I finished building the heating component for the Upcycler today! I connected the ceramic heater to the MOSFET module, and I inserted both the heater and the thermistor into the heat block. I secured the heat block onto the L-Bracket using an adapted 0.4mm nozzle (I expanded it to 1/16in). The entire physical build for the Upcycler is complete! I will work on an improved code now!

This is sick! Do you have to process the water bottles before running it through the upcycler?
@cadencrouch88 yea! I heat 2L soda bottles using a heat gun to get rid of bumps, then I cut them into 7mm strips to feed through the nozzle.
