Polyformer is designed to be built with mostly 3D printed parts and easily obtainable components commonly found on 3D printers. Most makers can build it themselves. The modular architecture allows users to easily swap out parts and modify the machine to their liking. The unique vertical L shape allows the users to easily interact with the machine and also minimizes the amount of space that the machine takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy using a slicing tool built with stacked bearings to cut the water bottle into a long and consistent ribbon, the user can then feed the ribbon into the repurposed 3D printer hotend which thermoforms the ribbon into a 1.75mm filament as it goes through the brass nozzle with corresponding hole size. The user can then mount one end of the filament on the red motorized spool to automize the process. The spool can be easily taken off to be transferred and used on a 3D printer. The outer shell can be easily opened thanks to the geared mechanism, it can be closed the same way to keep the user away from touching the hotend. The entire machine was printed using recycled PET bottles which gives a nice translucent look to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinted parts not included.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKit includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComponent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBOM Qty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFEP Wire 18awg (red, green, white)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFEP Wire 18awg black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFemale Spade Connectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForked Spade Connectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e623 Bearings 3x10x4mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e608 Bearing 8mm x 22mm x 7mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.6mm drill bit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel 12mmx300mm Tubing or Rod \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePTFE Lubricant (spray for US orders, semi-solid for rest of word)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2mm allen key -
