PET Recycling Machine STL Printable Files

The downloadable 3D printable files are a production-ready set of .STL/.OBJ components used to build and customise the EU FOR ALL PET Bottle Filament Machine. The parts can be downloaded directly from Tinkercad (STL/OBJ export) or accessed as a ready-to-use package, and the companion materials explain what each component does—such as the central structure, side supports, cutter, motor mount, spool, filament joiner and screen protector—and how everything fits into the recycling workflow.

To keep implementation smooth, the resource also includes recommended print parameters (with PETG suggested for heat-resistant sections), a simple tools checklist, and quick access to the Tinkercad models and the YouTube playlist covering assembly, bottle preparation, start-up and printing with recycled PET.

A key added value is the Canva-based companion document, where students label parts, sort required vs. non-required tools, plan bottle-strip measurements, design spool visuals, personalise the recycler in Tinkercad, and link the technical build to sustainability and the SDGs through clear, structured templates.
