We build them to help you do your best work. There are millions of people using Lexington products every day. Because we don’t know every one of our customers personally, we have to put in place some Terms of Service to help keep the ship afloat.\n\nWhen we say “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us” in this document, we are referring to [Lexington LLC](#_). We spun off Highrise HQ, LLC in the past, but it has since rejoined Lexington LLC.\n\nWhen we say “Services”, we mean our websites, including Lexington.com, hey.com, and Lexington.com, and any product created and maintained by Lexington LLC. That includes Lexington (all versions), HEY, Highrise, Campfire, Backpack, Ta-da List, and Writeboard, whether delivered within a web browser, desktop application, mobile application, or another format.\n\nWhen we say “You” or “your”, we are referring to the people or organizations that own an account with one or more of our Services. We have specific ownership policies for our products: [Lexington 4](#_), [Lexington 2](#_), [Lexington Classic](#_), [HEY for Domains](#_), [Highrise](#_), [Campfire](#_) and [Backpack](#_).\n\nWe may update these Terms of Service (\"Terms\") in the future. You can track all changes made since mid-2018 [on GitHub](#_). Typically these changes have been to clarify some of these terms by linking to an expanded related policy. Whenever we make a significant change to our policies, we will refresh the date at the top of this page and take any other appropriate steps to notify account holders.\n\nWhen you use our Services, now or in the future, you are agreeing to the latest Terms. There may be times where we do not exercise or enforce a right or provision of the Terms; however, that does not mean we are waiving that right or provision. **These Terms do contain a limitation of our liability.**\n\nIf you violate any of the Terms, we may terminate your account. That’s a broad statement and it means you need to place a lot of trust in us. We do our best to deserve that trust by being open about [who we are](#_), [how we work](#_), and keeping an open door to [your feedback](#_).\n\nAccount Terms\n-------------\n\n1. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password and for ensuring that any of your users do the same. The Company cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation. We recommend all users set up [two-factor authentication](#_) for added security. In some of our Services, we may require it.\n2. You may not use the Services for any purpose outlined in our [Use Restrictions policy](#_), and you may not permit any of your users to do so, either.\n3. You are responsible for all content posted to and activity that occurs under your account, including content posted by and activity of any users in your account.\n4. You must be a human. Accounts registered by “bots” or other automated methods are not permitted.\n\nPayment, Refunds, and Plan Changes\n----------------------------------\n\n1. If you are using a free version of one of our Services, it is really free: we do not ask you for your credit card and — just like for customers who pay for our Services — we do not sell your data.\n2. For paid Services that offer a free trial, we explain the length of trial when you sign up. After the trial period, you need to pay in advance to keep using the Service. If you do not pay, we will freeze your account and it will be inaccessible until you make payment. If your account has been frozen for a while, we will queue it up for auto-cancellation. See our [Cancellation policy](#_) for more details.\n3. If you are upgrading from a free plan to a paid plan, we will charge your card immediately and your billing cycle starts on the day of upgrade. For other upgrades or downgrades in plan level, the new rate starts from the next billing cycle.\n4. All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities. Where required, we will collect those taxes on behalf of the taxing authority and remit those taxes to taxing authorities. See our [Taxes policy](#_) for more details. Otherwise, you are responsible for payment of all taxes, levies, or duties.\n5. We process refunds according to our [Fair Refund policy](#_).\n\nCancellation and Termination\n----------------------------\n\n1. You are solely responsible for properly canceling your account. Within each of our Services, we provide a simple no-questions-asked cancellation link. You can find instructions for how to cancel your account in our [Cancellation policy](#_). An email or phone request to cancel your account is not automatically considered cancellation. If you need help canceling your account, you can always [contact our Support team](#_).\n2. All of your content will be inaccessible from the Services immediately upon account cancellation. Within 30 days, all content will be permanently deleted from active systems and logs. Within 60 days, all content will be permanently deleted from our backups. We cannot recover this information once it has been permanently deleted. If you want to export any data before your account is canceled, we‘ve provided instructions for [HEY](#_), [Lexington 4](#_), [Lexington 2](#_), [Lexington Classic](#_), [Highrise](#_), [Campfire](#_), and [Backpack](#_).\n3. If you cancel the Service before the end of your current paid up month, your cancellation will take effect immediately, and you will not be charged again. We do not automatically prorate unused time in the last billing cycle. See our [Fair Refund policy](#_) for more details.\n4. We have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of our Services for any reason at any time. Suspension means you and any other users on your account will not be able to access the account or any content in the account. Termination will furthermore result in the deletion of your account or your access to your account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all content in your account. We also reserve the right to refuse the use of the Services to anyone for any reason at any time. We have this clause because statistically speaking, out of the hundreds of thousands of accounts on our Services, there is at least one doing something nefarious. There are some things we staunchly stand against and this clause is how we exercise that stance. For more details, see our [Use Restrictions policy](#_).\n5. Verbal, physical, written or other abuse (including threats of abuse or retribution) of a Company employee or officer will result in immediate account termination.\n\nModifications to the Service and Prices\n---------------------------------------\n\n1. We make a promise to our customers to support our Services [until the end of the Internet](#_). That means when it comes to security, privacy, and customer support, we will continue to maintain any legacy Services. Sometimes it becomes technically impossible to continue a feature or we redesign a part of our Services because we think it could be better or we decide to close new signups of a product. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any part of our Services with or without notice.\n2. Sometimes we change the pricing structure for our products. When we do that, we tend to exempt existing customers from those changes. However, we may choose to change the prices for existing customers. If we do so, we will give at least 30 days notice and will notify you via the email address on record. We may also post a notice about changes on our websites or the affected Services themselves.\n\nUptime, Security, and Privacy\n-----------------------------\n\n1. Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. We provide these Services on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not offer service-level agreements for most of our Services — here’s [the one exception](#_) — but do take uptime of our applications seriously. Visit [https://www.37status.com](#_) to see the status of our Services.\n2. We reserve the right to temporarily disable your account if your usage significantly exceeds the average usage of other customers of the Services. Of course, we’ll reach out to the account owner before taking any action except in rare cases where the level of use may negatively impact the performance of the Service for other customers.\n3. We take many measures to protect and secure your data through backups, redundancies, and encryption. We enforce encryption for data transmission from the public Internet. There are some edge cases where we may send your data through our network unencrypted. Please refer to our [Security Overview](#_) for full details and our [Security Response page](#_) for how to report a security incident or threat.\n4. When you use our Services, you entrust us with your data. We take that trust to heart. You agree that Lexington may process your data as described in our [Privacy Policy](#_) and for no other purpose. We as humans can access your data for the following reasons:\n\n * **To help you with support requests you make.** We’ll ask for express consent before accessing your account.\n * **On the rare occasions when an error occurs that stops an automated process partway through.** We get automated alerts when such errors occur. When we can fix the issue and restart automated processing without looking at any personal data, we do. In rare cases, we have to look at a minimum amount of personal data to fix the issue. In these rare cases, we aim to fix the root cause to prevent the errors from recurring.\n * **To safeguard Lexington.** We’ll look at logs and metadata as part of our work to ensure the security of your data and the Services as a whole. If necessary, we may also access accounts as part of an [abuse report investigation](#_).\n * **To the extent required by applicable law.** As a US company with all data infrastructure located in the US, we only preserve or share customer data if compelled by a US government authority with a legally binding order or proper request under the Stored Communications Act, or in limited circumstances in the event of an emergency request. If a non-US authority approaches Lexington for assistance, our default stance is to refuse unless the order has been approved by the US government, which compels us to comply through procedures outlined in an established mutual legal assistance treaty or agreement mechanism. If Lexington is audited by a tax authority, we only share the bare minimum billing information needed to complete the audit.\n5. We use third party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run the Services. You can see a list of all subprocessors who handle personal data for [Lexington](#_), [HEY](#_), [Highrise](#_), [Campfire](#_), and [Backpack](#_), as well as a list of [Company processors](#_).\n\n6. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), Lexington is a “service provider”, not a “business” or “third party”, with respect to your use of the Services. That means we process any data you share with us only for the purpose you signed up for and as described in these Terms, the [Privacy policy](#_), and [other policies](#_). We do not retain, use, disclose, or sell any of that information for any other commercial purposes unless we have your explicit permission. And on the flip-side, you agree to comply with your requirements under the CCPA and not use Lexington’s Services in a way that violates the regulations.\n7. These Terms incorporate the [Lexington Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”)](#_) when the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) or United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”) applies to your use of Lexington Services to process Customer Data as defined in the DPA. The DPA linked above supersedes any previously agreed data processing addendum between you and Lexington LLC relating to your use of the Lexington Services.\n\nCopyright and Content Ownership\n-------------------------------\n\n1. All content posted on the Services must comply with U.S. copyright law. We provide details on [how to file a copyright infringement claim](#_).\n2. You give us a limited license to use the content posted by you and your users in order to provide the Services to you, but we claim no ownership rights over those materials. All materials you submit to the Services remain yours.\n3. We do not pre-screen content, but we reserve the right (but not the obligation) in our sole discretion to refuse or remove any content that is available via the Service.\n4. The Company or its licensors own all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, including all intellectual property rights therein, and you obtain no ownership rights in the Services as a result of your use. You may not duplicate, copy, or reuse any portion of the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or visual design elements without express written permission from the Company. You must request permission to use the Company’s logos or any Service logos for promotional purposes. Please [email us](#_) requests to use logos. We reserve the right to rescind any permissions if you violate these Terms.\n5. You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any portion of the Services, use of the Services, or access to the Services without the express written permission of the Company.\n\nFeatures and Bugs\n-----------------\n\nWe design our Services with care, based on our own experience and the experiences of customers who share their time and feedback. However, there is no such thing as a service that pleases everybody. We make no guarantees that our Services will meet your specific requirements or expectations.\n\nWe also test all of our features extensively before shipping them. As with any software, our Services inevitably have some bugs. We track the bugs reported to us and work through priority ones, especially any related to security or privacy. Not all reported bugs will get fixed and we don’t guarantee completely error-free Services.\n\nServices Adaptations and API Terms\n----------------------------------\n\nWe offer Application Program Interfaces (“API”s) for some of our Services (currently Lexington, Highrise, Campfire, and Backpack). Any use of the API, including through a third-party product that accesses the Services, is bound by these Terms plus the following specific terms:\n\n1. You expressly understand and agree that we are not liable for any damages or losses resulting from your use of the API or third-party products that access data via the API.\n2. Third parties may not access and employ the API if the functionality is part of an application that remotely records, monitors, or reports a Service user’s activity _other than time tracking_, both inside and outside the applications. The Company, in its sole discretion, will determine if an integration service violates this bylaw. A third party that has built and deployed an integration for the purpose of remote user surveillance will be required to remove that integration.\n3. Abuse or excessively frequent requests to the Services via the API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your account’s access to the API. The Company, in its sole discretion, will determine abuse or excessive usage of the API. If we need to suspend your account’s access, we will attempt to warn the account owner first. If your API usage could or has caused downtime, we may cut off access without prior notice.\n\nSome third-party providers have created integrations between our Services and theirs. You can find some of those integrations for Lexington at [https://Lexington.com/extras](#_) and for Highrise at [https://highrisehq.com/extras](#_). We are not liable or accountable for any of these third-party integrations.\n\nLiability\n---------\n\nWe mention liability throughout these Terms but to put it all in one section:\n\n**_You expressly understand and agree that the Company shall not be liable, in law or in equity, to you or to any third party for any direct, indirect, incidental, lost profits, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from: (i) the use or the inability to use the Services; (ii) the cost of procurement of substitute goods and services resulting from any goods, data, information or services purchased or obtained or messages received or transactions entered into through or from the Services; (iii) unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data; (iv) statements or conduct of any third party on the service; (v) or any other matter relating to these Terms or the Services, whether as a breach of contract, tort (including negligence whether active or passive), or any other theory of liability._**\n\nIn other words: choosing to use our Services does mean you are making a bet on us. If the bet does not work out, that’s on you, not us. We do our darnedest to be as safe a bet as possible through careful management of the business; investments in security, infrastructure, and talent; and in general [giving a damn](#_). If you choose to use our Services, thank you for betting on us.\n\nIf you have a question about any of these Terms, please [contact our Support team](#_).","src/content/infopages/terms.md","c00802cb6420bd7b",{"html":242,"metadata":243},"\u003Ch2 id=\"all-the-terms-that-you-agree-to-when-you-sign-up-for-a-lexington-product\">All the terms that you agree to when you sign up for a Lexington product.\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>From everyone at Lexington, thank you for using our products!

