Printing PET from bottle

Hi,
Let me introduce myself, I am a minimaker and since 2018, I have become passionate about creating IoT projects including model making.
On October 26th I was in Rome for the Maker Faire and I saw a guy converting bottles into filaments for the 3D printer.
I searched online and there are many projects, do you happen to know the topic, can you help me choose the project?
A thousand thanks

Hi,

Yes I know very well this topic as I designed the “pullstruder” project almost 4 years ago.

You can find everything needed to build yours here : PullStruder: from plastic bottle to PET filament | Hackaday.io

It’s an easy to build and very cheap machine.
I have been using it for more than 3 years now and printed more than 5kg of plastic bottle filament.
The process is reliable trust me !
