Participants then created their designs. Blue lines indicate pocketing (not cutting through the material), while red lines denote profiling (cutting through the material).\n\nIn this step, we scanned the drawings using a scan filter like CamScanner to ensure a high-contrast image similar to a photocopy.\n\nWe used Rhinoceros 3D and the Vectorize plugin to import the drawings as lines in Rhino. We cleaned and simplified the curves using the rebuild command, resulting in smoother curves with fewer control points. Blue lines indicate pocketing, while red lines indicate profiling (cutting through the material).\n\nFor this step, we used the VCarve application. We input the material's width, length, and thickness. We selected the blue lines for 'pocketing' and the red lines for 'profiling'. Note that this step may vary depending on the machine used.\n\nIn this step, cut the material according to the designs. Secure the four corners of the sheet material to the CNC bed and input the x, y, and z coordinates of the sheet's corner into the CNC machine. Ensure the cutting pattern is correct from an elevated perspective (z coordinates higher than the material) to avoid the CNC bit hitting screws and to confirm that the design fits properly on the sheet without being offset.\n\nThe final step is to assemble all sides of the Affordable Cat Housing using screws.

The key is in your color choice, allowing for diverse visual outcomes.\n\n\nUser Location: Donostia / San Sebastian, Spain\n\nCollect HDPE bottle caps from a local source. To achieve a liquid-light effect for your lamp, use both transparent and colored caps. Adding a small amount of shredded colored plastic will tint and alter the final appearance. Sort and shred the plastic carefully.\n\nIn the initial image, the light bulb is positioned between two discs. Begin by creating the discs using injection molding. The mold has a thin wall thickness of 3 millimeters (0.12 inches). Refer to the Academy for melting temperatures for HDPE. Experiment with various color combinations. Each disc requires less than 30 grams (1.06 ounces) of material, so adding 3 or 4 grams (0.11 or 0.14 ounces) of color will suffice to tint the plastic.\n\nThe clamp for the discs is constructed from wood. We utilized a laser cutting machine at a local makerspace to produce the wooden components. The wood is 0.39 inches (1 cm) thick, and the CAD drawings are included in the download package. The clamp is tailored to accommodate a specific lamp holder and bulb, but you may adjust the design for lamp holders available at local stores. The wooden pieces were later spray-painted.\n\nA small square indentation must be cut from the disc to allow it to attach to the wooden part securely. This feature enables you to swap out discs without using adhesive, facilitating various lighting effects.\n\nAssembling the lamp should be quick, as all parts are designed to fit securely.

For repeated production, consider creating a template.\n\nUse a jigsaw with a metal-cutting blade to cut along the marked lines. Wear protective glasses and gloves for safety. Secure the sheet on the cutting table to prevent movement.\n\nTo clean the edges of the covers, use a small knife for a smooth finish.\n\nTo prepare the notebook cover, drill holes for the elastic band using a 5/35\" (3.57 mm) bit in the back cover and a 2\" (50.8 mm) hole saw in the front. You may stack multiple covers for drilling, but use the hole saw individually to easily remove the cut-out.

The design uses 1.5 mm (0.06 inches) thick stainless steel and 3 mm (0.12 inches) thick plexiglass. Plexiglass may also be processed at a local fabrication lab.\n\nAfter completing the laser cutting, use an angle grinder with a 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) cutting disc to score the dotted lines. Grind halfway through the stainless sheet to facilitate bending. When grinding the small bend line for the mounting brackets, ensure the grind is above the line. This alignment is crucial to keep the mounting brackets flush with the hopper top and prevent plastic leakage.\n\n### Instructions for Bending Sheet Metal\n\n1. **Position the Sheet**: Place the sheet in a sturdy vise along the marked line.\n\n2. **Bend the Sheet**: Use pliers to bend the sheet along the lines, starting with larger bends. \n\n3. **Attention to Resistance**: If significant resistance is encountered, stop and deepen the markings to achieve a smoother bend.\n\nNote: Begin with larger bends before handling the hopper attachment bends.\n\nTo simplify assembly, I marked lines on the fold points when laser cutting the plexiglass. To bend the edges, I clamped the part in a vise at the intended bend line and applied medium heat from a heat gun at approximately 8 inches (20 cm) away from the plexiglass until achieving a 90° angle.