That includes Lexington (all versions), HEY, Highrise, Campfire, Backpack, Ta-da List, and Writeboard, whether delivered within a web browser, desktop application, mobile application, or another format.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>When we say “You” or “your”, we are referring to the people or organizations that own an account with one or more of our Services. We have specific ownership policies for our products: \u003Ca href=\"#_\">Lexington 4\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"#_\">Lexington 2\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"#_\">Lexington Classic\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"#_\">HEY for Domains\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"#_\">Highrise\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"#_\">Campfire\u003C/a> and \u003Ca href=\"#_\">Backpack\u003C/a>.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>We may update these Terms of Service (“Terms”) in the future. You can track all changes made since mid-2018 \u003Ca href=\"#_\">on GitHub\u003C/a>. Typically these changes have been to clarify some of these terms by linking to an expanded related policy. Whenever we make a significant change to our policies, we will refresh the date at the top of this page and take any other appropriate steps to notify account holders.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>When you use our Services, now or in the future, you are agreeing to the latest Terms. There may be times where we do not exercise or enforce a right or provision of the Terms; however, that does not mean we are waiving that right or provision. \u003Cstrong>These Terms do contain a limitation of our liability.\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>If you violate any of the Terms, we may terminate your account. That’s a broad statement and it means you need to place a lot of trust in us.

The Company cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation.

After the trial period, you need to pay in advance to keep using the Service. If you do not pay, we will freeze your account and it will be inaccessible until you make payment. If your account has been frozen for a while, we will queue it up for auto-cancellation. See our \u003Ca href=\"#_\">Cancellation policy\u003C/a> for more details.\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>If you are upgrading from a free plan to a paid plan, we will charge your card immediately and your billing cycle starts on the day of upgrade. For other upgrades or downgrades in plan level, the new rate starts from the next billing cycle.\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities. Where required, we will collect those taxes on behalf of the taxing authority and remit those taxes to taxing authorities. See our \u003Ca href=\"#_\">Taxes policy\u003C/a> for more details. Otherwise, you are responsible for payment of all taxes, levies, or duties.\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>We process refunds according to our \u003Ca href=\"#_\">Fair Refund policy\u003C/a>.\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ol>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"cancellation-and-termination\">Cancellation and Termination\u003C/h2>\n\u003Col>\n\u003Cli>You are solely responsible for properly canceling your account. Within each of our Services, we provide a simple no-questions-asked cancellation link. You can find instructions for how to cancel your account in our \u003Ca href=\"#_\">Cancellation policy\u003C/a>. An email or phone request to cancel your account is not automatically considered cancellation. If you need help canceling your account, you can always \u003Ca href=\"#_\">contact our Support team\u003C/a>.\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>All of your content will be inaccessible from the Services immediately upon account cancellation. Within 30 days, all content will be permanently deleted from active systems and logs. Within 60 days, all content will be permanently deleted from our backups.

We do not automatically prorate unused time in the last billing cycle. See our \u003Ca href=\"#_\">Fair Refund policy\u003C/a> for more details.\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>We have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of our Services for any reason at any time. Suspension means you and any other users on your account will not be able to access the account or any content in the account. Termination will furthermore result in the deletion of your account or your access to your account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all content in your account. We also reserve the right to refuse the use of the Services to anyone for any reason at any time. We have this clause because statistically speaking, out of the hundreds of thousands of accounts on our Services, there is at least one doing something nefarious. There are some things we staunchly stand against and this clause is how we exercise that stance.

That means when it comes to security, privacy, and customer support, we will continue to maintain any legacy Services. Sometimes it becomes technically impossible to continue a feature or we redesign a part of our Services because we think it could be better or we decide to close new signups of a product. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any part of our Services with or without notice.\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Sometimes we change the pricing structure for our products. When we do that, we tend to exempt existing customers from those changes. However, we may choose to change the prices for existing customers. If we do so, we will give at least 30 days notice and will notify you via the email address on record. We may also post a notice about changes on our websites or the affected Services themselves.\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ol>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"uptime-security-and-privacy\">Uptime, Security, and Privacy\u003C/h2>\n\u003Col>\n\u003Cli>\n\u003Cp>Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. We provide these Services on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

When we can fix the issue and restart automated processing without looking at any personal data, we do. In rare cases, we have to look at a minimum amount of personal data to fix the issue.

