Project 65: 3D Filament from Plastic

3D Filament from Plastic

Problem Statement

The availability of high-quality 3D printing filaments can be limited and expensive, especially in areas with limited access to advanced 3D printing technology. Recycling plastic waste into 3D filament can reduce costs, help manage waste, and make 3D printing more accessible.

Description

This project focuses on creating a system that can convert plastic waste into 3D printer filament. The system will include a plastic shredder, a filament extruder, and a cooling mechanism. The recycled filament can then be used for 3D printing, promoting sustainability and reducing plastic waste.
