What happened to Version 3?

Found your channel today and I've already watched almos all the videos. YOur channel is great and what you do is amazing and the best thing for the environmetnt. I've got my workshop as well, both maker and electronics, but is quite small for this big machines. I hope that in the future I'll be abte to recycle plastic as well and use is tiwth my 3D printers. Very nice job!
When I find that you are supporting precious plastic as a patron, I was really amazed. 😲. I'm a fan of you.
I think the biggest challenge is finding a way to repurpose plastic into something that people want. I mean, those lamp shades, garbage bins and picture frames are nice and all, but how many can you make before you don't need anymore? Also, a lot of the plastic I have tends to be clear, making for unintersting designs.

you could sell the pellets to companies on ebay I bet
I love all these videos. I just discovered you tonight but I have been playing around with HDPE off and on for a few years. recently I was inspired to start laminating other scrap materials that often get tossed in the trash, cotton and canvas. But I think I've really got something here when I decided to laminate Window Screen mesh. I used A common cloths iron and parchment paper and I got a strong flexible material that looks like carbon fiber and when I stack the sheets and keep laminating them together it just keeps getting stronger.
Keep up the awesome work here and I wish you all the best in solving this plastic problem! Peace
Just smashed the hell out of that like button. Keep up the great work!
Perfectly done guys. Keep up the great work.
I discovered your website and RUclips Channel only in the summer of 2019. Slowly I'm going through you older videos. More and more I realize
that you have done a great job in pioneers work. It's amazing what you and your followers (because YOU put everything on the internet as an open source)
have reached until now. And I'm sure it's getting bigger and bigger and spread out more and more over the world.
Thanks for making this videos and share your vision. Our children and grandchildren are and will be very happy with people like you.
You guys are amazing. I've always been interested in fabrication using recycled plastics and thanks to you and your teams hard work, artists around the world have better access to an under utilized and abundant material. Thank you.
Dave, you are an inspiration. I have a creative plan at hand, but was struggling with lots of questions, when just recently I found you. You have literally given solutions to all my problems. This is a great service you are doing by imparting free knowledge and resources to the people around the world. I am soon going to start action on my plan with your help. Lots of love and regards from India :)
I'm the most excited for the Starter Kits that you will develop! This will make the whole concept easier for younger people or those without the right resources to build machines.
love everything about you and your work! you will soon have machines built on the upper East coast of the united States. for my shop thank you so very much for your kindness in sharing all of your hard work and knowledge.
This is really cool! I will be watching more. I haven't really worked with these types of plastics although I have worked with Bakelite (phenolic resin thermoset plastic) in making and repairing vintage jewelry. Bakelite was the first synthetic plastic invented by Leo Baekeland in 1907. It's a fascinating study, as well as what you are doing here. I applaude you!
You are doing good job Mr Dave Hakken
Dave I'm following you for a long time, early in 2016. I have been saving money to make the machines and now I have it😀 i will be sharing my progress soon. Lebanon 🇱🇧 will be in your map I'm an Argentina living here and I will try to contribute in precious plastic if you need some help with Arab translation maybe I can help finding someone I'm not good in Arabic yet and English also 🙃 you are an inspiration my friend.
This is a giant piece of work you have done
Impressive! Love the work your team is doing!
Man you're genious ! Thank you to share this !
I love what you do and that you share it with the world. It's very inspiring.
cool, I'd like to make one, but I want to make it on a smaller scale, like a mini desk extruder. whenever i have time i will try it.
thanks for the great videos
Thanks for the tutorials.. Really appreciate them
You should design a cutter for the extruder like they use for making pasta that way you can make little 1cm chips and use them in molds more easily.
k_froggy yes I also think my first step will be to produce pure, sorted out, pellets that I can use later for my different projects
Thank you for this!!!!
Inspirational. Thank you. Hong Kong needs you.
Shared it on fb good luck guys!
again, just in awe of all your passion and hard work. thank you for sharing yourself with us.
side note: currently starting this project in houston, texas. anyone interested in joining?! looking forward to meeting you :)
"we called him Taco" Nothing like a little friendly stereotyping to liven up the workplace! :D
Thank you for the design. We built these machines to start our campaign here in Java island of Indonesia. Soon, Hopefully we can spread the awareness of plastic garbage and educate people in Indonesia. Salam...
Great work Sir I appreciate it, I like and all your videos and from inspiring I am very near to start my own PP sheet casting production.