If a non-US authority approaches Lexington for assistance, our default stance is to refuse unless the order has been approved by the US government, which compels us to comply through procedures outlined in an established mutual legal assistance treaty or agreement mechanism. If Lexington is audited by a tax authority, we only share the bare minimum billing information needed to complete the audit.\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>\n\u003Cp>We use third party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run the Services.

As with any software, our Services inevitably have some bugs. We track the bugs reported to us and work through priority ones, especially any related to security or privacy.

The Company, in its sole discretion, will determine if an integration service violates this bylaw. A third party that has built and deployed an integration for the purpose of remote user surveillance will be required to remove that integration.\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>Abuse or excessively frequent requests to the Services via the API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your account’s access to the API. The Company, in its sole discretion, will determine abuse or excessive usage of the API. If we need to suspend your account’s access, we will attempt to warn the account owner first. If your API usage could or has caused downtime, we may cut off access without prior notice.\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ol>\n\u003Cp>Some third-party providers have created integrations between our Services and theirs.

Review the drawings and steps to understand the process fully. This will enhance efficiency and accuracy.\n\n### Instructions for Makers\n\nBegin by cutting the steel pipe nipple (part no. 7) in half to create the mold nozzle. (Refer to Drawings, page 3).\n\nRetrieve the steel disc (no. 3) and bore a central hole to snugly fit one half of the steel pipe nipple (part no. 7). Refer to drawings on page 4.\n\nMachine one side of the flange to a 3-inch (7.62 cm) diameter to fit mold body no. 1. (Refer to drawings on page 4)\n\n### Instructions for Fabrication\n\n1. Weld components no. 3 and no. 7 together.\n2. Chamfer the welded edge on the lathe. (Refer to drawings on page 5)\n\nObtain disc no. 4 and drill a 9/32-inch (7 mm) hole in the center. Refer to drawings on page 6.\n\nDrill four holes along the edge of discs 3 and 4, then trim the sides. (See drawings pp. 4-6)\n\nDrill four additional 3/16-inch (4.76 mm) holes in disc number 4. (Refer to drawings on page 6)\n\nTo achieve a curved, smooth, and polished mold cavity surface, provide parts no. 1-2 and the 3D files to a reputable CNC lathe workshop. They can manage various file formats, and the accompanying drawings (pages 7-9) will clarify any uncertainties.\n\nTake part no. 5 and trim its corners tangent to a 3-inch (7.6 cm) circle, matching the diameter of part no. 2. Refer to drawings on page 10.\n\n### Instructions for Sheet Metal Cutting\n\n1. **Cutting and Safety Prep:**\n - Cut part no. 6 from a thin metal sheet.\n - Trim the corners to avoid sharp edges.\n\n2. **Assembly:**\n - Center part no. 6 on part no. 5.\n - Secure with four nails.\n\n(Refer to drawings on pages 11-12 for guidance)\n\nDrill a ⅛\" (3.175 mm) hole in the center of parts no. 5 and 6. Insert a screw to thread the wood. (Refer to drawings on pages 10-12)\n\nYour Wall Peg mold is complete. Insert a new screw into the wooden mold base before each injection to prevent filling the hole with plastic. If it happens, simply drill it out.\n\nTo open the mold, remove the bolts, cut the plastic at the entrance, and separate the mold parts. Unscrew the peg from the wooden section to retrieve your peg.\n\nAllow time for cooling due to the plug's volume and ensure the soft screw is positioned correctly to avoid tilting.\n\nThe mold accommodates all types of plastic and allows smooth injection.\n\nTo install the peg on the wall, drill a hole and secure it with a wall plug.","3D models, wall peg mold, CNC lathe workshop, steel pipe nipple, sheet metal cutting, mold assembly, fabrication instructions, plastic injection mold, mold drawings, woodworking techniques","### Tools\n\n- Steel pipe cutter/hacksaw (for cutting pipe nipple) [Page 3]\n- Lathe (for machining flange and chamfering edges) [Pages 4–5, 10]\n- Welding machine (components no. 3 & 7) [Fabrication Step 1]\n- Drill with 9/32\", 3/16\", and ⅛\" bits [Pages 6, 10–12]\n- Metal shears/angle grinder (for sheet metal cutting) [Sheet Metal Cutting Section]\n\n### Software & Digital Resources\n\n- 3D models and blueprints (linked in tutorial introduction)\n- CAD files (for CNC lathe workshop) [Pages 7–9]\n- Technical drawings (pages 3–12 for machining guidance)\n\n### Hardware Components\n\n- Steel pipe nipple (part no. 7) [Page 3]\n- Steel disc (part no. 3) [Page 4]\n- CNC-machined flange (parts no. 1–2) [Pages 7–9]\n- Discs (no. 4, 5, 6 for assembly) [Pages 6, 10–12]\n- Screws and nails (3/16\" and ⅛\" sizes) [Pages 10–12]","## References\n\n### Opensource Designs\n\n- Wall Peg mould\n\n### Books\n\n- [Mold Making and Casting Guide Book](https://composimoldstore.com/mold-making-and-casting-guide/)\n- [The Complete Guide to Mold Making with SOLIDWORKS 2025](https://www.sdcpublications.com/Textbooks/Complete-Guide-Mold-Making-SOLIDWORKS/ISBN/978-1-63057-720-9/)\n\n### Articles\n\n- [How to Make Molds: The Step-by-Step Process](https://www.artmolds.com/blogs/mold-making/how-to-make-molds-the-step-by-step-process)\n\n### Papers\n\n- ~~[Plastics: Mold design and fabrication](https://scholarworks.uni.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3680\\&context=grp)~~\n- [Advanced Injection Molding Methods: Review](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10489002/)\n\n### YouTube\n\n- [How To Make Decorative Pegboard Wall](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pmyVPpULDY)","{\n \"slug\": \"wall-peg-mould\",\n \"id\": \"wall-peg-mould\",\n \"title\": \"Wall Peg mould\",\n \"type\": \"howto\",\n \"components\": [],\n \"item\": {\n \"caption\": \"3 wall peg in use :)\",\n \"description\": \"Access 3D models and blueprints to create the wall peg mold here.\",\n \"_modified\": \"2023-11-10T02:32:15.320Z\",\n \"fileLink\": \"\",\n \"votedUsefulBy\": [\n \"jrespinozab\",\n \"javiertecteos\",\n \"precious-plastic-genova\",\n \"sigolene\",\n \"beckermen\",\n \"jessicamp3\",\n \"mattia\",\n \"precious-plastic\"\n ],\n \"title\": \"Wall Peg mould\",\n \"tags\": [\n \"product\",\n \"injection\",\n \"mould\"\n ],\n \"slug\": \"wall-peg-mould\",\n \"difficulty_level\": \"Easy\",\n \"_id\": \"0Rfqeen9nVyjoGnzdGL4\",\n \"mentions\": [],\n \"total_downloads\": 28,\n \"id\": \"0Rfqeen9nVyjoGnzdGL4\",\n \"_created\": \"2020-03-10T20:48:12.602Z\",\n \"comments\": [],\n \"_contentModifiedTimestamp\": \"2023-06-22T20:41:23.034Z\",\n \"_deleted\": false,\n \"total_views\": 394,\n \"creatorCountry\": \"\",\n \"moderation\": \"accepted\",\n \"previousSlugs\": [\n \"wall-peg-mould\"\n ],\n \"time\": \"1-2 weeks\",\n \"files\": [\n null\n ],\n \"category\": {\n \"_created\": \"2022-05-09T21:18:16.628Z\",\n \"_modified\": \"2022-05-09T21:18:16.628Z\",\n \"label\": \"Moulds\",\n \"_id\": \"PNQc9KjspF0xU4fMYEin\",\n \"_deleted\": false\n },\n \"steps\": [\n {\n \"_animationKey\": \"unique1\",\n \"title\": \"Get your materials and prepare the work:\",\n \"images\": [\n {\n \"fullPath\": \"uploads/v3_howtos/0Rfqeen9nVyjoGnzdGL4/1.jpg\",\n \"name\": \"1.jpg\",\n \"updated\": \"2020-03-10T20:54:06.290Z\",\n \"type\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"timeCreated\": \"2020-03-10T20:54:06.290Z\",\n \"downloadUrl\": \"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fv3_howtos%2F0Rfqeen9nVyjoGnzdGL4%2F1.jpg?alt=media&token=f3cb2342-4e57-42a4-ae8c-6cdcd6cabafc\",\n \"contentType\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"size\": 194298,\n \"src\": \"C:\\\\Users\\\\zx\\\\Desktop\\\\osr\\\\osr-machines\\\\howtos\\\\wall-peg-mould\\\\1.jpg\",\n \"alt\": \"1.jpg\"\n }\n ],\n \"caption\": \"\",\n \"text\": \"Ensure all materials are prepared.