Silicone molds are ideal for replicating intricate or delicate items.\n\nYou can choose to cast simple items, like a vase, or more complex ones, such as a tree. These molds are reusable.\n\n\nUser Location: Sydney, Australia\n\nBefore starting, ensure you have the correct tools:\n\n- Casting silicone (1:1 ratio)\n- Measuring jug\n- Plastic stirrer\n- Take-away container\n- Clay\n- Knife\n- Chosen object\n\nIn this tutorial, I used approximately 16.9 fl oz of silicone for an object measuring 4 in (h) x 1 in (w) x 1.2 in (l). Maintain a clean workspace and have all tools prepared, as silicone sets quickly and is costly to waste.\n\nFirst, clean your object of any dirt or dust.\n\nApply a small strip of clay to the back of your object, ensuring it sits flat when placed down. This will serve as the entry point for material once the mold is complete.\n\nCover any holes and trim excess clay with a knife. Position the object face-up on the container lid.\n\nProceed to construct the walls of your mold box.\n\nAs the bases of take-away containers are often uneven, remove the bottom of the container using a knife to create separate parts: the container edges, the bottom, and the lid. The container edges will form the walls of the box; the bottom serves as an extra wall; and the lid becomes the box's base. \n\nPosition the container walls over the lid and object, maintaining a gap of 0.8-1.2 inches (2-3 cm) between the object and walls. Use the cut-out bottom as an insert if the walls are too distant from the object. This ensures minimal silicone usage.\n\nSeal the base of the walls with clay to prevent silicone leakage.\n\nShape the clay into a ball, then into thin strands. Press these strands along the inner and outer edges of your walls. The mold box should now be sealed effectively.\n\nCertainly, here is the revised text in Markdown format:\n\n---\n\nThe initial stage is complete; begin preparing the silicone for pouring.\n\n**Preparation:**\n\nArrange the measuring jug, the silicone bottles (A and B), the stirrer, and the mold box. Ensure all materials are ready, as you must act swiftly before the silicone sets.\n\n**Mixing:**\n\nPour 250 ml (approximately 8.45 fl oz) of part A into the measuring jug, followed by 250 ml (approximately 8.45 fl oz) of part B, totaling 500 ml (approximately 16.9 fl oz) of silicone. Mix the silicone thoroughly and quickly with your stirrer to ensure proper setting.\n\nPouring:\nFocus on the highest point and center of the object. Pour directly onto the most detailed section first, then move around the object to ensure the silicone covers every surface evenly. Allow the silicone to set for approximately 30 minutes.\n\nCleanup:\nLeave the excess silicone on the jug and stirrer to dry for 30 minutes. Once dry, peel off the silicone, leaving the jug and stirrer clean.\n\nAfter 30 minutes (or when the silicone is no longer sticky), release the mold by removing the clay from the edges of the container and silicone mold. Stretch the sides of the mold to extract the object.\n\nRetain the clay and plastic container for potential future use.\n\nOnce the object is removed, the mold is ready for use.\n\nOnce the mold is released, it is ready for use.\n\nThis mold is suitable for soft plastics and works best when plastic is hand-pressed. Wear heat and chemical-resistant gloves when handling plastic.\n\nI reused plastic from another project to melt and press into the mold. You may need to sand or trim rough edges for a clean finish.\n\nSilicone will capture any surface details, so ensure accuracy during molding.\n\nI have used only soft plastics (LDPE & HDPE) with this technique, but experimentation is encouraged."

The unit is mounted on an electric vehicle to minimize emissions and has been tested with solar power.\n\n\nUser Location: Dadri, India\n\n### Key Considerations for Project Planning\n\n1. Select a vehicle that accommodates all machinery and supports their weight.\n   \n2. Ensure a stable platform during operations.\n\n3. Use a strong chassis to support weight and absorb vibrations, such as those from a shredder.\n\nWe chose an electric vehicle that can be customized to meet our needs. It was designed to maximize the working area and includes a foldable roof for weather protection.\n\nOur workspace measures 8 x 7 feet (2.4 x 2.1 meters), allowing the installation of two machines per vehicle. With two vehicles, we installed a shredder, injection, and extrusion unit.\n\nWe began with the outer body, considering constraints like weight, size, and durability. \n\nInitially, a metal tube frame was constructed, followed by metal sheet coverage. \n\nThe base was reinforced for stability, accommodating individuals operating the machines. \n\nThe roof height is adjustable between 7 feet and 4.5 feet (213.4 cm and 137.2 cm). It is constructed with panels. \n\nRoofing utilizes metal tubes and fiber sheets to maintain a light system. \n\nA wooden base serves as flooring, and all components were carefully painted.\n\nWhile installing the machines, we focused on the following:\n\n1. Distributing the machine's weight evenly on each vehicle \n\n2. Securing the machine to the base to ensure stability during transport and use\n\nThe shredder, being heavier, was placed individually in one vehicle for balanced weight distribution. In another vehicle, we positioned the extrusion and injection machines with sufficient space for safe and efficient operation.\n\nWe installed a small panel on the vehicle to connect to either solar or main power sources as needed. The machines are linked to this panel, which includes the main switch.\n\nAfter installation, we performed a test run to assess the machine's functionality and ensure the setup's stability, adding support structures around the vehicle.\n\nThe process is straightforward once the space requirements are clear.\n\nWe made several mistakes during our process but are willing to offer assistance to others attempting the same."

