Bubble Wrap
Inspired by a video [1] and blogpost [2] of bjornsteinar.
- Material: plastic bags or bubble wrap
- Tools: iron and baking paper
- Steps
- Place material between two sheets of baking paper.
- Iron single sheets as the shrinking is quite drastic and not really predictable (if material ruptures or holes are forming, try reducing the temperature).
- Fuse pre-ironed sheets together to create thicker, stronger material or extend the material dimensions.
- Optionally imprint their textures to the surface by using fabrics or perforated metal plates.
Small bag made out of recycled plastic bags
Small bag made out of bubblewrap
Styrofoam
- Mostly polystyrene, "expanded polystyrene", short EPS
- Dissolvable in Acetone (but that's kinda nasty and not exactly healthy
- Topics in the forum: [3] [4]
- Maybe heat and compression to make it smaller and shreddable?
- Disolvable in D-Limonene (Instructable)
PET Bottles
Our shredder can't deal with PET, it's too tough. But we have been collecting quite a bit of them (those without deposit on them). So what could we do with those?
PET Strings
- There are special bottle cutters to cut PET bottles into strings
- Theo has one he can borrow us
- "THE" Bottle Cutter -> [7]
- DIY Links
- Bottom and Top remain -> What to do with them?
- Jewelry? [13]
- Research by the PP Team
PLA Recycling
PLA can be recycled like most other plastics we get, but it might also be interesting to make it into filament again.
- Extruder by ARTME
- FilaStruder
- Extruder on AliExpress
- Different lists of extruders: [14] [15] [16]
- Lengthy but seemingly good article covering the process
- 3Deco filament extruders
