Thank you. That was interesting and fun. There's something about Joel's childlike wonder that gets you engaged in these videos. You can't help but feel the emotions he's exuding.
It's been tried, but there is quite a bit more to it than just a glorified meat-grinder-with-heater, the machine is the easy bit, stringing out the extrude to the right size , then the cooling and winding take a lot of space and need constant/correct conditions.. I'm sure a practical home machine is possible but nobody has really hit the mark yet.
Not really, if you search for the Lyman Filament extruder, you see, there are People who has created functionating machines. A friend of mine has rebuild the Design of Lyman, which works perfecctly, it's one of the best filaments i've ever used. We both work in an profile extrusion so we get the pellets really easy.
Yeah it should work, but first you'll need to find a way to shred it. But the plastic degrades, the more often it is heated. So the quality will drop of your plastic and filament. If you are trying to extrude ABS Filament or PA, PC etc. you will first need to dry it otherwise you'll get bubbles in your fiament
This is exactly the kind of "hand dyed" look I'd love to be able to get in a filament. It really makes my knitters heart sing! I can't wait to see it printed.
I live in vancouver washington! I never knew I lived sorta close to proto pasta!

I'd love to learn more about the process, heating, mixing... what's happening between the insertion of the pallets and the filament extrusion ;) Thanks Joël, your doing great as a full time content creator !

I rather these short videos than the 1hour live where you don't get as much informations. Under 10', for me, is a good format. Content is important, if I want to loose my time I've got plenty of junk on tv ... Anyway, I really enjoyed this video regardless to the length... As always, quality is better than quantity ;)
Very cool! I know the maker box community loved their copper infused filament from this month’s box.....I ordered a full roll as well as a sample of their candy red metallic.
I hope they start doing filament for the masterspool system. I love seeing Proto Pasta, especially since it's fairly local here in the PNW. I'd love to get a custom color from them.
I've seen a few suppliers offering 'rainbow' filaments but they tend to be expensive or in ABS (boo hiss). I could forsee a HUGE market for the correct colour combinations that have smooth transitions. Being a qualified Interior Designer I understand a bit about how colours work & often, when I'm printing, I look at something & can see how a particular finish &/or colour combination could have improved it greatly. Having access to Proto-Pasta is excellent, I wish I could make my own mixes!
It is incredible how little you need to color filament. I was able to see the process at a local 3d filament maker and I was a bit confused since the abs in the hopper was white but black was coming out.
That's really neat! I would've been interested to see how the machinery works, ensures the proper diameter and all that....but perhaps the next video =)
I think it would be awesome if you made a video on coloring filament with sharpies and stuff and you can show how you can change the colors mid print and stuff
Awesome video!! Had you not been in the video and just narrated it would have been just like a How it's Made video. But then we wouldn't get the needed dose of the awesome hair lol
I know it's a bit late and I know pasta is a pretty small operation...but you guys totally need to come up with some kinda licensing deal that they can sell that mixture as the 3D Nerd Color Change filament...cause I want some lol
You know this is a very small operation because I've worked in a plastic company where we just press a few buttons. Everything is transferred via vacuums and computers And Forklift drivers just change the resin bins. And that was a small company.
Hey Joel, do you know any resources for end users recycling failed prints back into usable filament? I have a box of failed prints using an exotic filament that I really don't want to waste by just throwing it away!
I'm sadly not going to be able to jump into 3d printing for quite some time. Money is currently locked up for me. With me going into college next year I need to save what I can to pay for it. 3D printing looks amazing to me and that you can mix a color is awesome. I would stick to a fiery sort of color with yellow and red being my HS colors. as well as my favorite colors
I never knew they were so close to my house! I can literally be there in 45 minutes. Can I pick up filament at the factory? Or do I still need to order online?
It still amazes me that companies can make a 2lb spool of filament for between $15-$30 (with free shipping). Seems like there's quite a bit of labor setting up the machine.
Quantity. In any manufacturing environment, setup is the biggest single cost in a job (aside from machinery, obviously). When you're running a million spools of a single color, then your setup/teardown costs are split over a much larger output.
What a crazy thing... just pieces of cheap plastic and they still charge so much for it... and its even a hand off process once the color matching is done!! Crazy~
Can anyone give me contact details as I would love some of this multi coloured filament and cannot find it in the UK so am hoping to make contact to see if they would ship to the UK.
Does anyone know what sort of pigment is being buses here? I'm surprised it's something you can put your hand into and then not be stuck with a dyed hand for a week :)
Pook365 Based on what I was able to glean from the video. I think the colors are also pieces of plastic, just densely colored and not a powder like clothing dye. But this is just a guess only.
I would love to make longer content! This is great, Zander! What is your address, so I can send you the sponsorship form. It's really kind of you to know what I want and demand that it happen by supporting me!
Thank you. That was interesting and fun. There's something about Joel's childlike wonder that gets you engaged in these videos. You can't help but feel the emotions he's exuding.
Now, we want this filament making machine at home :)
It's been tried, but there is quite a bit more to it than just a glorified meat-grinder-with-heater, the machine is the easy bit, stringing out the extrude to the right size , then the cooling and winding take a lot of space and need constant/correct conditions..