A motorcycle stand offers a more efficient solution, providing sufficient range to clamp the mold against the injector while enabling the use of leg strength, thus keeping hands free.

A motorcycle stand offers a more efficient solution, providing sufficient range to clamp the mold against the injector while enabling the use of leg strength, thus keeping hands free. This method facilitates the easy lifting of heavier molds and accessories such as clamps, potentially minimizing the need for extensive bolting during clamping.\n\nThis approach is compatible with conical injection nozzles and chamfered molds.

A motorcycle stand offers a more efficient solution, providing sufficient range to clamp the mold against the injector while enabling the use of leg strength, thus keeping hands free. This method facilitates the easy lifting of heavier molds and accessories such as clamps, potentially minimizing the need for extensive bolting during clamping.\\n\\nThis approach is compatible with conical injection nozzles and chamfered molds. The equipment referenced in this guide is from PlasticPreneur.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Lancaster, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the)\\n\\nRefer to the attached video for a detailed explanation of the process and required components.\\n\\nWe acquired our first stand from Facebook Marketplace. Consider checking bike workshops for old stands. Alternatively, search online for \\\"motorcycle stand\\\" or \\\"dirtbike stand\\\" to find one easily.\\n\\nFour pieces of 3x2 wood (7.6 cm x 5.1 cm) are used at each corner of the stand's flat plate, topped with an additional flat wood piece to elevate the mould bed. Metal or alternative shapes can be considered if preferred. The gap between the pillars serves as storage for height-raising blocks. \\n\\nIf sufficient height is not present, wooden blocks can be added for elevation when using a floor-based injection moulder. \\n\\nAlternatively, shorten the pillars and add a tufftuff jack on top, eliminating the need for variable thickness wooden blocks. The tufftuff jack, with a plate, adjusts the general working height, while a bike stand provides additional travel to align with the nozzle.\\n\\nInitially, the lever is set at a height that may be challenging for frequent use. While this position offers a good workout, we opted for an easier adjustment. By reversing the arm that attaches to the lever, we achieved better functionality. \\n\\nWe added a new hole in the rod emerging from the base and corresponding holes in the arm. This allowed us to secure the arm with an M8 bolt, ensuring stability. An additional bolt was placed behind the arm to prevent excessive backward pivot, ensuring secure use.\\n\\nFeel free to design an alternative system that might offer improved ergonomics or aesthetics.

However, they are useful for producing large, solid items and as a prototyping method to test mold designs before milling them into aluminum blocks.\n\n## Required Materials\n\n- Extruder machine\n- Shredded plastic\n- Casting plaster\n- Mold release agent\n- Model or object for replication\n- Melamine or plywood\n- Heat gun\n- Optional: paint, chopped fiberglass, shellac\n\nSelect a model or object to create your plaster mold around, such as a self-made model, a 3D print, or a toy. Determine the number of parts needed for your mold; for our project, a two-part mold was used.\n\nHere, the shape was cut from foam using a homemade hot wire and refined by hand sanding.\n\nEnsure a smooth surface, as imperfections will be visible in the final product. Keep sanding, filling, and painting as needed.\n\nConstruct a box around your model, ensuring it is sealed and secure to prevent it from floating when plaster is poured. Melamine or plywood may be used for the box.\n\nConsider applying a mold release, such as petroleum jelly, to facilitate the release of the plaster.\n\nReference pins can be useful to ensure the molds align correctly later.\n\nMix the casting plaster following the manufacturer's instructions. Add chopped fiberglass for enhanced mold durability.\n\nPour the mixture into the box, filling it to twice the model's height.\n\nAfter pouring, tap the box with a hammer for a few minutes to release air pockets.\n\nLet the plaster cure for two days before demolding.\n\nAfter completing both parts of your mold, allow them to air dry for a few days until they are touch-dry and noticeably lighter. This indicates readiness for the next step.\n\nOptionally, apply a layer of shellac to the plaster surfaces. Once cured, use a mold release agent like silicone oil or petroleum jelly to prevent plastic from adhering, ensuring the mold's reusability.\n\n### Preparing the Mold for Your Machine\n\n1. **Align and Clamp the Mold**: Secure the mold parts together so they are properly aligned.\n\n2. **Drill a Large Hole**: Create a large hole for attachment to the extruder machine.\n\n3. **Drill Indicator Holes**: Add smaller holes at various points to signal when the material reaches a certain level and to help relieve pressure buildup.\n\n### Injection Molding Process\n\nDue to its slow nature, maintaining the mold's internal temperature is crucial. Ensure it remains heated; one effective method is by drilling large holes to allow hot air circulation from two heat guns.\n\nBegin by heating your plaster mold. Simultaneously, activate the extruder and prepare the plastic. Once the mold is hot, commence the injection process. The duration may vary, ranging from a few minutes to several hours based on the product size. In this instance, it required approximately 2.5 hours to fill the mold.\n\nWhen the plastic reaches all reference points, indicating full injection, switch off the heat guns and extruder. Plug all holes to preserve pressure within the mold.\n\nAllow the product to cool at room temperature, which may take up to 12 hours due to the insulating properties of plaster. Carefully demould your product, ensuring the mold remains intact for future use.\n\nIf completed correctly, minimal post-processing is needed. Remove the injection point and relief channels.

Non-PET plastic was sent to the Instituto Tecnológico de Plástico (AIMPLAS), where it was transformed into usable material.\\n\\nThe processed marine litter and fishing nets arrive in our workshop clean and crushed, ready for the heat press.\\n\\nWe mix them with the base material (polypropylene), carefully considering the desired proportions and quantities to achieve the specific texture, color, or thickness needed.\\n\\nBefore placing the plastic in the sheet press, we use an industrial dryer to remove moisture.\\n\\nOnce the material is dry and mixed, it can be taken to the sheet press.\\n\\nWe adapted a carpentry press to include heating and automation systems for board production.\\n\\nOur sheet press can produce boards measuring 220cm x 90cm (86.6 inches x 35.4 inches) with thicknesses ranging from 1cm to 3cm (0.4 inches to 1.2 inches).\\n\\nThe machine operates at an average temperature of 180°C (356°F) to melt the plastic.\\n\\nAs with any plastic processing, excess material on the edges must be trimmed.\\n\\nAfter removing the board from the sheet press, it is important to store it in a large space to prevent deformation or bending.\\n\\nThese boards can be used to create a variety of products, including decorative items and furniture.\",\n \"keywords\": \"recycled polypropylene plastic, fishing nets recycling, eco-friendly boards, sustainable materials,

Sort the waste by plastic type, such as PLA, PETG, and ABS.\\n\\nAt this stage, shred the material and gather it. Determine the number of shredding cycles based on the desired size.\\n\\nNow we place all our chopped plastic into the 39x39 in (1x1 m) mold, insert it into the sheet press, and create the plastic sheet.\\n\\nWe place our 3.28x3.28 ft sheet, cut into 13.78x13.78 in pieces, under the CNC to create rounded pieces with a diameter of 11.81 in.\\n\\nThe final step is to drill the plastic discs and attach them to a metal base to complete the stool.\",\n \"keywords\": \"3D print waste recycling, plastic waste conversion, 3D print leftover uses, CNC design projects, plastic shredding process, sheet press application, recycling PLA PETG ABS, DIY recycled furniture, sustainable design objects, upcycled stool creation.\",\n \"resources\": \"### Tools\\n\\n- Drill ([Example](https://www.amazon.it/s?k=power+drill))\\n- Metal base components ([Example](https://www.amazon.it/s?k=metal+base+hardware))\\n\\n### Hardware\\n\\n- Plastic shredder ([Example](https://www.amazon.it/s?k=plastic+shredder))\\n- Sheet press ([Example](https://www.amazon.it/s?k=hydraulic+sheet+press))\\n- CNC machine ([Example](https://www.amazon.it/s?k=cnc+CNC Router))\\n- 1x1m mold (~~[Custom fabrication guide](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:12345)~~)\\n- Calipers for measurements ([Example](https://www.amazon.it/s?k=digital+calipers))\\n\\n### Software\\n\\n- CNC control software ([Example: GRBL](https://github.com/gnea/grbl))\\n- CAD/CAM software for design ([Example: Fusion 360](https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360))\\n\\n### Materials\\n\\n- Sorted 3D print waste (PLA/PETG/ABS)\\n- Metal fasteners ([Example](https://www.amazon.it/s?k=metal+screws))\",\n \"references\": \"## References\\n\\n### Articles\\n\\n- [3D Printing Recycling: For Sustainability -

