In this period I was learning about different systems for recycling and reusing plastic from a DIY perspective, when I came to know about this open hardware.
Kind of. I’ll have to check out their shredder designs. I bought a filistruder for a local makerspace awhile back, because I wanted to be able to reuse my bad 3d prints and supports etc, but wanted it to be available to a wider community since I wouldn’t use it enough to justify the cost. Unfortunately, at the time, solutions for shredding/granulating solid prints were few and far between (and expensive to make or buy). And if you can’t get the plastic small enough, the extruder on its own isn’t terribly useful. I’d very much like to find a decent solution so I can get this going again.
Decentralizing the system of some plastic waste with these machines is really interesting. The price for obtaining a good machine is not very affordable and seems to require a demanding installation.
