Definitely!! I’m a patron of yours so for all that’s worth here’s my vote :). Would be nice to see the last few steps done in more detail for PLA, seems like they kind of “yada-yada’d” those so a proper coverage and explanation would be great!
Yo that science guy should be hired as a secondary/side kick to this channel. He was natural in front of a camera and entertaining. Explained everything very well.
I work in a plastic blow molding plant, I'd say to try starting off like you're blowing glass but as soon as you have the plastic on your pipe, close a mold around it So that it takes the shape of the mold better. You're working against time to get what you want and once you get the shape it needs to cool down quickly or it will warp
Oh god, you poor thing! I worked in several plastic manufacturing facilities doing injection press. It was a living hell. We did everything from polycarbs to acetyl, rubber and fiberglas. Terrible hot toxic work. I hope your workplaces has a decent EHS program, has ventilation and has some overhead cranes/walk behinds for loading your molds. *tips hat* You have my condolences. Be safe that shits NASTY!!!

But also I find having the experts on really helps make it feel like a full on show with an arc and with "segments" Keep up the great work!
I'd say he is first year gen chem that just wrapped up his O chem section. This is pretty basic stuff, it just sounds complicated to people who may not know too much about it.
As a kid we used have "Milk Buttons" or buttons made out of Milk protein on our clothes, they were very brittle but hey they were very cheap, and get a hundred for a buck.
When I was a kid this was my DREAM to do the same stuff this channel is doing, I really like the idea of making EVERYTHING from scratch. I'm glad someone is doing something like that it's so cool.
I love how everything you do is the natural process, and you even harvest those resources yourself. It truly is inspiring and is something that "how its made" doesn't show you.

@@Anna-tc6rz And? We also breed all the animals to be as big as possible for meat, no difference really. It's the same thing we do with plants. The local farmers keep them in better conditions, but almost always are using the same breeds of dairy cows as everyone else.

