I finished the Upcycler V3 today! YAY!

I started printing the new models I made yesterday this morning. There were only two parts (the main body and the short body) but they still took all day lol .

I also had to fix my 3D printer in between the two prints because it started leaking filament out of its throat and the melted filament dripped onto the prints and left these weird brown streaks.

After the parts were finished I replaced the old parts with the new. That took a whole hour because all the smaller parts are built onto these two biggest parts, and I use very fine mechanical screws (which take a long time to install/remove). The new parts work really well, tho! They solved the old problem of the bases cracking when you screwed in their screws too tight.

Anyway, this is it! I tested the Upcycler V3 and it worked well! Just like its previous versions, you cut PET filament from 2L soda bottles into 7mm wide strips and feed them through the nozzle at 210 C at 150 steps/s.

Check out my GitHub repo if you want to build this yourself! YIPPIEEEEE!
