ReCreator 3D Pultrusion PET Recycling Machine - MK6 - Fun Size Build Kit
Learn more at the project page here!
What is it:
We’re not just recycling—we’re recreating. We’re transforming PET1 plastic bottles into high-quality 3D printing filament using pultrusion technology - and you can too! But that’s not all—we’re also repurposing old 3D printer parts, like Ender 3 frames, extruders, and motion systems, to build custom pultrusion units. Instead of tossing outdated machines, we’re using them to power the recycling process itself.
Above: Look for the PET token on any plastic bottle! If you see it, you can turn it into filament!
How it works:
Use our kit to build your new recycling machine
-Print your parts
-Build your kit
-Recycle!
A comprehensive assembly guide alongside our refined and improved kit contents makes it easy for anyone to enjoy the experience! A large community of passionate re-creators are ready to welcome you.

Features:
Pre-Assembled Melt Zone
Included in our MK6 kit is a fully pre-assembled melt zone featuring a ceramic + PEEK isolation standoff - keeping heat everywhere we want it - and nowhere we don't. Simply plug it in, and bolt it on!
Zero at-home crimping
Every wire in your kit is pre-terminated at the correct length - making assembly easier than ever for makers of any skill level.
Bottle Cutter BOM Included
Our kits also include precision ground bearings and other supporting parts for assembling the community bottle cutter. Transform your PET bottles into an 8mm wide strip of plastic ready for pultrusion!
Supporting Modification done right here in Northeast Ohio
We're adding value to obsolete parts right here in Northeast Ohio! From wire harness production to CNC modification. Support local manufacturing alongside your recycling efforts when you buy from us.
Purpose-Built Components
Every component of the melt zone from the heat sink to the nozzle has been modified to offer the smoothest transistion from ribbon to filament. Gone are the days of self sourced builds requiring drilling, chamfering and polishing off-the-shelf components. We also offer every component of the machine seperately - making spare parts quick and easy.
