Why I spent 2 years trying to print a middle finger After two years of trial and error, I finally turned a plastic water bottle into 3D printable filament — and successfully printed with it! From cutting the bottle into strips, feeding it through my homemade machine, dialing in the perfect temps, and battling with settings, I watched as my pulley spun and transformed trash into a roll of usable 1.7mm filament. The first thing I printed? A tiny middle-finger plant pot — because this journey deserved a sassy little win after everything it put me through. This is just the beginning. I'm going to share how you can build this machine yourself (It’s called the PETamentor2) — with a full parts list, wiring/parts guide, and setup instructions. The possibilities for recycling are endless, and I’m so pumped to keep going. DM me if you have questions — we’re in this together. ♻️✨
One trip to the pet store and now I have 2 pupating hornworms. And they pupated the same day! Someone supervise my next visit 😂 But seriously…Who’s excited to raise 2 more moths?!
