Special attention on plastics like PS and PVC.\n", "title": "Take the right precautions first.", "_animationKey": "unique1" }, { "title": "What makes a clean cut", "_animationKey": "unique2", "text": "When cutting, the blade removes small layers of plastic, which we call chips. A circular blade is made out of multiple small blades, which are called teeth. It could happen that due to the speed and force needed in the process some chips got melted damaging both the piece and the blade.\n\nSo in order to avoid overheating, several factors have to be taken into account and finding the right blade and using the right cutting settings play an important role.\n", "images": [{ "fullPath": "uploads/howtosV1/4HfEOv0tNKuuSBV6Edwf/CLEAN CUT4.jpg", "size": 73613, "name": "CLEAN CUT4.jpg", "contentType": "image/jpeg", "type": "image/jpeg", "timeCreated": "2019-05-10T19:15:50.827Z", "updated": "2019-05-10T19:15:50.827Z", "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2FhowtosV1%2F4HfEOv0tNKuuSBV6Edwf%2FCLEAN%20CUT4.jpg?alt=media&token=a51711d4-df37-47b6-9713-91b392ab7847" }] }, { "text": "\nWhen choosing a blade one important feature is the tooth configuration (drawing). That’s the shape of each teeth and that’s going to affect how the material is removed. After trying different blades we have conclude that a tooth configuration like this is more versatile as it works the best on HDPE, PP and PS. But If this specific blade is not provided by any of your local dealers try a Triple chip grind (TCG) as it would work pretty good for HDPE and PP. \n\nAlso the cutting angle (∝) is going to define the way the material is going to be removed. This is the angle at which the blade is going to enter our piece. When working with plastic the cutting angle must be negative or at least 0º to reduce the stress while cutting and prevent chips from melting. Moreover, it’s important to keep your blades sharpened in order to guarantee the best result.\n\nAnother important point is the number of teeth (Z) and that depends on how thick is the piece we want to cut. For a Ø300mm blade:\n- A high number of teeth (84-96) works good for thicknesses up to 25mm. \n- For thicker solid pieces we’ll need a blade with less teeth (72). The reason why is that we’ll need more space between tooth in order to remove the increased amount of material.\n", "images": [{ "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2FhowtosV1%2F4HfEOv0tNKuuSBV6Edwf%2Ftooth%20configuration7.jpg?alt=media&token=e5c25f8d-eb91-4350-b622-010cb7b55efd", "timeCreated": "2019-05-10T19:15:53.045Z", "updated": "2019-05-10T19:15:53.045Z", "name": "tooth configuration7.jpg", "size": 168756, "fullPath": "uploads/howtosV1/4HfEOv0tNKuuSBV6Edwf/tooth configuration7.jpg", "contentType": "image/jpeg", "type": "image/jpeg" }], "_animationKey": "unique3", "title": "Choose the right blade" }, { "_animationKey": "uniquerbkioe", "text": "Usually while working with wood we set the machine to up to 4500 rpm.

"Hard", "description": "Introduction\nSo as the past months the picture showing above my Research Output that i’ve been working with its called Bicycle Powered Plastic Shredder😊i started working with it since, i think December🤔 when my Research title that ive submitted and approve by my teacher that is the time when i was started gathering information about how to built it and then when i was looking at some source i found David Hakkens master kit all the needs and information and blueprint are there so Thank You Mr.Dave Hakkens😇 so i use a design of blades that shown in Master kit on how to build a Shredder machine i only use the Blades Design nothing else then i focus on designing my own bicycle shredder i gather more data from other reseacher then as my foundation literature i found Katharinaelleke work at Dave Hakkens Community she design a bicycle powered plastic shredder too😊 then more and more challenge comes to my workplace because of lack of other component that i needed in building it so i have lot of option and finding ways to make it possible to make i also equipment Like Grinder, Impact Drill and Welding Machine😁 so the time passes i also incounter lot of difficulties building it because my twin brother have dengue fever and the deadline of the submission of the output is nearly next that week and i have to present it then after that thank God Because my Twin Brother is Safe he is my Group mate in research and we are only two working with it, its almost 3 months gathering and building that Bicycle Powered Plasctic Shredder but yes we make it till the Deadline and Im Happy Becauae they really appriciate it even we are two members only they are proud and thats the Help of you Guys About this Dave Hakkens Community Thank you So Much😇 Godbless us all and this Coming Next will be the Final Defence and im testing it now on Plastic like HDPE and LDPE i will observe on how they Shred, Lets make a World a better place♥️✨ Lets Make Impossible to make it possible🥀", "steps": [{ "images": [{ "downloadUrl":

