This article may be confusing or unclear to readers. In particular, the article mixes up the use of "recyclebot" as a generic noun for DIY filament squeezers and RecycleBot the family of GPLv3 machines. Please help clarify the article. There might be a discussion about this on the talk page.(November 2020) (Learn how and when to remove this message)
A recyclebot (or RecycleBot) is an open-source hardware device for converting waste plastic into filament for open-source 3D printers like the RepRap.[1] Making DIY 3D printer filament at home is both less costly and better for the environment than purchasing conventional 3D printer filament.[2][3][4] In following the RepRap tradition there are recyclebot designs that use mostly 3-D printable parts.[5]
