Hardly single handedly. He is standing on the shoulders of many many giants. As well as walking on their backs by failing to acknowledge the designs he is claiming as his own.

[@pm5906]

​@jerbear7952 lol you think anyone in shredding, winding, extrusion, press are ever going to mention the inventors? If they were songs they would be labeled "traditional".

[@GoughCustom]

Look awesome so far! During the metal screw test, and the phone test, you can see the blades moving and impinging on each other a bit. Looks like it would be beneficial to work out a way to compress the blade stack! Maybe a shaft collar at either end to lock the blade stack in place, and then set-screws going through the shaft collar to press inwards against the blade stack to provide compression?

[@ActionBOX]

Thanks for your support 😃. I like your suggestion and will definitely look into designing that. Ps. I checked out your channel and it looks awesome 😎. I can see why shredder blades would interest you 😜. Cheers, Dave

[@GoughCustom]

@@ActionBOX thanks Dave! I've been really enjoying your channel as well mate!

[@1992jamo]

I don't know if this is just me, but I'd seriously want an emergency stop button that kills the power, rather than telling the Arduino to stop. Just because if the Arduino or motor drivers go haywire, or don't respond, the button won't do anything. Most likely not going to happen, but I'd really want something that cannot fail.

[@ActionBOX]

Hi Max, I must say, this is a great idea that is extremely important to implement. In my case I always had someone with me to hit the power switch not shown in the video in case of a disaster, but indeed I agree with you 100% that safety here is imperative. Thanks for leaving your awesome comment, and I hope you enjoyed the video regardless 😃. Cheers, Dave

[@nemesis851_]

Dang you’ve just about hit that golden YT milestone - congrats

[@ActionBOX]

Thanks Makers Muse, we appreciate your support 😃. We are using Chromoly steel blades which are much tougher. These new blades are also much smaller so there is more torque applied onto the plastic from the drive shaft. Let me know if you’d like to collaborate 😉 - Dave

As the owner of a CNC shop, this video inspired me! I was dumbfounded by the price of aluminum - so I started buying scrap and casting it into the billets needed. Ended up getting into machining of HDPE and same thing, dumbfounded by the cost of HDPE billets! I built a steam furnace to melt it, but decided using shredded feedstock would be more efficient and higher quality, I like the design of your shredder!

[@ActionBOX]

That’s a cool story. I am glad to hear that our design sparks ideas 😃

[@Biketunerfy]

Shredders blades like those and bigger are usually made using an alloyed steel called “Manganese Steel” or “Mangaloy” also “Hadfield Steel” because this is one if the most toughest and abrasive steels there is and as a bonus the steel actually self repairs over time because it work hardens and gets extremely hard and tough up to 65 + HRC which is high speed steel territory but it does not harden all the way through, only the parts that are doing the work so the tips and edges and as soon as they start to wear the new steel hardens underneath so in essence it self repairs constantly holding an edge but that’s not all, because the new steel underneath is softer it’s has very high impact toughness whilst resisting wear on the work hardened edges. This is why it’s used in shredders and crushers excavator bucket teeth things like that and you’d be surprised the things it’s used in. It’s almost impossible to machine even with TC (Tungsten Carbide) due to its work hardening properties, it is usually cut to shape with plasma cutters or laser cutters due to its crazy properties and then ground, Anyway I just thought it was relevant to what is going on here.

The indestructible Nokia was destroyed because IT WANTED TO! It thought *“Enough is enough, it's time to move on!”*

[@ActionBOX]

[@poloska9471]

I consider that a Nokia victory... it broke the shredder before getting fully mauled so it's victorious yet again... literal steel nails get rekd and the nokia is just like... meh... put the battery back in and let's see a do-over... I bet the Nokia will make it out with a couple of scratches. That thing is without a doubt absolutely indestructible. I dont see why we need all of these fancy shmansy fighter jets when we have Nokia that can do both electronic warfare AND bunker/tank-busting percision KOs at a high enough velocity, fired out of standard artilery of course... but noooo we need 32 trillion dollars of debt instead. Mount that bitch on a Walmart drone and I bet it could down the F-35. In fact, I am challenging the Russian bots/intelligence officer reading this comment to try it and then give me a reward later when I win them the Ukraine war with this comment. Nuff said.

[@achannelwithnopurpose1977]

I have an idea for the machine key issue: Make the shaft hexagonal. The shaft can still transfer the torque to the blades but the shredder will be more robust as the bigger shaft as a whole is obviously going to be more stress resistant than the smaller machine key. Some Shredder designers have already done this and it definitely worked wonders.

4:34 LMAO I couldn't have ever predicted how fast that thing consumed itself!

[@ActionBOX]

Haha it’s a powerful machine 😅

[@theboz1419]

You can put a grate with .250 holes evenly spaced below the blades. This will make the shread size smaller or larger determined y the size of the holes. But, that would probably work better if the speed was much faster. The grinders we used in plastic had the grates in placed so that we could get consistent sized regrind to be recycled back into our extrusion process. The grates were curved to the diameter of the blades and they had a small gap. So you get a slice effect as the plastic went through the holes.

[@ActionBOX]

Sweet, thanks for the insight.

Congratulations for the project. Every a while you should reverse the rotation for a little bit so that if something gets stuck it disengages and doesn't block the rotation. In this way it does not burden the mechanics. However, Nokia fought to the end leaving its mark.

[@ActionBOX]

Great idea. I agree. The Nokia did indeed put up a good fight

[@fabiobosco7545]

@@ActionBOX Another tip. I couldn't figure out which drive you used for the brushless (if you give me the code it would be interesting), but often they have an analog output from which a variable can be output. If there were and were possible to have the signal of the torque developed by the motor, jamming detection and inversion could occur. If it weren't there, it would be enough to put two halls on the crown gears of the motors and check their rotation or slowdown. At that point, if it slows down or stops, it means that it is jammed.
