Ultimate version V2.5, see Nov 19, 2019 Updates at BOP This is the V2.5 version of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3874671 I tried several pelletizer, but the venturebit's one is absolutely better than all others. Carefully read the article at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2007009 for software, hints etc. I made some remix to it, however, to make it even better. My remixes: - added filament (or pet stripe) aligner straight to bit - modified pellets wayout to front - added pellett chute to avoid it flying around - added 3rd hole to body for 10mm screw rods to counterbalance nema17 weight - added support to motor plate - two 6800Z bearing balls to keep stable the drill bit - Arduino Uno as speed processor (I own many of them) and CNC shield - remixed electronic box to fit Arduino - use of Herringbone gears, self centering and low backlash - remixed motor clamp to hold cheap 12V 200rpm geared motor - rotated all by 90°, due to pellet not outflowing correctly in horizontal position - choice between small and big geared motors The small motor (named motor1) is able to strip bottles and pelletize 1.75mm filament, not the 2.85mm one. To pelletize 2.85mm filament you'll have to mount the big motor (named motor2) and its support2_right (see pictures above and instructions below) Firmware for Arduino in thing files.
