With current models on the market that are made from steel and require numerous parts and fittings costing upwards of $400, cheaper versions could be appealing to customers. We have created a mostly 3D printed grinder using a combination of PLA and Polycarbonate parts and a few other pieces of hardware. This design utilizes two hex shafts with 5 teeth per shaft, encased in a solid 3D printed box. The shaft is driven using a windshield wiper motor which is powered by an old computer power supply. This shredder design takes a lot of the guess work of tolerances and proper fits out of the equation.","Page image":"File:PlasticGridner.jpeg","Page keywords":"3D printing, plastic grinder, recycle, plastic","Page language":"en","Page license":"CC-BY-SA-3.0","Page title":"Automated plastic grinder and recycler","Page views":"88","Page year":"Monday, 01-Jan-18 00:00:00 UTC","Project authors":"User:Michael James, User:WestonButler, User:Jhbell","Project cost":"70","Project thumb":"https://www.appropedia.org/w/images/thumb/4/41/PlasticGridner.jpeg/330px-PlasticGridner.jpeg","Project was made":"1","Project was replicated":"","Project year":"Monday, 01-Jan-18 00:00:00 UTC","Modification date":"Tuesday, 18-Jun-24 15:51:16 UTC"}