Proven a success the concept could be easily moved and/or reproduced in any tourist destination in Sri Lanka where the demand for waste management through tourism industry diminishes the waste management provided for local population, leading to illegal dumping and/or burning, both a short and long term health hazard.\n",[3438],{"welding":412,"assembling":412,"machining":412,"electronics":412,"molds":412},"Waste Less Arugam Bay",[],{"services":3442,"urls":3443},[],[],"This guide explains how we addressed waste collection in a growing tourist area. As tourism increases waste production beyond local capacity, it is essential to establish improved collection systems.\n\n\nUser Location: Pottuvil, Sri Lanka\n\nLocated in Arugam Bay, a small town of 150 residents on Sri Lanka's east coast, the local economy relies heavily on tourism and seasonal fishing. However, effective waste management is lacking. During the tourist season, municipal waste management capacity is overwhelmed by tourism-related businesses, resulting in increased plastic waste burning by locals. Additionally, businesses incinerate large piles of plastic bottles due to high tourist consumption.\n\n### WLAB Overview\n\nFounded in 2018 with support from a USAID grant, WLAB focuses on resource management, plastic collection, and educational programs in schools, transforming plastic waste into products. Our team consists of three full-time employees.\n\nOur strategy involves collecting clean PET bottles from local sources. We sell these bottles to industry partners, retaining PE caps for our production. Occasionally, we participate in beach cleanup activities.\n\nOur facility in central Arugam Bay comprises two 20 ft (6.1 m) shipping containers with convenient access to the main road, frequented by tourists. This location enhances our visibility for educational purposes.\n\nWe decided to collect plastic from the tourism industry due to its large volume of PET bottles, which are in high demand for polyester yarn production in Sri Lanka. These bottles are easy to handle since they are clean, and the caps are suitable for various machines. This approach also helps reduce landfill waste from PET bottle disposal.\n\nOur public water refill system allows free access for everyone. Ultimately, we aim to reduce the number of bottles needing collection. A tourist destination free of plastic bottles is preferable to one with a substantial PET bottle collection.\n\nWe have placed over 60 bins around town at locations such as hotels, restaurants, resorts, mosques, and shops. Although initially free, we now consider implementing a deposit system. Each bin is attractively painted and includes a prominent sticker indicating the type of plastic collected, along with a message encouraging exploration of alternatives.\n\n### Markdown\n\nAs awareness of plastic waste grows, it is important for businesses to demonstrate action. Therefore, convincing business owners to adopt our bins is straightforward. A reliable staff member should communicate with businesses to establish trust in our efforts.\n\nTo collect and transport resources, we modified a traditional tuk tuk with distinctive illustrations by a local artist for a unique appearance.\n\nWe regularly use our tuk tuk to gather plastic from various locations. During peak tourist season, collections are made daily due to increased volumes.\n\nMonthly, we collect about 1 ton (approximately 2,205 pounds), a small portion of the available material. Gathering more from the local community is challenging despite the potential to collect over 4 tons (about 8,818 pounds) of PET monthly. The primary issue is that collection costs are high and PET prices remain low.\n\nUpon arrival at the workspace, bottles are sorted to separate caps from PET bottles, placing each in designated containers. Staff typically perform this task, occasionally assisted by tourists.\n\nTo optimize transport efficiency, we bale our PET bottles, allowing for more effective shipping. Each bale comprises 700 to 800 bottles and weighs approximately 23 kg (50.7 lbs).\n\nCollected PE bottle caps are transformed into products such as key rings, surf wax combs, buttons, and buckles. These products are used internally or sold to individuals and wholesalers.\n\nWe offer complimentary bottle collection from hotels and resorts, including the provision of collection bins. The collected PET is then sold to the industry at 55 Sri Lankan Rupees per kilogram (approximately 0.26 euros or 0.30 USD). Our products made from bottle caps generate significant profit. Adding value to materials improves margins, while bulk sales of raw materials require large volumes due to low profit margins.\n\nSri Lanka has advanced facilities capable of converting PET into polyester yarn. However, a single company dominates the market, making it difficult to negotiate competitive prices. This situation is similar for glass, with just one buyer controlling pricing.\n\n### How to Start a Collection Operation\n\nOperating efficiently for two years, we recommend the following essentials for initiating a collection operation: \n\n- A dedicated team\n- Adequate space\n- A well-chosen target area\n\nFor effective collection, the objective is to gather maximum materials with minimal travel. Tourist areas are ideal due to the high concentration of waste generated by many people in a confined space.\n\nWe hope this guidance assists you in starting your operation.

Proven a success the concept could be easily moved and/or reproduced in any tourist destination in Sri Lanka where the demand for waste management through tourism industry diminishes the waste management provided for local population, leading to illegal dumping and/or burning, both a short and long term health hazard.\\n\",\n \"services\": [\n {\n \"welding\": false,\n \"assembling\": false,\n \"machining\": false,\n \"electronics\": false,\n \"molds\": false\n }\n ],\n \"title\": \"Waste Less Arugam Bay\",\n \"images\": []\n },\n \"detail\": {\n \"services\": [],\n \"urls\": []\n }\n },\n \"content\": \"This guide explains how we addressed waste collection in a growing tourist area. As tourism increases waste production beyond local capacity, it is essential to establish improved collection systems.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Pottuvil, Sri Lanka\\n\\nLocated in Arugam Bay, a small town of 150 residents on Sri Lanka's east coast, the local economy relies heavily on tourism and seasonal fishing. However, effective waste management is lacking. During the tourist season, municipal waste management capacity is overwhelmed by tourism-related businesses, resulting in increased plastic waste burning by locals. Additionally, businesses incinerate large piles of plastic bottles due to high tourist consumption.\\n\\n### WLAB Overview\\n\\nFounded in 2018 with support from a USAID grant, WLAB focuses on resource management, plastic collection, and educational programs in schools, transforming plastic waste into products. Our team consists of three full-time employees.\\n\\nOur strategy involves collecting clean PET bottles from local sources. We sell these bottles to industry partners, retaining PE caps for our production. Occasionally, we participate in beach cleanup activities.\\n\\nOur facility in central Arugam Bay comprises two 20 ft (6.1 m) shipping containers with convenient access to the main road, frequented by tourists. This location enhances our visibility for educational purposes.\\n\\nWe decided to collect plastic from the tourism industry due to its large volume of PET bottles, which are in high demand for polyester yarn production in Sri Lanka. These bottles are easy to handle since they are clean, and the caps are suitable for various machines. This approach also helps reduce landfill waste from PET bottle disposal.\\n\\nOur public water refill system allows free access for everyone. Ultimately, we aim to reduce the number of bottles needing collection. A tourist destination free of plastic bottles is preferable to one with a substantial PET bottle collection.\\n\\nWe have placed over 60 bins around town at locations such as hotels, restaurants, resorts, mosques, and shops. Although initially free, we now consider implementing a deposit system. Each bin is attractively painted and includes a prominent sticker indicating the type of plastic collected, along with a message encouraging exploration of alternatives.\\n\\n### Markdown\\n\\nAs awareness of plastic waste grows, it is important for businesses to demonstrate action. Therefore, convincing business owners to adopt our bins is straightforward. A reliable staff member should communicate with businesses to establish trust in our efforts.\\n\\nTo collect and transport resources, we modified a traditional tuk tuk with distinctive illustrations by a local artist for a unique appearance.\\n\\nWe regularly use our tuk tuk to gather plastic from various locations. During peak tourist season, collections are made daily due to increased volumes.\\n\\nMonthly, we collect about 1 ton (approximately 2,205 pounds), a small portion of the available material. Gathering more from the local community is challenging despite the potential to collect over 4 tons (about 8,818 pounds) of PET monthly. The primary issue is that collection costs are high and PET prices remain low.\\n\\nUpon arrival at the workspace, bottles are sorted to separate caps from PET bottles, placing each in designated containers. Staff typically perform this task, occasionally assisted by tourists.\\n\\nTo optimize transport efficiency, we bale our PET bottles, allowing for more effective shipping. Each bale comprises 700 to 800 bottles and weighs approximately 23 kg (50.7 lbs).\\n\\nCollected PE bottle caps are transformed into products such as key rings, surf wax combs, buttons, and buckles. These products are used internally or sold to individuals and wholesalers.\\n\\nWe offer complimentary bottle collection from hotels and resorts, including the provision of collection bins. The collected PET is then sold to the industry at 55 Sri Lankan Rupees per kilogram (approximately 0.26 euros or 0.30 USD). Our products made from bottle caps generate significant profit. Adding value to materials improves margins, while bulk sales of raw materials require large volumes due to low profit margins.\\n\\nSri Lanka has advanced facilities capable of converting PET into polyester yarn. However, a single company dominates the market, making it difficult to negotiate competitive prices. This situation is similar for glass, with just one buyer controlling pricing.\\n\\n### How to Start a Collection Operation\\n\\nOperating efficiently for two years, we recommend the following essentials for initiating a collection operation: \\n\\n- A dedicated team\\n- Adequate space\\n- A well-chosen target area\\n\\nFor effective collection, the objective is to gather maximum materials with minimal travel. Tourist areas are ideal due to the high concentration of waste generated by many people in a confined space.\\n\\nWe hope this guidance assists you in starting your operation.