A friend of mine has rebuild the Design of Lyman, which works perfecctly, it's one of the best filaments i've ever used.
We both work in an profile extrusion so we get the pellets really easy.
No problem, we will wait patiently :) Maybe one day there will be a microwave size (well fridge size will work too) machine.
Does it work with recycled/shredded plastic? like failed prints for example?
Yeah it should work, but first you'll need to find a way to shred it.
But the plastic degrades, the more often it is heated.
So the quality will drop of your plastic and filament.

Cool, Joel! Very excited to see what you can print with that!
I love the idea of having multi colored filament. ❤️ Wish we could get something similar in South Africa.
can you PLEASE print an awesome big HUUUGE print with that roll of filament please? :D Hi from Norway man!
That's the plan!
you're awesome man! can't wait to see :D
Very cool! I know the maker box community loved their copper infused filament from this month’s box.....I ordered a full roll as well as a sample of their candy red metallic.
That was amazing! I had no idea that's how filament was made. Thanks for sharing.
Dude, your pasta turned out 1000x better than I thought it would! I can hardly wait to see how your prints look from that spool!
I wait everyday to,see a new tube. Always amazing.
This just goes to show that there are endless filament pasta-bilities.
That is amazeballs. Finding gradient filament here in oz is hard. Also horribly awesome is how that turned out can't wait to see what you make with it
Vancouver, Washington
Weed legal there
Ergo
Psychedelic filament
Sounds great to me!!!
When I saw your rainbow gradient, I thought it would be totally cool to print scales onto fabric with it.
It’s okay Joel that it’s your first time, it’s not about how experienced you are, it’s how good it is.

Incredible video. Just brilliant. You have created a 10 spools in one spool. Ha. Awesome!
Looking forward that multicolored print.
Should of printed a funnel ;) Thanks for sharing. I love seeing these kind of videos.
It is incredible how little you need to color filament. I was able to see the process at a local 3d filament maker and I was a bit confused since the abs in the hopper was white but black was coming out.
Love these types of videos. Keep up the great work.
That looks like such a fun time, they should make that available to the public some how. I wanna make my own colored filament :(
It’s like a 3d printer but it only prints spools...😆
It looks like the same tech, yeah
It prints filament!
Love the jazzy intro
i love it too i wish i knew the song name
I love these filament making videos with proto pasta! You guys should collab more :)
cool. always wanted to make filaments and do whacky colours etc.
they need to make some more of that stuff :)
What a cool video thanks for sharing. I love videos like this. I loved the last video you made that was like this.
Thanks for the video, well done
Super cool video.
Joel is the Bob Ross of making filament......We make no mistakes! Just happy little accidents
"It's what 3D printers need to eat"
... For a split second, I thought you meant people who 3D print... I feel stupid now.. xD
That's really neat! I would've been interested to see how the machinery works, ensures the proper diameter and all that....but perhaps the next video =)
2:48 Nice Hat!
Would love to do that, thanks for sharing.
Great video! Always awesome to see more 3D Printing nerd! #highfive!
Sweet!
I think it would be awesome if you made a video on coloring filament with sharpies and stuff and you can show how you can change the colors mid print and stuff
In the robotic overlord future Joel and Proto pasta will be the head chefs
Awesome video!! Had you not been in the video and just narrated it would have been just like a How it's Made video. But then we wouldn't get the needed dose of the awesome hair lol
You're easily one of my favorite people tonight, Adam.
Awesome! that just made my night! lol
Didn't know Proto Pasta was so close to Portland.
Hey joel ! Great video. I guess this was difficult to print with all this colors and different pigments.
I wish I got sponsored by these types of companies but great vid👍😀😋🤚🏻
new pastabilities
cant wait to see what you print with it. you should use the GMAX and use the full spool ;)
Very cool to see. First time I've seen a video like this. Now who is going to be the first to start a make your own filament company?
Making sure I watch through ads
By the way Joel, did you ever test the Vellemann K8200 printer?
I know it's a bit late and I know pasta is a pretty small operation...but you guys totally need to come up with some kinda licensing deal that they can sell that mixture as the 3D Nerd Color Change filament...cause I want some lol
Now I want a parfait.
RIGHT???
I was hoping to see your multicolor filament in use.
soon...
Looking forward to it
You know this is a very small operation because I've worked in a plastic company where we just press a few buttons. Everything is transferred via vacuums and computers And Forklift drivers just change the resin bins. And that was a small company.
I should get a job there lol
Great Video 👍!
Hey Joel, do you know any resources for end users recycling failed prints back into usable filament? I have a box of failed prints using an exotic filament that I really don't want to waste by just throwing it away!
this seems like it would be fun for a colorblind person like me xD
levi troyer oh man, I would love to see what you make!

