      If you're fine with a salty old mining engineer who swears a bunch, check out AvE here on RUclips (pro tip, you should). Some other good RUclipsrs are Matthias Wandel who does some cool things with wood, Michael Cthulu who's a metal sculptor who makes long format videos about his process, The Engineer Guy makes videos about the history of things, which is more interesting than it sounds, and the kid who runs ZNA Productions makes interesting weapons and armor with what basically amounts to an angle grinder and a hand drill.
      Beyond that, if you want to learn how to build things, build things. You don't need money or fancy tools. Make a crankshaft from popsicle sticks, or a trebuchet from paper clips and and eraser, or whatever you feel like making. Talk to people, get input, and don't be afraid to look like an idiot.

      +Luna, hey, it is great that you want to be an engineer. I recently bought a kit 3d printer for $160. it's a prusa clone called an anet a8 from gearbest. putting it together was a bit of an engineering project... but it works great! no need to spend thousands $$ for a 3d printer.
      OpenScad is a very interesting and free design software -- you can start playing with it even without having a 3d printer.
      just wanting to offer you full encouragement. there are very few women who choose engineering, but zero reason why they shouldn't, it's a heck of a lot of fun!

    • @jetblackstar
      @jetblackstar 7 лет назад +4

      Luna, great to hear your interested in engineering. My advise is use RUclips to watch and choose your preferred materials. Wood and plastics are easier to get into at your age, metals require beefier tools but if you start by bolting things together you can progress to together machining techniques later. Obviously learn to be safe and use your tools safely, always treat them with respect and think about how you prepare and prevent the bad things from happening. I've learnt a lot from watching my Dad, Mum (he worked metal, she worked wood) other experienced engineers and youtubers. You can hear and see when a tool is working right and it helps learn when your doing it the right way or wrong way. That counts for a car engine and how you drive it, to a grinder or wood lathe.
      Personally picking something you want yourself to make instead of buying it is a great way to get started. Every material and skill you learn adds to your engineering possibilities as you go. I've recently got into wood turning, I could add it to my existing electronics and metal working and suddenly I can make new (round) things :) Now I'm looking at HDPE plastics. My world has exploded.
      Good luck!

      Always good to warn of danger. In this case it’s very little danger. In the vertical one the motor would spin just a little then get stopped by the drill press body. In the other one... yeah, it could swing around and give him a tap on the hip. He’d just keep drilling. To make it truly dangerous you’d need a Morse taper drill bit in a gear head drill. There’s nothing to give. Serious danger. In this case you have a small drill bit and it’s going to spin in the chuck. If it holds the belt will slip. If both hold it’ll gently swing around and give a love tap. The weight of that motor along with the moment arm of drill to motor length is extremely large. In conclusion..I don’t think there’s any chance to spin it. I was on the phone with a friend many years ago and his father at the same moment had his arm ripped off by a gear head drill press. Not something to take lightly and as I started... warnings are good

    • @TMFXLLC
      @TMFXLLC 4 года назад

      @@MikeGearon A gear head is definitely more dangerous, but since I'm speaking from experience, I can tell you you'll get more than a "love tap" out of an ordinary full size belt driven drill press with a piece of plate steel stuck to a large twist bit. My advice is to form good habits, so you can focus on the job and you're always setup to clamp work at the drill press without spending a lot of time setting up. Like putting PPE on, do it all the time, chances are you'll have it in when it matters.

      My problem is not the shredder but the lack of a reason to shred my plastic waste myself. Sort your waste and the ones who actually recycle the material can shred it. If you use so much plastic every week that you have problems getting it into the bin then maybe you start drinking your soda in aluminum can and get a $5 can crusher or use your foot.

      How Rich is hi there, it's been a long journey but have just finished putting this together so it is now spinning in the box, I had to do a lot of hand filing to get the blades to fit the shaft but that was due to the shaft being a little big so lesson learnt, I'm going to do a breakdown of hours, materials and costs to find out whether viable to build for other people or just too expensive as there's a lot involved, but satisfying to see it work, I will try a hand crank and see how hard it is to shred different plastics and am yet to get a motor on it, a metal stand and a hopper are next on the list of things to do, just wish I had more spare time!

      Thanks for the answer. I'm checking with companies in the country for the cost of cutting the pieces. Solder I have and I can do and the motor will see if I can get one used.
      I ask the question of cost because I see many people wanting to know values. I found in your post the value of $ 441 AUS and did the conversion to the local currency to get an idea. Still waiting for the values but also found a person selling the machine ready. In the near future I hope to inform you that I have completed my machine too. Big hug.

  • @Kenionatus
    @Kenionatus 4 года назад +5

    Little safety advice: Make the hopper long enough so you can't reach the blades. Sheet metal isn't the most expensive thing and your hand is definitely worth it.
    Also has the added benefit of a higher input buffer.

    Dave, this is a great design, and thanks for sharing it. My only suggestion would be, as the general public doesn´t necessarily have an engineering degree, to mention that the parts can be machined too, not just laser-cut. That seems to disencourage people.
    For those conscient people like me who understands how bad is the plastic contamination and how can be even treated as a side business, this video and your website are extremely useful.
    In my country, this machine price is 3500$.

    Where is the safety in this? No E-stop, recycled power cable, hopper should be tall enough or dog legged so you cant stick your hand in the blades. The unit will need propper grounding for any static build up from certin plastic. Please continue to build and recycle but be safe while doing it.