Nonpolar materials, like HDPE and PP, typically do not require drying, as they repel water similarly to oil. In contrast, many commercial polymers with polar characteristics can absorb moisture from the air.

This step is crucial for producing high-quality products like 3D printing filament. \n\nFor a detailed guide, refer to our video: \n[How-To Video](https://youtu.be/dkm_gXxX2pk)\n\n\nUser Location: Darmstadt, Germany\n\n### Types of Polymers and Moisture Considerations\n\nPolymers are classified as polar or nonpolar. Nonpolar materials, like HDPE and PP, typically do not require drying, as they repel water similarly to oil. In contrast, many commercial polymers with polar characteristics can absorb moisture from the air. Drying is often essential to prevent cosmetic defects, such as splay or silver streaking, and to maintain material integrity. Polar polymers may undergo hydrolysis if processed with excess moisture, reducing their strength. For more details, refer to the material overview below.\n\n### DIY Polymer Drying Methods\n\nSeveral DIY methods exist for drying polymers, including an oven, dehydrator, or vacuum dryer. Here, we focus on constructing a dry box with silica gel, as it offers optimal results while being cost-effective, simple, and energy-efficient. Using an oven can lead to overheating, causing issues. Household dehydrators are not suitable for reaching the low humidity levels necessary for effective polymer drying. Below is a temperature guide for different polymers. \n\n- **Oven:** Prone to overheating polymers.\n- **Dehydrator:** Inadequate for low humidity requirements.\n- **Vacuum Dryer:** Effective but more complex than a dry box. \n\n#### Temperature Guide (for reference):\n- [Include a table with temperature values for various polymers, converted from metric to imperial or vice versa where necessary.]\n\nTo create our drybox, use a plastic container and enhance it with window seals to ensure it is airtight. Glue the seals to the rim of the container.\n\nYou might recognize silica gel from shoe packaging. These small bags absorb moisture to keep items dry. Silica gel is also effective with polymers. Place about 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) in the plastic box. While there is no exact required amount, more gel means less frequent drying is needed.\n\nTo monitor humidity within the drybox, a hygrometer is useful. A transparent box allows for continuous observation of the drying process.\n\nUsing a microplastic bag (e.g., one from Guppyfriend) inside the drybox conserves time and space by containing the materials while allowing humidity to escape.\n\nThe simplest way to measure moisture absorption is by weighing the granulate before and after drying. However, using hot air releases volatiles, which decreases weight but not accurately reflects moisture loss. Accurate moisture measurements require sensors placed in the drying hopper, which use real-time dielectric property measurements; however, these sensors are costly.\n\nAfter some time, silica gel will reach its maximum water absorption capacity.

This step is crucial for producing high-quality products like 3D printing filament. \\n\\nFor a detailed guide, refer to our video: \\n[How-To Video](https://youtu.be/dkm_gXxX2pk)\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Darmstadt, Germany\\n\\n### Types of Polymers and Moisture Considerations\\n\\nPolymers are classified as polar or nonpolar. Nonpolar materials, like HDPE and PP, typically do not require drying, as they repel water similarly to oil. In contrast, many commercial polymers with polar characteristics can absorb moisture from the air. Drying is often essential to prevent cosmetic defects, such as splay or silver streaking, and to maintain material integrity. Polar polymers may undergo hydrolysis if processed with excess moisture, reducing their strength. For more details, refer to the material overview below.\\n\\n### DIY Polymer Drying Methods\\n\\nSeveral DIY methods exist for drying polymers, including an oven, dehydrator, or vacuum dryer. Here, we focus on constructing a dry box with silica gel, as it offers optimal results while being cost-effective, simple, and energy-efficient. Using an oven can lead to overheating, causing issues. Household dehydrators are not suitable for reaching the low humidity levels necessary for effective polymer drying. Below is a temperature guide for different polymers. \\n\\n- **Oven:** Prone to overheating polymers.\\n- **Dehydrator:** Inadequate for low humidity requirements.\\n- **Vacuum Dryer:** Effective but more complex than a dry box. \\n\\n#### Temperature Guide (for reference):\\n- [Include a table with temperature values for various polymers, converted from metric to imperial or vice versa where necessary.]\\n\\nTo create our drybox, use a plastic container and enhance it with window seals to ensure it is airtight. Glue the seals to the rim of the container.\\n\\nYou might recognize silica gel from shoe packaging. These small bags absorb moisture to keep items dry. Silica gel is also effective with polymers. Place about 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) in the plastic box. While there is no exact required amount, more gel means less frequent drying is needed.\\n\\nTo monitor humidity within the drybox, a hygrometer is useful. A transparent box allows for continuous observation of the drying process.\\n\\nUsing a microplastic bag (e.g., one from Guppyfriend) inside the drybox conserves time and space by containing the materials while allowing humidity to escape.\\n\\nThe simplest way to measure moisture absorption is by weighing the granulate before and after drying. However, using hot air releases volatiles, which decreases weight but not accurately reflects moisture loss. Accurate moisture measurements require sensors placed in the drying hopper, which use real-time dielectric property measurements; however, these sensors are costly.\\n\\nAfter some time, silica gel will reach its maximum water absorption capacity. Place it in the oven at 100°C (212°F) for one to two hours to restore its effectiveness.\\n\\nRapid temperature changes cause surface moisture. For example, when a cold drink is outside in hot weather, condensation forms. The same occurs with polymers. Moving plastic from a cold, damp garage to a warm production area led to surface moisture, causing bubbles and inconsistencies in our 3D-printing filament.\",\n \"keywords\": \"drying granulate,

everyone!\nWe are Sandra (graduated in environmental sciences) and Ruben (artisan of plastic, web design and community manager) creators of Menor Plastic.Menor Plastic is a recycling and environmental awareness project in the community of Murcia Spain. We started in June 2019 and we have two machines, a crusher and an extruder. We have learned to make several objects and we are enrolled in a craft market where we sell them. We participate with several associations in the area, cleaning beaches and providing donations for the conservation of our Mar Menor. Now we are building the fuel transfer and we hope to have it ready for February 2020. We have also created a YouTube channel where we will upload videos with our progress and ideas.\nIf you want to help or collaborate in any way, do not hesitate to contact us. You will be welcome!\n we work in the search of new materials and\n products that replace short-term plastic.\n At the same time we collaborate in different ways with others\n projects in which the care of our\n environment.\n",[4762],{"welding":412,"assembling":412,"machining":412,"electronics":412,"molds":412},"Menor Plastic",[],{"services":4766,"urls":4767},[],[],"### How to Build Shelves and Small Furniture\n\nLearn to construct shelves or small furniture using the extruder and injection machine.\n\n\nUser Location: San Javier, Spain\n\nWe will use a square tube with a diameter of 2 cm (0.79 inches) and a length of 40 cm (15.75 inches).