The same techniques can be used to create molds of other polygonal shapes, such as triangles and hexagons.\n\nFor inquiries or suggestions about the mold, please refer to our contact information.\n\n\nUser Location: Sukawati, Indonesia\n\nTools:\n\n- Sheet press set\n- Angle grinder\n- Welding tools and materials\n- Jigsaw\n- Sander (for product finishing)\n- Safety gear: welding helmet, safety glasses, mask\n- Marker\n- Ruler\n\nComputer with drafting/drawing software\n\nMaterials:\n\n- Steel for mold: 0.78x0.78 in galvanized steel (standard size = 19.7 ft)\n- Clean, sorted plastic of chosen types\n\n### Polygon Drawing Tutorial\n\n1. **Drawing the Polygon:**\n   - Use any drafting software to create a polygon. This provides precise dimensions for each side. A reference drawing is available in the provided drive link.\n\n2. **Work Area Measurement:**\n   - Measure your sheet press work area.\n   - Offset the measured area by 2 inches (5 cm) inward to account for space needed around the mold.\n\n3. **Polygon Adjustment:**\n   - Adjust polygon dimensions according to your sheet press machine's capacity.\n   - Offset by 0.8 inches (2 cm) inward for the thickness of galvanized steel.\n\n4. **Mold Dimension Measurement:**\n   - Derive mold dimensions from your drawing.\n   - Utilize this drawing for calculating the plastic needed for sheet production.\n\nAfter determining measurements, cut the 20mm (0.79 inches) hollow galvanized steel with an angle grinder.\n\nUse an erasable marker for precision.\nCut using the angle grinder.\nDraw a 1:1 template of your sheets with a whiteboard marker to ensure alignment of angles and dimensions, and adjust as needed.\n\nWith a whiteboard marker, draw a full-scale template of your sheets to ensure angles and dimensions align, adjusting as necessary.\n\nWeld the sides to connect the ends, forming polygonal sheets.\n\nGrind excess welding material with an angle grinder.

Additionally, install fiberglass insulation, which can withstand temperatures up to 1004°F (540°C), to improve heat retention. Be cautious when placing insulation to avoid obstructing the oven's mechanical functions. Fiber cement may also assist in insulating the oven.\n\n\nUser Location: Michelago, Australia\n\n## Electrical Safety\n\n1. **Unplug the Device**: Ensure the toaster oven is disconnected from the power source before beginning any work.\n\n2. **Use Proper Tools**: Employ insulated screwdrivers and wear electrical safety gloves.\n\n3. **Check Connections**: Verify that all wires are securely connected and properly insulated.\n\n4. **Test the Modification**: Operate the modified oven in a controlled setting to confirm correct function and prevent overheating.\n\n5. **Seek Expertise**: Consult a qualified electrician if any electrical modification is unclear.\n\n## Safety Considerations\n\n- **Monitor Initial Use**: Observe the oven closely during its first use to identify any fire hazards.\n\n- **Handle Insulation Safely**: Wear protective gloves, long sleeves, and a mask when dealing with fiberglass insulation to prevent skin and respiratory issues.\n\n- **Follow Instructions**: Adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines for both the toaster oven and the REX controller.\n\n- **Do Not Leave Unattended**: Never operate the modified oven without supervision.\n\nPrioritize safety when working with electrical devices. If unsure about your skills or safety, obtain professional help.\n\n### Instructions for Thermostat Access and Wiring\n\n1. Unplug the toaster oven.\n2. Remove the main cover screws and carefully lift off the cover.\n3. Identify the thermostat located behind the temperature dial.\n4. Detach the two brown wires from the thermostat; connect them to terminals 1 and 2 on the 24~380VAC side of the SSR.\n5. Ensure correct polarity when connecting the SSR's other terminals to the EX-C100 Digital PID Temperature Controller.\n\nWith the K-type probe, I removed the rotisserie motor from the toaster oven and secured the probe in one of the existing holes. You may need a suitable nut for the probe and might have to drill a hole in the oven wall to position the probe in the heated area. Note: In Picture 1, the probe and two heating elements are circled. When the oven is on, electricity flows through the elements. Apply fiberglass insulation around them to avoid short circuits from the probe wire. Only place insulation between the wall and all wires of the toaster oven; the SSR should not be covered as it requires cooling. The oven in the photo is powered on; do not switch it on until all covers are reattached. I am a qualified electrical fitter-mechanic.\n\nInsulate the wiring compartment of the toaster oven to prevent overheating of the SSR (Solid State Relay). Protect wires going from the compartment to the REX-C100 Digital PID Temperature Controller, as sharp metal edges can cause shorts. For housing the PID controller, fabricate a metal bracket or use a modified plastic container on the oven exterior.\n\nPlan your steps carefully. For further assistance, please reach out."

