Get to Know Us
The Recreator3D Project started off as a very small personal build and grew into an unimaginable vast community of likeminded goal oriented individuals.
Recreator3D Brand Ambassadors and Project Contributors have been crucial assets to why our branded build has become the community's favorite pultrusion unit within the RepRap Family.
Recreator3D focuses on reusing our aging 3DPrinter technologies and kits into new viable pultrusion units, giving old tech new life and giving you viable valuable 3D filament from your plastic waste!
Reduce, Reuse, Recreate!

Offering Recreator3D Build Workshops
Karl offers 3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing Solutions. He's been involved in 3D printing for years, studied it at Master’s level since 2021 with an interest in pultrusion along the way.
Since 2024, has built and showcased Recreator3D machines like the MK5 and MK6, sharing them at SMRRF2024 along side Doug @dreamsvoid.
Karl runs a studio in Manchester offering workshops and builds, with groups like plasticshed.org. He'll be at SMRRF again this coming season and hopes to keep promoting Recreator3D across the UK along offering build workshops.

Uses only recycled materials in projects
-
RMRRF2025 Recreator3D Ambassador
Blake first discovered Recreator through CNC Kitchen’s Mk5 video. After struggling with a different pultrusion build in early 2024, switched gears and built a Mk6, eventually designing a full-size mod that combined the Mk6 and Meld into one machine using parts from a stripped-down Ender.
Hooked on recycling, later built a rotary sifter mod for the Mk6 to automate sorting grinds, followed by a Mk5 spooler mod at the request of Josh, Recreator’s founder.
Now strives to use only recycled material for my projects and run Blissa Studios, where he 3D prints and sells tabletop RPG accessories at Blissastudios.com.

A maker, tinker, streamer, and content creator, Ace has been 3D printing for over a decade. Ever since he started printing, he has been struck by how much waste is generated and what opportunity that provides for recycling.
Recently, he has begun to post content related to his maker activities among his other videos. You can find Ace’s content on YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, etc. at

Garry Lumpkin
-
South Mississippi Recreator3D Ambassador
Based in South Mississippi, Garry Lumpkin is the creative mind behind Sage Hearts Creations, where he blends art, sustainability, and innovation. When he first discovered Recreator3D, the idea of turning plastic bottles into filament immediately resonated with his values. With help from Joshua Taylor, he got his own machine and jumped into the process—learning that recycling isn’t just eco-conscious, it’s hands-on and humbling.
Early on, Garry produced a batch of rPET filament that was too thick to use, so he set it aside. A year later, inspired by a new idea, he reprocessed it—and it worked. That small success became a powerful reminder: persistence leads to progress. For Garry, Recreator3D isn’t just a tool—it’s a way to transform both material and mindset.

Philippines Recreator3D Ambassador
-
Teacher and Educations Coordinator
Mathew Boisson is the founder of Sponsor-A-Can.org and a passionate advocate for sustainable, community-led innovation. In the Philippines, he successfully used RECREATOR3D to turn recycled PET bottles into 3D printer filament—creating essential replacement parts and proving the power of local, circular manufacturing.
With strong support from leaders like Governor James Edduba and Mayor Joel Tagaotao, Mathew is expanding efforts through the Save-A-Cart program and fundraising with recycled art and apparel. His goal is to grow this model in the Philippines and bring it to the U.S., showing that recycling and 3D printing can transform waste into opportunity anywhere.