Hi friend, in Talca Chile, with a group of work colleagues saw your project and we liked the idea a lot, we only have one problem, we have not found a place to build the first Shredding machine and this is limiting us for now but the desire To contribute to the cause are, a greeting and very good initiative
Congratulation !!!!
I'm in Jamaica. We have a waste problem here too...I hope to join this movement as soon as I have the time and funds in a year
Keep up the good work! i hope Indonesia will have machine like that soon
I don't know what to say.
I am so happy to finally reach here.
long life.
every humble young man dave :) many many Greetings from me :)
Great work 👍
Gran trabajo amigo saludos desde colombia.
I still want a really long video of you just shredding plastic in that thing.
Great video!!!
Respect, you're great!
We need to translate the videos into Arabic Russian and Spanish - it will give access to about 50 different countries !
Spanish are not eager to read so you would need to dub all. Greetings from Malaga!
Samat Teberdi I can do Arabic for you, I'm serious and professional, obviously I'm volunteering :-)
Samat Teberdi Arabic people are not eager to read either (actual statistics)
However as a second stage I can do voice over in Arabic (and why not in the other languages too?)
Obviously this will take more time than just translating...
I'm sure just a portion of Spanish speakers might not want to read, I don't know 1 single Spanish speaker who has ever complained about having to read subtitles
unfortunately I know lots of Spanish speakers who do not want to watch any programs that are in English with Spanish subtitles. That's why i'm the one who watches with others all the programs in Spanish with English subs
wow! through the video, i realized that you came to my country Ghana. hope you had a pleasant stay. the plastic waste in country is too much that is why i wanna get involved
I am also making tiles from waste plastic as my project...
Great initiative...
Highly inspired....
Trying to make machines for our product...
Can I have your number where you from in india
so cool!!
not engineer yet (I'm a student right now) but would love to work on your project ! cheers from france
Hola soy de Willy de Argentina, los felicito!!!
Your Channel is awesome.
Good come back we waiting for you
very soon in Philippines Dave will send you pics
Deep fryer or pot of oil, then insert a floating bowl/jar, Melt the plastic in the bowl /jar.
Perfect temperature.
(Do Not Consume Oil after used for this!)
Oils that fail to remain isolated require proper treatment Before reuse||recycling||repurposing. Do Not Dispose of in trash!.
Needed Research may include #OilRepurposing, #OilRecycling.
#MaterialDataSheets can be useful for those who can navigate them.
You should really try to look into making the plastic into 3D printer filament. Something like the filastruder or other OS projects exist, and could multiply the uses of the plastic.
Paving roads and making lego blocks to make houses are really good and related projects. I would really love to melt down my household plastics to just make some big patio stones. I don't want to have to shred or extrude at all. Is that posible?
This is so cool 👍
the what internet is about !!!! very inspiring
Thanks from India
You should see if you can use recycled plastic to make fishing nets?
Hi, Dave, my name is Daniel Farrera. I´m an Industrial designer and also a professor from Monterrey México, your work has been a great source of inspiration, and I believe in your project. This week I´ll be posting your info in my favorite youtube channels so perhaps those channels can give you enough diffusion among the maker community or perhaps a collab with them. Also if theres no issues may I contact you in some other platform :)
keep up the nice work.
PD. already saw the next.preciousplastic and I´ll try to help as much as I can from here .
Daniel Farrera where do you teach?
Daniel Farrera im also in mty
Arel Enoc ITESM CEGS :)
We badly need that in Philippines.
Thank you visit my country Indonesia
I think what your doing is grate I know a guy here with a recycling plant I can build all the stuff you have on your show but the electric stuff I am no good with it so il see if I can get some help with this form some one .thank you for doing what your doing .
I want to build one so bad
actually i some time back thinking about doing something like this because in front of my house we have plastic container and everytime is full and i want just do something with it and like said one of my colegue i dont have a big enough workshop ... and its risky for me go thru byrocratics and do all by myself as a little company cuz i have some bills to pay ... :/
Респект и уважение.
2:12 finally I know how to explain what is mechatronics
In Codta Rica we r a group of people that we r going to join to the cause
Temos esse projeto de reaproveitamento do plástico em Recife PE.
Hi PreciousPlatic, I am Justo from Paraguay. i was wondering where i can get them pipe heater. I look them up on e bay , but found none. Abyje ndeve
wow me encanta esta gran idea seria bueno que le pusieras subtítulos en español
I am a Nomad from Canada some classify me as homeless But I consider myself at home. how many people wake up to a wild pet duck nipping at your feet to say hello.