We started in June 2019 and we have two machines, a crusher and an extruder. We have learned to make several objects and we are enrolled in a craft market where we sell them. We participate with several associations in the area, cleaning beaches and providing donations for the conservation of our Mar Menor. Now we are building the fuel transfer and we hope to have it ready for February 2020. We have also created a YouTube channel where we will upload videos with our progress and ideas.\\nIf you want to help or collaborate in any way, do not hesitate to contact us.

Assess the rope's thickness and ensure your shredder is sufficiently powerful.\n\nWhile shredding, we observed that only minimal rope pieces initially fell into the collection bin.

Ocean rope, frequently found by beach cleaners, was among our first materials for experiments. This rope, typically polypropylene, is non-stretchy, often brittle, and light aqua blue.\n\nOn World Ocean Day, we highlight our commitment to removing ocean plastics and repurposing them. Addressing plastic pollution requires not just recycling but also significant production restrictions. Our efforts are centered on education and advocating for policies that reduce plastic production.\n\n\nUser Location: Great Yarmouth, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the)\n\n### Collaboration with Beach Clean Groups\n\nWhen approached by beach clean groups in Norfolk, they sought a place to donate plastics to prevent landfill disposal or incineration. For over a year, we have collaborated with Norfolk beach clean groups, who collect large quantities of rope monthly from the coastline.\n\nIf you are in a coastal area, contact local groups who may be interested in recycling their collected plastics. These groups are often dedicated to marine conservation and preventing litter from being misplaced.\n\nFor those not near the coast, consider connecting with beach clean groups elsewhere or focus on sourcing local plastics.\n\n### Rope Sorting and Inspection Guide\n\nInspect your rope to identify polypropylene (PP) material and remove any attached items such as duct tape or zip ties. This ensures only desired materials remain for cleaning.\n\nIdentifying PP ocean rope is straightforward, though not foolproof. These ropes typically have a plastic appearance, are non-stretchy, and feel brittle or crunchy. Common colors include light aqua blue, black, yellow, or white, with light blue being the most recognizable.\n\nUse scissors to remove duct tape or zip ties. General dirt will be addressed in the subsequent cleaning step.\n\nCleaning and drying the rope is simple. Use a laundry bag, washing machine, and an airing cupboard. The washing machine can employ a standard 40°C (104°F) cycle with unscented detergent.\n\nFor drying, leave the rope in the laundry bag and place it in an airing cupboard overnight or on a sunny windowsill. After a few hours or a night, the rope should be dry. If not, rearrange the rope and leave it for additional time.\n\n### Shredding Ocean Rope: Key Considerations for Makers\n\nShredding ocean rope differs significantly from shredding hard plastics like DVD cases or soft drink bottle lids. Often, ropes from beach cleans can be as thick as 1.4 inches (36 mm), requiring a more robust commercial shredder instead of a smaller one. Assess the rope's thickness and ensure your shredder is sufficiently powerful.\n\nWhile shredding, we observed that only minimal rope pieces initially fell into the collection bin. Extending shredding time might alter this outcome. If you have relevant experience, sharing insights would be beneficial. After shredding, gather the material from the collection bin and remove remaining pieces from the shredder carefully, using gloves and ensuring the machine is unplugged.\n\nNow that your material is prepared, select your mold and machines. We used a large button mold with ocean rope, heating it in a mini oven beforehand. We noticed light corrosion on the mold's inner face, which we removed with fine sandpaper.\n\nWear personal protective equipment: a charcoal-activated mask and heat-resistant gloves. Ensure proper ventilation. We recommend a fume extractor or opening doors for airflow. Heat your mini oven to 200°C (390°F).\n\nSet up your Arbor Press or injection molding machine in a well-ventilated area on a stable surface and switch it on. We operate our Arbor Press at 265 degrees Celsius (500 degrees Fahrenheit).\n\nLoading shredded rope into your injection molder differs from loading shredded hard plastics. Instead of pouring granules into the hopper, the shredded rope requires careful insertion. Wearing heat-resistant gloves, place the shredded rope in the hopper, then use a metal rod to guide it into the chamber. Finally, use the Arbor Press shaft to move it into position for injection.\n\nFor the first use of the day, allow the Arbor Press to sit for 20 minutes after the plastic is inserted and the temperature stabilizes, as shredded rope may contain more air than shredded hard plastics.\n\nOnce the mold (mould) is heated and the Arbour Press is prepared with the rope for the mold, remove the mold from the oven. Ensure there is adequate space on the workbench for the filled mold and safe movement around the Arbour Press. Lower the jack, control the plastic flow, and position the mold under the nozzle. Then, engage the mold with the Arbour Press nozzle and apply pressure to inject the plastic.\n\nBe attentive to the mold and pressure during injection. We noted minor condensation from the mold and resistance when full. We reduced pressure slightly, lowered the mold with the jack, and placed the filled mold on the workbench, ensuring the Arbour Press was secure.\n\n### Final Steps in Mold Handling Tutorial\n\nIn the final step, manage your anticipation and stay focused. Assess the plastic within the mold by observing any visible material at the nozzle's injection point. Generally, wait a few minutes before proceeding to open the mold.\n\nWear gloves to guard against heat and potential injury. Carefully remove the bolts securing the mold, using a spanner with caution. Place the mold on a workbench and use a tool to gently open it.\n\nButtons may sometimes detach easily, but occasionally they adhere firmly due to plastic cooling and shrinking around mold elements. If you need to lever the buttons out, do so carefully to avoid scratches, as they are difficult to remove. Use a small flat-head screwdriver and any remaining sprue to dislodge stubborn buttons. Conclude by trimming any mold marks from the buttons.","ocean plastic, beach clean, plastic recycling, marine conservation, polypropylene rope, Norfolk coastline, shredding ocean rope, injection molding, plastic pollution, sustainable materials","### Tools\n\n- Scissors (for removing duct tape/zip ties)\n- Metal rod (for guiding shredded rope into the injection chamber)\n- Spanner (to remove mold bolts)\n- Flat-head screwdriver (for dislodging buttons)\n- Fine sandpaper (removing mold corrosion)\n\n### Hardware\n\n- Washing machine (40°C cycle for cleaning rope)\n- Commercial shredder (handles thick ropes up to 1.4 inches/36 mm)\n- Laundry bag (holds rope during washing/drying)\n- Airing cupboard/sunny windowsill (drying rope)\n- Workbench (stable surface for molding steps)\n\n### Machinery\n\n- Arbor Press or injection molding machine (operated at 265°C/500°F)\n- Mini oven (preheated to 200°C/390°F for molds)\n- Fume extractor (ventilation during heating/injection)\n\n### Safety Equipment\n\n- Heat-resistant gloves (handling hot molds/shredded material)\n- Charcoal-activated mask (protection from fumes)\n- Gloves (general protection during mold handling)\n\n### Molds & Prep\n\n- Button mold (used in the tutorial)\n- Large molds (compatible with ocean rope shreds)\n- Laundry bag (for washing/drying rope)\n- Metal rod (material handling)\n- Fine sandpaper (surface preparation)","## Articles\n\n- [How Do We Clean Up All That Ocean Plastic? - State of the Planet](https://news.climate.columbia.edu/2022/10/13/how-do-we-clean-up-all-that-ocean-plastic/)\n- [Recycling 1700kg of Rope and Net from 6 Scottish Islands to make ...](https://oceanplasticpots.com/blogs/our-news/recycling-rope-and-net-from-6-scottish-islands)\n- [Injection Molding with Recycled Ocean Plastics: Turning the Tide on ...](https://www.nicerapid.com/blog/injection-molding-with-recycled-ocean-plastics-turning-the-tide-on-waste/)\n- [Design for Sustainability: Optimizing Plastic Injection Molding ...](https://www.essentracomponents.com/en-us/news/manufacturing/injection-molding/optimizing-plastic-injection-molding-processes)\n- [The Plastic Journey: Ten Steps to Create a Product from Pollution](https://theoceancleanup.com/updates/the-plastic-journey-ten-steps-to-create-a-product-from-pollution/)\n- [Rope Recycling in the UK: Fishing and marine ropes– Waterhaul](https://waterhaul.co/blogs/traceable-marine-plastic-articles/rope-recycling)\n- [Cleaning up the garbage patches - The Ocean Cleanup](https://theoceancleanup.com/oceans/)\n- [The Plastic Recycling Process - Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR)](https://plasticsrecycling.org/how-recycling-works/the-plastic-recycling-process/)\n\n## Books\n\n- [The Ocean Plastic Book - nico witwicki](https://www.nicowitwicki.com/project/theoceanplasticbook)\n\n## Papers\n\n- ~~[Open source technology to track the movement of plastic pollution](https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0242459)~~\n- [Proceedings of the 2024 Conference of the North American Chapter ...](https://aclanthology.org/2024.naacl-demo.pdf)\n\n## YouTube\n\n- [Recycling initiative turns waste nets and ropes into usable nylon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7lg6AxZYAM)\n\n## Opensource Designs\n\n- [The Plastic Recycling Process - Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR)](https://plasticsrecycling.org/how-recycling-works/the-plastic-recycling-process/)","{\n \"slug\": \"make-buttons-from-ocean-rope\",\n \"id\": \"make-buttons-from-ocean-rope\",\n \"title\": \"Make buttons from Ocean Rope\",\n \"type\": \"howto\",\n \"components\": [],\n \"item\": {\n \"_contentModifiedTimestamp\": \"2023-06-22T14:49:37.377Z\",\n \"mentions\": [],\n \"_createdBy\": \"preciousplasticeast\",\n \"total_views\": 503,\n \"difficulty_level\": \"Medium\",\n \"cover_image\": {\n \"downloadUrl\": \"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2FJ02obMEhOxZZvUzMqHLz%2FPP%20Title%20screen%20-%20Buttons%20from%20ocean%20rope%202-18881c5a566.jpg?alt=media&token=7bf00dad-2b9c-4b9a-932d-0416e1621572\",\n \"fullPath\": \"uploads/howtos/J02obMEhOxZZvUzMqHLz/PP Title screen - Buttons from ocean rope 2-18881c5a566.jpg\",\n \"type\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"timeCreated\": \"2023-06-03T16:30:09.024Z\",\n \"name\": \"PP Title screen - Buttons from ocean rope 2-18881c5a566.jpg\",\n \"updated\": \"2023-06-03T16:30:09.024Z\",\n \"contentType\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"size\": 225549,\n \"src\": \"C:\\\\Users\\\\zx\\\\Desktop\\\\osr\\\\osr-machines\\\\howtos\\\\make-buttons-from-ocean-rope\\\\pp_title_screen_-_buttons_from_ocean_rope_2-18881c5a566.jpg\"\n },\n \"comments\": [],\n \"description\": \"### Markdown Version\\n\\nIn our coastal workshop, we often prototype using plastics collected from beach cleans along the 100 miles (160 km) of the Norfolk coastline.