I never knew they were so close to my house! I can literally be there in 45 minutes. Can I pick up filament at the factory? Or do I still need to order online?
I would call / make contact first before driving down. I don't think they are against locals doing this :)
I will.... Thanks Joel....
Is there a video somewhere where you used this filament you made? I would love to check it out!!
Not yet - soon!
you made RGB filament Joel!
I would love to buy some multicolored filament do they sell it and if so where?
Can you make filament if you take a tour at factory or is it just for certain people
I want that filament
What is the name of the substance used to colorize. where can I find it ?
It still amazes me that companies can make a 2lb spool of filament for between $15-$30 (with free shipping). Seems like there's quite a bit of labor setting up the machine.
Quantity. In any manufacturing environment, setup is the biggest single cost in a job (aside from machinery, obviously). When you're running a million spools of a single color, then your setup/teardown costs are split over a much larger output.
first thought vancouver, canada
What a crazy thing... just pieces of cheap plastic and they still charge so much for it... and its even a hand off process once the color matching is done!! Crazy~
pesto12601 yeah but they’re a small company making unique filaments and doing more for the community
top cool stuf
Have a filament that looks like cast iron?
I want to do that
Also, how can you recycle filament at home
Where the hell are you?
I would looovveee to do that too!
I never knew I wanted to make filiment.
Right???
Did anyone else notice how many buckets are in front of that exit door. Looks like a safety issue to me. SAFETY JOEL WE NEED YOU!!!
Should call it nerd acid trip.
Can anyone give me contact details as I would love some of this multi coloured filament and cannot find it in the UK so am hoping to make contact to see if they would ship to the UK.
Wait til you past guys hear about the 3devo
Does anyone know what sort of pigment is being buses here?
I'm surprised it's something you can put your hand into and then not be stuck with a dyed hand for a week :)

What's up joel look like fun
why didn't you print something with it :(
You mean then? I have printed with it. Will show in another video. Have to leave you wanting more :)
so it doesn't use a bigger die
pleeeassseee tell me the name of this song! 0:22
Terorist Potato I’ll look it up when I’m home this evening. I know I got it off of epidemic sound.
omg thanks so much
Alright, it's Before Chill by Yomoti. All music in this video is done by Yomoti, via EpidemicSound.
Can you make me roll
Protopasta is expensive
This explains it. They are a small company.
Yes it is. And it is worth it.
yeah.. and the raw ingredients are DIRT CHEAP... so they are basically making huge bank on each roll!~
They have a lot of overhead costs per unit they sell since they only produce so few and they have to make a living too.
guilbert benjamin I think it’s ok cus its stronger than many of my other prints, and has a unique look
