks or any consistent, reliable form
✅ The key is to create controlled, predictable input for DIY filament extruders
✅ Especially for recycled plastic, this step is critical to avoid frustration and improve final filament quality
Why uniform input matters:
✔️ Reduces jamming and feeding issues
✔️ Improves diameter consistency of your filament
✔️ Makes DIY filament production easier, even for beginners
This project is completely community-driven. You can always comment to share your ideas or request specific content you want to see. I’ll do my best to test, share and explore together with the community.
If you’re curious, love recycling or want to help make 3D printing more eco-friendly, follow along, share your ideas and let’s make this real together ♻️
