FLL Team MC2 | Bottle to 3D Printer Filament System Assembly @FLLTeamMC2 | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
This is a machine that will let you recycle drinking water bottles (PETE) into 3D printer filament. This machine is based on REPRAP Arduino Mega with RAMPs 1.4 shield and 3D printer stepper motor, heater and thermocouple.
The files here provide a chassis to assemble the boards and power supply under a wood board with the heater, bottle shredder and gear box on top of the board.
We printed used PETG 3 layers for all walls and 25% infill. Supports on the plate.
Here is the playlist guide to how to build everything:

The spacer is for adding the LCD smart display board to this existing model:
thingiverse.com/thing:1855797
The gear box is made from this exiting model:
thingiverse.com/thing:5200645
The bottle shredder we used is this existing model:
thingiverse.com/thing:4946971
We made our own bottle shredder if you can't grind the bearing that is less complicated but does need some work. Those files are included.
We have a webpage with more details and what parts we purchased to build this.