We have a switch that changes the state of the pump between always on and on on-demand. When the pump turns on, also the solenoid valve needs to open, so we reach that with a 220V to 24VAC transformer, which also interacts with the relay. It doesn’t open when the pump is in the function always on. I also moved the electronics from the pump into my box, to keep everything together.\nIf you also have a Pre-Washing Station with a heated water barrel going, then you should also move the PID controller and a switch for it into this box. \n❗Again to emphasize, this is not a professional setup and you should act with care and knowledge. \n", "_animationKey": "uniquewrvud", "title": "Electronics", "images": [{ "timeCreated": "2020-01-06T17:00:04.137Z", "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fv2_howtos%2FKhmnCJV9EUSLeNpwcJy3%2FSTEP4.jpg?alt=media&token=0a0b8036-21a6-4030-a3ad-5ba72c915f82", "updated": "2020-01-06T17:00:04.137Z", "fullPath": "uploads/v2_howtos/KhmnCJV9EUSLeNpwcJy3/STEP4.jpg", "name": "STEP4.jpg", "type": "image/jpeg", "size": 59038, "contentType": "image/jpeg" }, { "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fv2_howtos%2FKhmnCJV9EUSLeNpwcJy3%2FSTEP4.1.jpg?alt=media&token=aaa67009-fd6e-4b86-9bb3-49288c72624d", "timeCreated": "2020-01-06T17:00:05.805Z", "type": "image/jpeg", "updated": "2020-01-06T17:00:05.805Z", "contentType": "image/jpeg", "fullPath": "uploads/v2_howtos/KhmnCJV9EUSLeNpwcJy3/STEP4.1.jpg", "name": "STEP4.1.jpg", "size": 148495 }] }, { "text": "We use shreds in the washing machine because this way we can process way more material at the same time.

You can cool it down by placing it into a water container. \n\nPro Tip: make sure if your washing the material before putting it into the extruder, always dry it out first because the steam created when extruding can cause the material to sink and create hollow, weaker areas. \n\n\n\n", "_animationKey": "unique5yzazg", "images": [{ "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fv2_howtos%2FLA0m4oADQxFJ0tULpYCq%2F_DSF9813.jpg?alt=media&token=a89e040f-473c-432c-8a62-7a72d20eedd5", "timeCreated": "2019-11-01T11:22:44.767Z", "name": "_DSF9813.jpg", "type": "image/jpeg", "size": 70737, "updated": "2019-11-01T11:22:44.767Z", "fullPath": "uploads/v2_howtos/LA0m4oADQxFJ0tULpYCq/_DSF9813.jpg", "contentType": "image/jpeg" }, { "updated": "2019-11-01T11:22:44.607Z", "timeCreated": "2019-11-01T11:22:44.607Z", "name": "_DSF7647.jpg", "size": 127066, "contentType": "image/jpeg", "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fv2_howtos%2FLA0m4oADQxFJ0tULpYCq%2F_DSF7647.jpg?alt=media&token=b5cf8f99-5982-4f59-ae1d-6a79b400eea0", "fullPath": "uploads/v2_howtos/LA0m4oADQxFJ0tULpYCq/_DSF7647.jpg", "type": "image/jpeg" }, { "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fv2_howtos%2FLA0m4oADQxFJ0tULpYCq%2F_DSF7667.jpg?alt=media&token=d8c52a55-80fe-4721-8896-0e55c294b36e", "type": "image/jpeg", "updated": "2019-11-01T11:22:44.753Z", "name": "_DSF7667.jpg", "size": 166575, "fullPath": "uploads/v2_howtos/LA0m4oADQxFJ0tULpYCq/_DSF7667.jpg", "contentType": "image/jpeg", "timeCreated": "2019-11-01T11:22:44.753Z" }] }, { "text": "The speed can also affect the outcome: slower speed, deeper texture, faster less texture and the pattern is slightly different also.

