Save up to 90% on your 3D printing costs

Every filament and piece of plastic you've seen started as plastic pellets. While a spool of filament (1kg) costs $20 – $60, the same amount in pellets is just $3 – $8. You can save up to 90% on printing costs by upgrading your 3D printer with my universal Pellet-Extruder-Printhead.

Recycle failed prints and plastic into anything

Recycle failed prints and plastic into anything

With a Greenboy Pellet-Extruder-Printhead, you can recycle any plastic waste—like empty filament spools, water bottles, yogurt cups, and failed prints—into new objects. Simply shred the plastic into pieces smaller than 0.2 inches (5 mm) and 3D print with them again.

3D print with chocolate, sugar or anything else melting in the range: Ambient – 330 C°

It's true! You can 3D print chocolate with my Pellet-Extruder-Printhead. Though not originally intended, any meltable material smaller than 0.2 inches (5 mm) works fine. For food safety, most parts in contact with food are stainless steel.

Advantages of my Greenboy Pellet Extruder

3D printing footage

Extremely Universal

Thanks to the concept of using 3D printable adapters, you can use this extruder on almost any 3D Printer

Lightweight ~ 700 grams

Through innovative thinking I managed to replace a lot of metals parts with 3D printable plastic parts and this significantly reduced the weight

Most inexpensive Pellet Extruder

Through innovative thinking and some new approaches I managed to reduce the production costs, which allows to have a lower price

Easy to use

Thanks to some special features, it is quite easy to use this pellet extruder, because many problems conventional 3D Pellet Extruders have like unloading pellets have been solved

125 – 200g/h Flowrate

Depending on the material you use, its size, shape and viscosity, you can expect to achieve a maximum flowrate between 125 – 200 grams per hour with a 1mm nozzle.

The Person behind Greenboy3D

Hi, my name is Kristian, I'm 23 years old and my mission is to make Pellet 3D Printing globally less expensive and more accessible…

Back in the year 2022 I was very frustrated with the cost of 3D Printing and especially the waste it produces. At that time, I knew that 3D printing directly with Plastic Pellets & Shredded waste is possible.

But there were no low cost options, and it also seemed like as if the 3D printing industry doesn't have much interest in developing this technology, despite its great potential.

This frustrated me even more, so I decided to develop my own Pellet Extruder without having any knowledge about engineering at that time…

For more than 2 years I struggled, worked extremely hard and spent most of my income on the development while living under poor conditions…

No matter how hard times were, I never gave up and this why Greenboy3D exists today…

Control color and transparency level of your prints

Instead of buying pre-colored filament, you can buy plastic pellets and color pigments. Mix pellets with your chosen color at a fraction of the filament cost.

Frequently Asked Questions & their Answers

Yes, retraction works with my Pellet Extruder similarly as it does with Filament Extruders, by reversing the Extruder Motor direction. There will be ready to use slicer profiles and guides that will teach how to find the right slicer settings for your individual use case.
