Creating another use for your empty plastic bottles and packaging, Filabot aims to recycle plastics to give you a supply of plastic filament for 3D printers.
The Filabot team say that any number of plastic items can be used; including milk bottles, soda and shampoo bottles and product packaging.
By processing these items through the Filabot, plastic pieces up to 4 inches across can be fed into the machine's barrel and melted down at the correct temperature. After extrusion, plastic can be sent through a roller to become the correct diameter for 3D printing, where any oversized pieces are cut away.
The project's Kickstarter campaign managed to secure $32,330 based on a $10,000 goal.
