Hello Thomas, I'm from India, I have got you through instructables, firstly congratulations for your grand prize in green future contest which you really deserve.🎉🎉 I read your instructables, it took me several hour to completely understand your project 😅😅, and I really appreciate how you showcase your project with a great sense of humour and an emotional connect, (as your last step shows a little bird on the machine, commenting happy recycling), and I love it.❤❤ Also thanks to you for getting me to Dave Hakkens and his org Precious plastic, i have also seen his videos too, (also for several hours) that also gave me the insight about plastic recycling and how anyone in the world can recycle plactic at a relatively small scale, this give us a feeling of hope for the future, I also saw that in the last 10 years how he built his organisation, how he created a community of people with common interests towards a common goal, that's really inspired me. 😃😃 I've recently completed my high school, and preparing for getting to a good engineering college, like you bro, I've a strong intrest in engineering since my early childhood, I've a very miserable childhood as the place where I lived have no exposure to any kind of STEM education, especially my childhood is mainly spent in collecting waste from streets, making something of it, fixing old things, and storing scrap that I've collected since my childhood. Then the year 2020 came, during the pendamic i have gotten major exposure to the KZbin and the world of makers and DIY's, and my new world of possibilities opens, as I'm not native to english primarily, it took me a long time to understand, what they are saying (mainly american and other english countries), I've gotten to the channels like engineering mindset, Real engineering and others alike, this marks the beginning of the new era of my life, as i can now have ascess to the knowledge throughout the world, that's really mind-blowing. You worked very hard to make that, really impressive.

Thank you very much for your insightful comment. I really appreciate people like you, who have a strong love of engineering and the enviroment. Thank you for comenting and I was looking through your instructables and love your work! The interenet can be such an amazing place to learn engineering as I am completely self taught like you! I wish you all the very best for your engineering degree and I am sure I am sure we will see each others work again :) I am so glad this project as well as others has inspired you, and I can't wait to see what else you make. I will be building and posting an instructable about the next phaze of this machine (widing it up for printing) so stay tuned. Your english is much better than you say. Stay creative.

My dude, you just gave me an excuse to buy a welder. Great work!

It'll be one of the best investments ever. I'd look into auto-darkening helmets and checkout second hand welders if you're looking for a deal!

The cool part is now you can chop it up again to make small refined pellets and add it to some new pellets of the same material in what ever ratio works. Then make filament. Or molds!
@tin_foil_hat9917 күн бұрын
Yeah! It is super exciting and I will be posting a new video showcasing how to cool and wind it into filament, as well as some other super easy mould ideas. Thank you for your comment.

Cool now turn it into filament
@tin_foil_hat9917 күн бұрын
That's the plan! I will post a video once I have finalised the pulling and winding mechanism.

What is the motor power there?
@tin_foil_hat9917 күн бұрын
It runs on 12V DC, and around 5-8A (The current draw will change as the strain on the motor changes). You can find alternatives and other motor specs on my instructables (Link in description) at 'Step 5'.

I cant copy and paste the link...whaaaahhhhhh

That's odd... I tried replacing the link in the description (probably a bug on KZbin's side). Could you check if it works now? Here is the link again in case it doesn't work: www.instructables.com/Low-Cost-Plastic-Extruder-for-Fillament-Production/
