About this model
At first sight it might seem odd to make something that chops up valuable 3D plastic filament into pellets. However, if you have a Filastruder it can be very useful in making master batch colorant pellets from natural resin and powdered pigment. One can also make colored pellets for a bench top injection molding machine. Recently I replaced my old dead 3D printer that used 3 mm filament with a new one that uses 1.75 mm filament. I was stuck with 3 rolls of 3 mm filament that I could not use in the new 1.75 mm 3D printer. With this pelletizer I was able to chop up one of the 3 mm ABS reels, 1.6 pounds, into pellets in 40 minutes. Now I can use the pellets in the Filastruder to make useable 1.75 mm filament. I also pelletized 1.75 mm filament and it worked just as well. So the 3 mm hole will…
