But lack of simple and cost-effective technology is a big issue in rural regions of such developing countries. Usually, herbs and dried chillies are made into a powdered form using heavy stones for crushing purpose. Thus considering the amount of input work and its output, I have designed a simple but robust grinder which is very cost effective and can be used by anyone for the same purpose.\n\n== Bill of Materials ==\n\nPLA filament- $1\n\n# https://www.youmagine.com/designs/powder-maker-chillies-and-herbs\n\n== Tools needed ==\n\n# [[Athena Build Overview|MOST Delta RepRap]] or similar RepRap 3-D printer\n# PLA Filament\n\n== Skills and knowledge needed ==\n\n* 3D Modelling Software\n* Matter control software\n\n== Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions ==\n\n# Download the .stl files from YouMagine website.\n# Use at least 20% infill in CURA or any other matter control software to ensure the robustness needed for this device to work.\n# The setting parameters for outer layer thickness and print quality should be really accurate in order to print the teeth on both parts really sharp.\n# The print time required for both the parts to print is around 5 hours due to the fine printing.\n# The cost associated with this product is really less as it uses both 3D printed parts.\n\n=== Common Problems and Solutions ===\n\n# The teeth might break due to excessive force on the product to grind. This problem can be easily solved by increasing the height of the teeth.\n# To increase the efficiency of this device, one can also increase the number of teeth on both the parts.\n# The teeth orientation can be altered if different types of objects are to be grounded.\n\n== Cost savings ==\n\n# The estimated cost of this device is around $1.50 and can be further reduced if the part is mass produced using less expensive material.\n# commercial model [https://www.amazon.com/Platinum-Grinders-Grinder-Pollen-Catcher/dp/B00QUIA27C/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1544111309&sr=8-14&keywords=herbs+grinder]\n# $10-$15 can be saved by printing each of this device.\n\n== Benefited Internet Communities ==\n\n# Small scale communities [http://www.pickles-and-spices.com/methods-of-grinding-spices.html]\n# Indian rural communities[https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/traditional-indian-tools.html]\n\n{{Page data\n| keywords = 3D printing, food, herb grinder, osat, powder maker, plastic\n| sdg = SDG08 Decent work and economic growth\n| published = 2018\n| organizations = Michigan_Tech's_Open_Sustainability_Technology_Lab, MY4777, MTU\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n| language = en\n}}\n\n[[Category:food]]\n[[Category:How tos]]\n[[Category:Food and agriculture]]\n[[Category:OSAT 3D-Printable Designs]]\n[[Category:3D printing]]\n[[Category:Plastic]]"}
