MakerPET- Mini

This machine is a second, more compact model that uses the innovative dual filament drive system commonly used in 3D printers instead of a motor with a reduction gearbox and a winding spool. Like the first model, it transforms strips of discarded PET bottles into filament, but without the need to clamp and wind them around a cylinder, simplifying the process. This project is an initiative of the Rio de Janeiro State University (ESDI/UERJ) by Product Design students, as an outreach project for public schools and NGOs.

Most of the pieces are original; the other few pieces, such as the spool for the PET strips and the spool for the filament puller, were modified from:

These pieces will soon also have original designs. And new versions will be perfected by undergraduate design students participating in the extension project.