If you have the time, explain why you can collect some plastic and why some not. \n\nTip: Do not only tell your story but also listen well to their experiences with their plastic waste and their needs. \n", "_animationKey": "uniquekqjnb3" }, { "title": "Agree on the conditions ", "_animationKey": "uniqueaengm", "images": [{ "fullPath": "uploads/v2_howtos/NyFYMckJ0x93BUzaoTpl/Step 5- stay in touch 2.jpg", "updated": "2019-12-02T17:41:13.630Z", "type": "image/jpeg", "contentType": "image/jpeg", "timeCreated": "2019-12-02T17:41:13.630Z", "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fv2_howtos%2FNyFYMckJ0x93BUzaoTpl%2FStep%205-%20stay%20in%20touch%202.jpg?alt=media&token=1723c7b3-3a38-4d01-be13-18406e316bd9", "size": 61879, "name": "Step 5- stay in touch 2.jpg" }, { "name": "Step 5- stay in touch .jpg", "size": 104440, "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fv2_howtos%2FNyFYMckJ0x93BUzaoTpl%2FStep%205-%20stay%20in%20touch%20.jpg?alt=media&token=a228d29e-caee-418f-a375-9f8f9ee1771d", "type": "image/jpeg", "timeCreated": "2019-12-02T17:41:15.138Z", "contentType": "image/jpeg", "updated": "2019-12-02T17:41:15.138Z", "fullPath": "uploads/v2_howtos/NyFYMckJ0x93BUzaoTpl/Step 5- stay in touch .jpg" }], "text": "After the meeting, you will give the business time to think about the collaboration.

Due to this I had to create a support frame that would fix to a variety of bicycles.\nDuring my installation the shredder sat on an aluminium support base that had three steel rods bolted to it to create the supporting connection to the bicycle.

Also pay attention to clean the mould after every cycle in order to extend the mould life, and to keep a good output quality.", "images": [{ "type": "image/jpeg", "contentType": "image/jpeg", "size": 77286, "fullPath": "uploads/howtosV1/fShfuu0PSqu9Jot0YwYd/how-to-cut-finish-sheets-3-1.jpg", "updated": "2019-08-13T12:14:15.503Z", "name": "how-to-cut-finish-sheets-3-1.jpg", "timeCreated": "2019-08-13T12:14:15.503Z", "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2FhowtosV1%2FfShfuu0PSqu9Jot0YwYd%2Fhow-to-cut-finish-sheets-3-1.jpg?alt=media&token=5af16030-62eb-4fa4-9eb1-58d5d970ad97" }, { "name": "how-to-cut-finish-sheets-3-2.jpg", "updated": "2019-08-13T12:14:15.672Z", "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2FhowtosV1%2FfShfuu0PSqu9Jot0YwYd%2Fhow-to-cut-finish-sheets-3-2.jpg?alt=media&token=d7daa3c6-c23a-4628-ad05-3dd51ab4239f", "size": 110287, "contentType": "image/jpeg", "timeCreated": "2019-08-13T12:14:15.672Z", "fullPath": "uploads/howtosV1/fShfuu0PSqu9Jot0YwYd/how-to-cut-finish-sheets-3-2.jpg", "type": "image/jpeg" }], "title": "Treat your mould" }, { "_animationKey": "unique3", "title": "From sanding to polishing", "images": [{ "size": 252262, "name": "how-to-cut-finish-sheets-4-1.jpg", "contentType": "image/jpeg", "timeCreated": "2019-08-13T12:14:18.446Z", "type": "image/jpeg", "fullPath": "uploads/howtosV1/fShfuu0PSqu9Jot0YwYd/how-to-cut-finish-sheets-4-1.jpg", "updated": "2019-08-13T12:14:18.446Z", "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2FhowtosV1%2FfShfuu0PSqu9Jot0YwYd%2Fhow-to-cut-finish-sheets-4-1.jpg?alt=media&token=6f794e75-08f7-4369-966e-0c2dac423c9f" }, { "timeCreated": "2019-08-13T12:14:18.641Z", "fullPath": "uploads/howtosV1/fShfuu0PSqu9Jot0YwYd/how-to-cut-finish-sheets-4-2.jpg", "type": "image/jpeg", "size": 124762, "name": "how-to-cut-finish-sheets-4-2.jpg", "contentType": "image/jpeg", "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2FhowtosV1%2FfShfuu0PSqu9Jot0YwYd%2Fhow-to-cut-finish-sheets-4-2.jpg?alt=media&token=b5d05736-ae94-4d6e-87a2-785897465d0e", "updated": "2019-08-13T12:14:18.641Z" }], "text": "For a smooth and even surface we first have to sand it with low density grain sanding paper (from 200-800).

