Easily Reutilize waste directly from

your home recycling bin and start Recreating!

​

The Recreator3D is a low-cost DIY Pultrusion Project; tailored to upcycle aging

and salvaged 3D printer parts you're already acquainted with, empowering you

to construct your very own pultrusion unit.

​

Help reshape our future's recycling methods, one bottle at a time!

What is Pultrusion? 


Pultrusion is a continuous process

of manufacturing fiber plastics. 

 

The term combining

"pull" and "extrusion".

​

As opposed to extrusion;

which pushes the material,

pultrusion pulls the material.

Sugguested Recreator3D DIY Builds

Below you'll find our most currently supported and sugguested

DIY Recreator3D Pultrusion Builds.

The MK5Kit: Ender 3 and The MK6: Fun Size

RECREATOR 3D MK5KIT.jpg

MK5Kit: Ender 3

  • Utilizing the Ender 3 proved to be one of the best and simplest methods to kickstart PET Pultrusion.

​

  • If you've been 3D printing for just a year, you likely already grasp most of the necessary concepts.

​

  • The Ender 3 operates with just one motor, adhering to basic printer principles without necessitating firmware adjustments.

​

  • The MK5Kit Spooler boasts a Dual-Geared Single Motor, rendering it one of the sturdier spooler available in the collection.

MK6: Fun Size

​

  • About 40% of our community wanted a cost-effective kit for easy access. We're aiming to provide a one-stop-shop experience for enthusiasts 

    (NOTE: small parts kits are still currently in development - but the project is still free and currently available - BOM List is in the Written Notes).

​

  • At 1/3rd the size of the MK5 and 3x faster - The Spooler evolved from MK4 Mini, now with a Dual Dualed-Geared single motor for even more robust and faster pull speeds.

​

  • We focused on a compact build volume matching Ender 2 Pro's dimensions (165 x 165 x 180 mm) for printing simplicity.

​

  • MK6 uses specific 12Volt parts for the targeted build size, rather than a salvaged Ender 3's 24Volt. Users with an Ender 3 or other printers should consider MK5:Kit.

     I advocate for providing affordable avenues for individuals to repurpose their waste into new creations. Empowering people from the start with easy solutions and a fun long lasting educational experience.

 

     By keeping plastics within consumers' households; we halt their emission journey right at our doorstep, preventing further environmental harm. Otherwise plastics can venture beyond; risking detrimental impacts such as burning or marine pollution, instead of being effectively recycled and reused.

 

     To mend a broken system, we must fundamentally shift the paradigm.