    Hi Dave,
    I love the whole idea behind your project so watched the video on your site home. You claimed that your machines were made form easily obtainable items.
    News flash, getting laser/ water jet cut blades and components would not be cheap in the US. That already stops me in my tracks. Can you estimate what it cost you to cut parts and what country it was done in so I can convert to US currency please/
    Few of us have access to a fully equipped metal shop and it's obvious that at least a few major tools are needed... My brother is a general contractor who's pretty complete shop lacks a few of these items. A belt sander is easy , a drill press not too hard but some of the other things, bits and blades are not in the typical shop unless you do metal work.
    Such prep at the current machine shop cost per hour $$$ is would not be cheap... The actual assemble it looks fairly straight forward till it's time to weld, again same as above, not something most can do.
    I LOVE what you have done and the idea behind it but it's looking like a very expensive venture simply to get set to begin the process and this is just the first machine! Can you estimate what it would costs to assemble to whole range of machines please??

    This series is very inspirational. We can adapt the basic methods to suit our capabilities and resources, like using old carbide-tipped Skilsaw blades for example. You can find materials in a scrapyard - such as old appliances for the sheet metal. Maybe try a gas motor instead of electric. Personally, I would want a shredder with a much higher RPM. Maybe a wood chipper/shredder would do the trick, instead of building from scratch?

  • @katecoombes1000
    @katecoombes1000 8 лет назад +7

    I copied the plans to spec and had it made by an engineering company in Adelaide, South Australia. The time and the cost was outstanding. $440au for 1ph 2.2kw 3.5hp 4pole electric motor. The frame and all the parts and labour came to $2000au. To have this wired up its going to cost me another $300au. Turns out my house doest have a 30amp power supply to run a 15amp motor which when running and you start feeding plastic in it, the amps crack up to 22amps. I don't have a transmission and I think I'm going to need one because it spins way to fast.
    Great design but for a simple machine and how simple you have made it look, you really do need abit of spare change to make this thing.

  • @josephalter9636
    @josephalter9636 8 лет назад +1

    The introduction of a 3D shredder and 3D printer filament maker by Precious Plastic are tools that have the potential to revolutionize and revitalize the plastic waste industry in my opinion. Although the initial cost to build and the knowledge to construct may seem discouraging, I think, if a person has the monetary and mechanical potential, then the build will be most rewarding. As 3D printing grows in its use, so too will the need for its material... plastic filament. As the demand and consumption for plastic waste continues to decrease in China, formerly the largest user of American plastic waste, the US finds itself in a predicament with what to do with plastic scraps that must now, in turn, be sold to China. Yet, plastic waste material need no longer be a an expense to the US waste industry that ends up in landfills that have met their waste capacity. As a new tool, the 3D printer filament maker, may revolutionize the way Americans and other nations view plastic. The 3D Printing hobbyist and the like may view this a cash crop “harvest” waiting to be converted into a resource to meet the demand of maker 3D printing. Now one person's plastic waste can become another's precious resource. Plastic can now be turned into a material used in the 3D “printing” process making the recycling of plastics possible and accessible for the avid hobbyist to produce free filament for 3D Printing. In turn, production costs may be rapidly decreased for the hobbyist with such a material “free for the picking” out of the trash and into the workspace.

    The laser cutting part seems quite difficult to accomplish in many countries.

    Your doing a lot of work for a task that can be accomplished with a pair of shears and a decent blender.

While interesting, its ultimately beyond the reach of pretty much everyone interested in doing home plastic recycling.

      Nothing in this life is easy...but I always try to look on the positive side of life...
      With ingenuity you can find work-arounds to most problems in life...no one answer to any problem...you sound like a capable bloke...good for you that you can do all those things...I am an Engineering Inspector...I can think of other ways to solve the basic engineering required to build this gear...and getting bits and bobs is a snap down the local scrap yard.
      In most communities there will be easy access to all of these tools. Nice to use a laser cutter but with a bit more work you can get good enough results with an angle grinder and a vice and a file.
      No need to buy and own at first just negotiate and share...or borrow...
      Many hobbyists already have the equipment he mentions in his video...I know lots of folks who would be happy to volunteer their workshops to help a good cause like recycling plastics.
      I think there's always a way to do these things if you really want to do these things...
      The alternative is just give in and ban plastics to stop pollution...rather than try to fix the problems associated with their use and disposal....
      I feel like a lot of work has been put into these presentations, they share their work no charge...if people can do it they will and if they cannot...well they won't.
      Here's a link to PPC if you need to get an idea of what they are preaching...I'll go with the folkd looking for answers and solutions anytime...

And for shredding some milk bottles, you can put something small and adequate together for under $100, people just need guidance on their options. That's what I want to work on, I think people are more likely to get into this if the barriers for entry don't seem so high.

    Hello. Just new here. Am very interested in this shredder. I have been cutting up HDPE bottles for a while now, heating the cuttings in a metal tube with a screw clamp, to make a plastic rod of 50mm diameter. I use a wood lathe to make ornaments. But now I would like to make more pieces. I takes about six, one litre milk bottles to get a decent size (length) of rod. I am retired, and this a lot of work for old hands. I have downloaded your kit of files. Not very familiar with CAD, but would give these files to machine shop to make (probably laser cut). Which files do I give to the machine shop? I can TIG weld, so this part is not a problem, and have other workshop machine, but the part for the shredder is out of my skill set. Thank you from down under.

    This machine is missing an absolutely critical component: and emergency stop device. It’s not a matter of “if” someone will get injured, but “when”. There should be an emergency stop button accessible from anywhere (any operating position) that immediately stops the shredder. This will eventually save a person’s limb. Don’t skip a safety feature if you’re building this yourself. Protecting the inlet so that you can’t reach the blades at all is also recommended (make the distance to the blades from the inlet longer than a human arm). Awesome build, but lack of safety considerations or discussion is problematic.