18:12 Why not just sandwich the PLA with 2 muffin pans, to get the shape? Bonus points if you put on a layer of foil on the pans before sandwiching the PLA. It should protect your pans and you can probably just lift the foil and the end piece off with it.
That polymer is thicc! BTW i think the key to melting down and reforming your plastics is that there is not only a bottom form, but a top as well, matched (like stacked cups). Then put a spacer in between around the edges somewhere, and a weight on the top form. So you fill the hollow space between the two forms with plastic, then heat, it melts, top form compresses down and squishes the melted plastic around to fill the hollow space and top form continues to drop until the spacer forces it to stay off the bottom form by whatever thickness you ultimately want.
I actually work for dart container and they use. Esentially plastic bits for foam cups. For the foam we use steam and a vacume to pull steam melted beads into a mold. For plastics we take a full long sheet that is heat to a pliable state before getting stamped with a ceramic mold or vacme sealed around it you might try this method
Polymer powder is mixed with a monomer liquid to make in-the-ear hearing aid shells. I added some red sand to the mix once and it looked like poop. As it sets up, it gets quite pliable like clay and I made handles for some Exacto blades used in opening hearing aid shells for repair. Silicon molds are used to form the shells.
My father remembers tar balls washing up on to Louisiana beaches in the 1940's. He thought they were from natural flows of crude in to the Gulf, but that may be apocryphal. It still would be an interesting source of petrol chemicals for your rubber.
What an excellent display and explanation of basic polymer chemistry from the University of Minnesota (can we have that guy back again?). Well explained and nicely put into the context of your project by your good self.
I'd be more apt to being exposed to that as opposed to the benzene, uric acid and aldehyde plastics. You want something wicked NASTY? Acetyl heated to 375F with Polypropylene, that will bring you to your knees. Had a release of that mix at one of my workplace. Facility was three football fields long. K, about 10 grams of the acetyl mixed with Polypropylene I was heating. I had all I could do to get under the cloud, hit my E stop and run like hell. Smoke knocked out 2/3's of the plant. We had to evac to out underground evacuation zones. Scary af
You could make a cup by melting the plastics into a beaker and using a slightly smaller cup as a press into the liquid plastics then put something heavy ontop to hold the central cup in place until it dries
Have you heard of a manufacturing process called vacuum forming? It's where you take a sheet of plastic and heat it in a frame untill it starts to droop. You then suck this shape over a form and voila you have a shape! It's a lot faster and simpler than 3d printing (it's easier to make a plastic sheet,heater and vacuum than it is to make a consistent diameter filament and a 3d printer) maybe it's worth a shot since you were halfway there with the sheet over a cup in an oven method.
I love your videos. They are fun to watch and your determination is amazing. I would like to see you do a collaboration with Nile Red in the future. Hope you have a Happy New Year. Keep up the excellent work. Cheers!
Lol Every time I watch your videos, all I can think of is "Does this guy ever plan and think about the plan before he does it?" Fun to watch tho, so much grace on the handling of all the chemicals.
This is why plastics are typically injection molded. If you can get someone to make your molds you could easily make the plastics injector. I don't remember if grain variability matters, but with something like an arbor press, you wouldn't have to worry about it.
if you're just trying to shape PLA, you can bring it up to its glass transition temperature and it doesn't get sticky to stuff other than itself, just soft.
Some ideas for later, metals of antiquity, a transistor from sand, logic gates, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, salt into bleach. The feces and urin method of KNO3, fermenting Vinegar and Rice wine, an edison generator, or a crank solinoid, a plumbing system, an old fashion phone, a steam engine powered by cans. Dandelion latex, extracting chemicals from natural sources, etx (even just science fair sized for history lessons)
PLA gets soft enough to work with at a low enough temperature that you could try submerging a disk in boiling water then quickly forming it after removing it from the water.
Plastic acually refers to the way the material deforms. The opposite of plastic is elastic, so a plastic deformation is when you deform something, and it doesn't return to its original shape. And since that's the most common household plastic we encounter, plastic has become the household name for polymer.
You need injection molding to make something with a plastic, coat the molding try in petroleum jelly or even olive oil then melt the plastic, and at the same time either vibrate the liquid plastic or you can just keep it at a high temperature for a while while the bubbles escape. connect the mold together then force hot liquid plastic into the mold. You can use a metal injector. (Make sure you draw a solvent into the injector so you dont ruin it) Wait till it hardens and melt the injection lines off the finished project.
Maybe you can try making a cup the same you would with paper for example If you make big flat pieces and cut a circle and a rectangle out of them You can make a cylinder out of the rectangle and "weld" the seam And cut a circle the right size and weld it to close the bottom of it
for the plastic molding you should look into vacuum forming, i think there's a video on it with Adam Savage. basically you'd try to melt the plastic into a sheet, then mount that sheet in a frame above a box with the mold in it. this box gets depressurized (with a household vacuum) and you heat the plastic, so it becomes soft and gets pulled inward onto the mold, creating a sort of envelope above it. Might work better than your attempts at what is basically injection molding, but I dunno
@@Lunch_box "Theoretically" Have you ever owned a 3D printer and used it extensively? They're not even the slightest bit forgiving when it comes to filament. They rely on very clean, very CONSISTENT plastic. You can't just shove any stringified plastic and expect it to work.
They have machines you can use at home to do it for you (make PLA beads/shards/powder into PLA filament), not very expensive anymore either for smaller ones. I don't think he's planning on trying to do it manually, just making the plastic manually. @@Lunch_box
I liked it. at 66 I am trying to get my head around basic chemistry and finding it fascinating as I veer off in all kinds of directions, The more I just watch stuff the more I pick up terminology and it was intriguing to have my own mind wandering around on what can be made from polysacharides and could we start with sugar(s)? then for me to see the rough experiments and also the lab guys using their tools to do various processes. So I was excited to see you starting with milk & kimchi. So the lumps of stinky stuff is about the level of my own culinary experiments that usually don't work. At school I didn't grasp chemistry and I don't understand why, because I liked it in the early years, then we did the elemental table and I must have missed something because after that nothing made any sense any more - so I'm back and I'm mad and, of course, what I am trying to pick up has no logical sequence of development - other than my own curiousity... yet that kind of works, because you see some basic principles and start to wonder what comes next and that sort of drives the direction in which you start to pick up on more aspects. Along the way you get to see some crazy explosions, so I very much doubt if I would dare to try anything "at home". Why more chemists don't have eye patches and hooks for hands I don't know. One of the bioplastics I was utterly intrigued with was Rayon - because I kind of branched off at ammonia & amines then into wosisname's reagent (the blue stuff) (Schweizer's reagent) and realised we could make viscose from from plants and make fabric from that - and that I probably have some in my wardrobe. How mad is that? Now I want to know if I can make a solution that will dissolve wood and have a liquid chain saw. LoL. Now, of course, I am wandering about the place picking things up and going "what stuff is this made of then?" coz everything's chemistry, isn't it - even me. I love the idea of "How to Make Everything", because one of the books suggested to me in a survival mag was "Henley's book of formulas" which had hundreds of examples of how to make everything from boot polish to teeth whitener from long ago when science was more primitive.

at 66 I am trying to get my head around basic chemistry and finding it fascinating as I veer off in all kinds of directions,
The more I just watch stuff the more I pick up terminology and it was intriguing to have my own mind wandering around on what can be made from polysacharides and could we start with sugar(s)? then for me to see the rough experiments and also the lab guys using their tools to do various processes.

How mad is that? Now I want to know if I can make a solution that will dissolve wood and have a liquid chain saw. LoL.
Now, of course, I am wandering about the place picking things up and going "what stuff is this made of then?" coz everything's chemistry, isn't it - even me.

the orange lactic acid one is my fave lol
You can get a filament extruder (for 3d printers) online, so you should have done that, and 3d-printed a cup.
