Video Description

At https://www.kiwico.com/cnc and code CNC you'll get 50% off your first month of KiwiCo! PET Bottles are everywhere, but did you know that you could recycle them into 3D printing filament and this at home! Let me show you how I used the parts of an old Ender-3 to build a filament maker out of it. I also tested the strength of this material, which can even be improved by a trick!
