Hey Dave,
i am from Germany and I created a little website (http://www.preciousplastic-onlineshop-deutschland.com) were people can buy the laser cutted parts for the shredder. It´s a bulk order so it will be very cheap for all people.
The reason is simple, because the single maufacturing of the laser cutted parts costs in Germany 500€ and more. This is too expensive.
So I hope you can help me, because the people from Europe should now that it gives a cheaper way to get the laser cutted parts.
It will be great if you can help me that all people now that this opportunity exists.
And you should now I want to buy the maschines by my self too.

Hi @davehakkens,

Great idea. Everyone loves a map!

Myself and @paulaortega have built an injection moulder. We’re based in South east London, UK.

Still tinkering with the electrics but soon we will be exploring various techniques for moulds. Thanks for your enthusiasm and sharing of such great ideas and designs.

@dahakkens, great idea…and congratulations on reaching such a wide audience

we are from Malaga, Andalusia, Spain (missing on the map) … where you are invited to come and stay with us 😀
we are building the shredder, the extruder and, hopefully the filamenter.
We are also building other tools and techniques to use the output of your machines.
I Will share more about them when we have more info.

We are building the machines to create educational workshops at my foundation http://www.berrocal.net (shameless plug 😉 – that’s where you are invited too 🙂 )

our aim is to teach local kids about the environment and entrepreneurship by having them design, create, produce, communicate and sell products made out of the plastic they recycle in their village or by cleaning up what many people leave simply around.

Hi,
I’m DAN from LUXEMBOURG and I am building a shredder with the parts on the picture. Assembling them makes a lot of fun because they fit so well! Thanks’ for sharing your engineering which is so useful for much people. I’ll send you more pictures during the project.

Hi, i’m JEFF from Quebec, Canada. Bleu Ouvert Cooperative (french canadian)

We have started our project last month and are trying to develop a business plan to help small non-profit organisation to raise money with the end product (each transformation). We have some money from government to help us too.

Hi everybody! We can already say: there can be planted a new flag in Leuven, Belgium! We know this project already from stage 1, and finally started to build our own machines!

I think it’s a great idea to have a project map!

But can I suggest that ‘Project name’ is not ‘Precious Plastic <CITY>’ but instead the name of the person/organisation. I know of at least 4 separate builds in/around London and expect other large cities will have multiple builders too.

Hi all! So excited to get our machines up and running! We’re awaiting our parts to return to us cut out, but will be building the Shredder and Compressor – and hopefully then eventually also the Injection and Extruder too! And we’re in Birmingham, UK. 🙂

Great idea @mr-hirn i’m sure a lot of people want to join! I’d suggest to start your own topic in our forums here and explain the plan. This makes it easier for use to share with others. But before you do, why not write it in english so everyone understands?

Hi @irifat

I’m building the 4 machines and already failled with 2 motors, the website you provided is awesome! Thanks! you can download the specs.

I will get mine from the supplier you are proposing but it seems the price they provided me defers from yours, do you think you can share your specs here to double check.

Many Thanks,

Frank Vargas

@necronomikon that’s hard to respond, the torque required depends on the type of plastic you are shredding and the thickness of the plastic pieces.

Take a look at these topics about motors:

Hello from Orlando FL.

I’m starting to source the components for my first attempt at building my shredder. Anyone have any ideas as to how much torque the motor needs to have in order to work correctly?
