<![CDATA[Based on data from the national waste information system, total waste in Indonesia in 2022 will be 36.1 million tons per year. Referring to this data, there is still a lack of waste processing and requires quite large costs for waste processing resulting from the increase in population, changes in consumption patterns and people's lifestyles. As a solution, researchers have developed a tool to make 3D printing filament using used bottles as the main material. The tool is equipped with a stepper motor that controls the process of winding plastic bottle tape into 3D printing filament. Regulating the rotation of the stepper motor and controlling the tool as a whole uses an Arduino UNO microcontroller and a potentiometer. Based on research results, on PET and PP bottles, speed control results were obtained for PET bottles using a speed of 49 rpm, the results obtained were good with a diameter of 1.75 mm. and for pp bottles it is at a speed of 26 rpm. For the PP type, good quality filament results were obtained with a diameter of 1.75 mm. in further research to use PID control so that PWM changes are more stable for motor rotation, use a power supply with a more stable output, and determine the right angle for cutting plastic bottles to produce the same cut.]]>
