Recycle 3D Prints and other Plastics at Home | Plastic Shredding | BB3D MK3

This is a great video!
Would you be willing to share the 3D printer files for the chute and cover you built? I purchased the same shredder from DIY Chen and I’m currently getting it set up for regular safe use. Thanks!

What about PET?

While this is an interesting topic to me, this thing looks extremely dangerous as it is and I would not want to have a machine like this in my house. I have two little kids, who are very curious about all the things that I work with and if i built something like that, I would implement two safety features. I mean not only for others but also to prevent myself from doing something dumb: First, a lid, that prevents reaching into the machine when it's on and prevents it from turning on when open. And second, two operation switches with some distance between them, that need to be held with both hands to turn it on. I know this makes it harder to work with but I rather work harder, than have something bad happen to anyone.

It will blend ? :)

si pero el gasto en moldes es lo que para la compra de esta maquina

i printed in 100 % SOLID PLA... am i screwed in converting this 100 % pieces of PLA..... I need a melter... anything you reccommend ?.. can i convert it back into 1.75 size filament that is used in 3D printing ?

I wish grocery bags could be recycled into filament. It's some sort of HDPE.

You don't worry about warping from not letting the plastic cool slowly in the mold?

"non-descript fish hook"

please print a chain cover in the cam view fingers so close. otherwise I love this

Only one thing to say. CHAIN GUARD!!.
Great video. Keep up the good work.

But the real question is: will it blend?

I remelt my PLA in resin molds using a toaster oven. I make things like pendants, shot glasses and coasters.

No matter how much I recycle steppers alley h channels petg tubing heaters controllers etc.. I Will cost 200 in Australia just for a auger bit a the tube to house that as the extruder... It's so fkn expensive to build one even with half the parts 🤬🤬🤬

Time to become even more broke I guess...

Can you make filament with this ?, I know about the pulltrusion versions , but want to find another way to make filment from ground up scrap prints and bottles that you can't normally cut .

Did you do any other change to the wiring besides adding the potentiometer? What channels did you connect it to?.

Amazing work, Ryan! It blends!

I have been looking for some good methods like this for a while! Thank you for your suggestion!

Hi Ryan. Did you experiment with HDPE or PP in the Blendtec? I've been using a credit card shredder for HDPE with similar results as yours. My machine is a little better at separating the chips, but like in your video, the pieces are larger than I would like them to be. Appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos.

how much mk3 injection machine? and where to buy it?

That’s great. Now how do we convince you to design an simple diy extruder to make our own color mixes/filaments.

Recycle plastic video? I think Ryan made this machine to get rid of that scooter motor, not to recycle plastic. Next we need a video on re-using scrap aluminum molds to make a Tesla.
Great video Ryan!

You mentioned that the mold could be 3D printed. Could you provide more information about it?

Ah yes finally a way of me getting hold of any plastic material in the UK lmao

👍👍👍☝️☝️

I am so jealous of you.. like, green eyes, worst of humanity, I'm a bad person, actually jealous of you.

It's going to be a long time till I can build one of your machines but that's going to be a very happy day for me.

You mentioned you wanted to use more recycle material and I’m glad you followed through. I would like see to the limits of 3 cubic INch volume, maybe different molds to show the drawback and where not to go when designing a piece

Great info, Ryan!!

Nice video as always! Is there any additional steps should I do before switching materials when injecting?
