To efficiently work with shredded plastic based on the tutorial, here are the essential tools, software, and hardware requirements organized by category:
Tools
- Hand tools for manual grinding
- Shredder/crusher for efficient material breakdown
- 5-gallon (19L) PC water bottles (preferred for handles)
- Funnel crafted from spare plastic bottles
- Custom ventilation covers (
3D printable)
Software
- CAD software compatible with .f3d & .step files (
designs) - 3D slicing software for printer preparation
Hardware
- 3D printer (supporting upside-down printing without supports)
- Filaments in distinct colors (gray for HDPE, black for PS, orange for PP)
- Industrial storage containers for bulk material
- Modular racks for bottle organization
- Masking tape (optional short-term sealing)
Use the linked files for 3D-printed ventilation lids and compatibility notes. Prioritize polycarbonate bottles to minimize static issues and simplify handling.
