Abstract
The aim of this paper was to observe the behavior of recycled 3D printed polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) specimens and 3D printed raw specimens. In order to extrude the recycled grains into a filament, a Felfil evo filament extruder was used. The recycled filament was extruded from PETG at a temperature of 195°C and with a speed of 7 rpm according to the manufacturers’ requirements. Subsequently, different colors of the raw filament were printed on tensile specimens using Prusa i3 MK3S Original to compare the results between the recycled filament and the manufactured one. After printing the samples, the tensile tests were performed on the Zwick machine, with a capacity of 5KN. For the determination of the strain state in the test specimens, digital image correlation was used. A good correlation between the results was observed. Digital image correlation helped to better understand of the distribution of true principal strain in the recycled and raw specimens.