The location of these holes depends on your final object, and cannot be moved halfway through the process so take extra time to make sure you get this step correct by maybe laying out your first layer before starting. \n", "images": [{ "size": 19990, "contentType": "image/jpeg", "name": "anchordrawing_002.jpg", "timeCreated": "2019-11-05T15:46:56.204Z", "type": "image/jpeg", "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fv2_howtos%2FvD6N8syB0EODyozDENFy%2Fanchordrawing_002.jpg?alt=media&token=4163ec1d-b13f-4e11-a49e-eb3937123477", "updated": "2019-11-05T15:46:56.204Z", "fullPath": "uploads/v2_howtos/vD6N8syB0EODyozDENFy/anchordrawing_002.jpg" }, { "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fv2_howtos%2FvD6N8syB0EODyozDENFy%2FPA100141.jpg?alt=media&token=a69bd1e0-63eb-419b-bf9a-2e933f7ddea7", "name": "PA100141.jpg", "size": 324069, "type": "image/jpeg", "contentType": "image/jpeg", "timeCreated": "2019-11-05T15:46:58.118Z", "updated": "2019-11-05T15:46:58.118Z", "fullPath": "uploads/v2_howtos/vD6N8syB0EODyozDENFy/PA100141.jpg" }, { "contentType": "image/jpeg", "updated": "2019-11-05T15:46:56.279Z", "fullPath": "uploads/v2_howtos/vD6N8syB0EODyozDENFy/anchordrawing_001.jpg", "timeCreated": "2019-11-05T15:46:56.279Z", "name": "anchordrawing_001.jpg", "type": "image/jpeg", "size": 23436, "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fv2_howtos%2FvD6N8syB0EODyozDENFy%2Fanchordrawing_001.jpg?alt=media&token=e0f4eac1-809a-493e-86ec-bb61af083ea1" }], "title": "Marking holes" }, { "images": [{ "downloadUrl": "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fv2_howtos%2FvD6N8syB0EODyozDENFy%2FPA100142.jpg?alt=media&token=97a5e576-758a-409d-842f-4c494ef612ff", "type": "image/jpeg", "fullPath": "uploads/v2_howtos/vD6N8syB0EODyozDENFy/PA100142.jpg", "timeCreated": "2019-11-05T15:51:02.384Z", "name": "PA100142.jpg", "size": 177613, "updated": "2019-11-05T15:51:02.384Z", "contentType": "image/jpeg" }], "title": "Drilling your holes", "text": "Drilling holes into concrete requires an impact hammer and a masonry drill bit.