I want to set up a studio that makes mobile pods that can be towed by a bicycle. I have a friend that is the director of Canadian Aboriginal Business Affairs. They have Grants for projects Like this. I want to hit a few Birds with one stone. theres guys that spend all day walking for beer bottles add plastic to the mix. more jobs. I have a few models that im currently developing for the pods.
I am also in development of an ebike that charges off grid. But I want it so you can take it to the water.
I also want to make a symphony of 3d printers to print off things like full dining room tables or a 6 m boat or a car door. really big items.
What motor and gear reduction are you using on your shredder?
A crucial missing piece is a finance/economics expert... we are the true catalysts
I would love to do this but I do not have a shop full of tools to build this like you and I don't have a lot of money to pay someone to build it for me I am an artist and very handy kind of guy fix or build most anything it just the cost factor
You should make recycled plastic strings for 3D printers! If that's possible, of course.
yay
first comment
keep it up dude your doing great work
I also want to buy, where I can find them
it would be nice to find a way to use it on 3d printers. maybe make a different type of 3d printers beause the current 3d printers don't encourage in recycling rather they increase plastic waste. I was thinking of making 3d cnc machine that could engrave plastic blocks which u make from recycling plastic. you could make different shapes and designs with cnc engraver. the only problem is that I am not very technical, and I am hoping someone could design the machine and share the blueprint. it would be nice to make smaller version of shredding machines so that regular households can buy them, and would be able to recycle. no one is going to buy or build a big machine unless they have a work shop but if you want to get everyone involved, then you must design smaller size machines (no more than the size of a juice blender). once you could sell small shredding machines, you could also design and sell mould to make blocks which you could use on a small cnc engraver machine (we need to make a small size that could be used in any household).
They made an extrusion machine which can be made to produce 3d printing filaments from recycled plastic.
What is the specific license (from a legal point of view) in use for this machines? Is it something like the GNU-Linux license? Thanks. Amazing project by the way.
How do you guys make a water filter out of plastic???
Do you 3D print too or just mold and shape your plastic? You seem to have machines that could make filament. Plastic recycling shops would be nice just so I don't have to throw it away. I hope it makes the value of the plastic go up somewhat. I typically only recycle aluminum and copper but it small batches because it has to fit in the trunk of my car. I don't want a truck, they are hard to see the back end of, often gas guzzlers, and sometimes do not handle well enough.
Hello! I am from Cambodia. I interested in your project about Plasic Recycle. Because in my contry have alot the plastic eveywhere. How can I do?
I wish it was more IKEA like I wanted to build one but feels quite daunting.
I hope that you will visit Algeria
Hello Pp i watch all your vedios if you can tell me will these moulding machine work for rubber moulding
Plz give it a reply
Whist myself and my friend are constructing these, I've noticed you don't have a small electric furnace for recycling things like brass and aluminium. Personally I've copied TAOW's (youtuber) design and think something similar would an awesome addition to your recycling collection. (PS. All my stuff is recycled too!)
Cool
I'm trying to to build the machines, but I don't have a lot of experience build such machines. It would be good if you had more detailed build videos or a playlist of other youtube videos that covers the skills needed. (You mentioned you watched other youtubers to learn some of your machining skills)
This needs scaling up a bit. Why not units to turn out larger pre fabricated sections for emergency housing for those countries hit by natural disasters. Plastic housing would be relatively quick and easy for indiginous labour to erect, safe against earthquakes and with the raw material so widespread and available the costs would be relatively low. Something solid would be better than the tents used at present. It would need a bit of capital to get off the ground maybe from one of the international disaster agencies.
i want learn more about separate plastic
Good guy
4:53 What website building software is that?
I have the same question.
Me three! EDIT: Found it. It looks like Webflow.
we wants to start it In Nepal.How do We get machines Here ?can we built it by ourselves?
sum it go here: preciousplastic.com/en/
Start button in the top menu ;-)
subbed..
Can you film everything you can make from recycled plastic in one video? And what would be the new worth of that thing. It would be great to see profit margins and earning estemates. I think when people will see that this is profitable business they will jump on board
I want to help recycle plastic, to open my own business, but these machines are not so easy to buy or buy/find materials to build them
how do i get one of these machines im in new zealand
Sir do you visited hampi and gangavati in india
great jod dear
Cool beans.
Logo estaremos colocando em nossa comunidade, usaremos uma moeda social como incentivo para triagem ainda nas casas !
it is ok to mix plastic bags with plastic botle?
I think you are right but here no options for this decision in india I hope in future may be I am also doing such kind decision for our environment...