Please share this information and acknowledge Zero Plastics Australia if you produce work from these sheets.\n\n\nUser Location: Ballarat, Australia\n\n### Materials Required\n\n1. **Heat Press Machine**: Purchase a 38cm x 38cm (15in x 15in) model.\n  \n2. **Aluminium Sheets**: \n   - Two sheets, each 40cm x 40cm (15.7in x 15.7in), 3mm-5mm (0.12in-0.2in) thick.\n   \n3. **Aluminium Mold**:\n   - One mold, measuring 30cm x 25cm x 1cm (11.8in x 9.8in x 0.4in) internally.\n\n**Note**: Avoid exceeding a 33cm (13in) internal size for the mold, as larger dimensions may lead to incomplete melting at the edges.\n\n### Instructions for Making Plastic Sheets\n\n1. Place one aluminum sheet (aluminium) on the heat press.\n2. Position the mold on the aluminum sheet.\n3. Fill the mold with 28 ounces (800 grams) of HDPE shredded plastic.\n4. Cover with the second aluminum sheet.\n\nApply mold release to the sheets and mold if available.\n\n1. Set your machine to 392°F (200°C) and allow it to reach maximum temperature.\n2. Set the timer for 16 minutes (960 seconds).\n\nAdjust the machine and mold height accordingly. Cook the mold for 16 minutes, tighten, and repeat three times.\n\n3. Upon reaching maximum temperature, close the lid securely. It may take several attempts to close tightly without spillage.\n\nOnce the lid is closed on the mold, the timer starts with 16 minutes for the initial process of making a sheet. After the first 16 minutes, open the machine and tighten it.\n\n1. Tighten the machine (usually 3 full turns suffice, but adjust as needed).\n2. Close the machine and cook for another 16 minutes.\n3. Upon completion, flip the mold (as the machine heats from one side). Flipping it front to back yields optimal results.\n4. Cook for two additional periods (16 minutes each).\n\nIn total, cook the mold four times (twice on each side).\n\nOnce the final cooking is finished, place your mold with the hot side down on a cool concrete surface. This is crucial to prevent warping.\n\n1. Position the hot side on the ground.\n2. Apply weight on top of the mold, using as much as possible.\n\n### Instructions for Sheet Mold Cooling and Removal\n\n1. **Cooling Time**: Allow the mold to cool for approximately 30 minutes. If feasible, extend this duration for optimal results.\n   \n2. **Removing the Sheet**: After cooling, open the mold. Use a utility knife to cut the sheet if no mold release agent was applied.\n\n3. **Additional Cooling**: If the sheet remains hot, turn it over and place a weight on top for another 30 minutes.\n\n4. **Completion**: Your sheet is now complete.\n\nYou might have additional questions since this is a complex process, but it becomes straightforward and requires minimal labor once mastered.\n\n1. How do you adjust the machine's height? Refer to the manual provided with the heat press; it involves a screw at the machine's top.\n2. Can different plastics be used? Yes, although I only use HDPE. Please share runtime and temperature if using other types.\n3. What are these sheets used for? Consult attached photos or our social pages for updates.\n\nFor further inquiries, email zero.plastics.australia@gmail.com."
