Other Maker Projects¶
Welcome to the My Machines Extra Projects hub. A true open-source workshop never stops evolving. This section is dedicated to the experimental hardware, custom add-ons, and peripheral tools designed to elevate your entire digital fabrication ecosystem.
From pushing the boundaries of multi-color 3D printing to embracing the circular economy by recycling plastics into usable filament, these projects empower you to take complete control of your manufacturing pipeline.
-
PET Extruder¶
Embrace sustainable DIY manufacturing. Upcycle standard PET plastic bottles and convert them into high-strength 3D printing filament.
-
Filament Extruder¶
Extrude your own custom filament from industrial pellets or recycled plastic shreds, giving you total control over colors and materials.
-
Injection Molding¶
Desktop-scale plastic injection molding for small batch production. Turn your 3D printed molds into final, mass-produced parts.
-
MMU Addon¶
Multi-Material Unit (MMU) ecosystem for complex, multi-color, and multi-material 3D prints. Compatible with our core Klipper printers.
-
Vacuum Forming¶
DIY vacuum former for creating custom packaging, cosplay visors, and thermoformed plastic parts using 3D printed bucks.
-
Heatbed Controller¶
Custom, open-source PID controller system for standalone heated beds, heated chambers, or specialized thermal enclosures.