Ocean rope, frequently found by beach cleaners, was among our first materials for experiments. This rope, typically polypropylene, is non-stretchy, often brittle, and light aqua blue.\\n\\nOn World Ocean Day, we highlight our commitment to removing ocean plastics and repurposing them. Addressing plastic pollution requires not just recycling but also significant production restrictions. Our efforts are centered on education and advocating for policies that reduce plastic production.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Great Yarmouth, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the)\\n\\n### Collaboration with Beach Clean Groups\\n\\nWhen approached by beach clean groups in Norfolk, they sought a place to donate plastics to prevent landfill disposal or incineration. For over a year, we have collaborated with Norfolk beach clean groups, who collect large quantities of rope monthly from the coastline.\\n\\nIf you are in a coastal area, contact local groups who may be interested in recycling their collected plastics. These groups are often dedicated to marine conservation and preventing litter from being misplaced.\\n\\nFor those not near the coast, consider connecting with beach clean groups elsewhere or focus on sourcing local plastics.\\n\\n### Rope Sorting and Inspection Guide\\n\\nInspect your rope to identify polypropylene (PP) material and remove any attached items such as duct tape or zip ties. This ensures only desired materials remain for cleaning.\\n\\nIdentifying PP ocean rope is straightforward, though not foolproof. These ropes typically have a plastic appearance, are non-stretchy, and feel brittle or crunchy. Common colors include light aqua blue, black, yellow, or white, with light blue being the most recognizable.\\n\\nUse scissors to remove duct tape or zip ties. General dirt will be addressed in the subsequent cleaning step.\\n\\nCleaning and drying the rope is simple. Use a laundry bag, washing machine, and an airing cupboard. The washing machine can employ a standard 40°C (104°F) cycle with unscented detergent.\\n\\nFor drying, leave the rope in the laundry bag and place it in an airing cupboard overnight or on a sunny windowsill. After a few hours or a night, the rope should be dry. If not, rearrange the rope and leave it for additional time.\\n\\n### Shredding Ocean Rope: Key Considerations for Makers\\n\\nShredding ocean rope differs significantly from shredding hard plastics like DVD cases or soft drink bottle lids. Often, ropes from beach cleans can be as thick as 1.4 inches (36 mm), requiring a more robust commercial shredder instead of a smaller one. Assess the rope's thickness and ensure your shredder is sufficiently powerful.\\n\\nWhile shredding, we observed that only minimal rope pieces initially fell into the collection bin. Extending shredding time might alter this outcome. If you have relevant experience, sharing insights would be beneficial. After shredding, gather the material from the collection bin and remove remaining pieces from the shredder carefully, using gloves and ensuring the machine is unplugged.\\n\\nNow that your material is prepared, select your mold and machines. We used a large button mold with ocean rope, heating it in a mini oven beforehand. We noticed light corrosion on the mold's inner face, which we removed with fine sandpaper.\\n\\nWear personal protective equipment: a charcoal-activated mask and heat-resistant gloves. Ensure proper ventilation. We recommend a fume extractor or opening doors for airflow. Heat your mini oven to 200°C (390°F).\\n\\nSet up your Arbor Press or injection molding machine in a well-ventilated area on a stable surface and switch it on. We operate our Arbor Press at 265 degrees Celsius (500 degrees Fahrenheit).\\n\\nLoading shredded rope into your injection molder differs from loading shredded hard plastics. Instead of pouring granules into the hopper, the shredded rope requires careful insertion. Wearing heat-resistant gloves, place the shredded rope in the hopper, then use a metal rod to guide it into the chamber. Finally, use the Arbor Press shaft to move it into position for injection.\\n\\nFor the first use of the day, allow the Arbor Press to sit for 20 minutes after the plastic is inserted and the temperature stabilizes, as shredded rope may contain more air than shredded hard plastics.\\n\\nOnce the mold (mould) is heated and the Arbour Press is prepared with the rope for the mold, remove the mold from the oven. Ensure there is adequate space on the workbench for the filled mold and safe movement around the Arbour Press. Lower the jack, control the plastic flow, and position the mold under the nozzle. Then, engage the mold with the Arbour Press nozzle and apply pressure to inject the plastic.\\n\\nBe attentive to the mold and pressure during injection. We noted minor condensation from the mold and resistance when full. We reduced pressure slightly, lowered the mold with the jack, and placed the filled mold on the workbench, ensuring the Arbour Press was secure.\\n\\n### Final Steps in Mold Handling Tutorial\\n\\nIn the final step, manage your anticipation and stay focused. Assess the plastic within the mold by observing any visible material at the nozzle's injection point. Generally, wait a few minutes before proceeding to open the mold.\\n\\nWear gloves to guard against heat and potential injury. Carefully remove the bolts securing the mold, using a spanner with caution. Place the mold on a workbench and use a tool to gently open it.\\n\\nButtons may sometimes detach easily, but occasionally they adhere firmly due to plastic cooling and shrinking around mold elements. If you need to lever the buttons out, do so carefully to avoid scratches, as they are difficult to remove. Use a small flat-head screwdriver and any remaining sprue to dislodge stubborn buttons.

This guide will assist in utilizing plastic otherwise discarded.\n\n**Included Files:**\n\n1. Steel sheet parts (.DXF)\n2. Mould core (.STP)\n3. Part identification guide\n\n\nUser Location: Melbourne, Australia\n\n## Required Materials\n\n- **Steel Sheet**: Approximately 800x500mm (31.5x19.7 inches), 10mm (0.39 inches) thick\n- **Core Elements**: Two machined steel or alloy pieces\n- **Tools**: Welder, Deburring tool\n\n- **Bolts for Fabrication**:\n - M8 x 20mm (0.79 inches) - 8 pieces\n - M10 x 20mm (0.79 inches) - 2 pieces\n - M12 x 25mm (0.98 inches) - 4 pieces\n\n- **Nuts, Bolts & Washers for Assembly**:\n - M10 x 110mm (4.33 inches) - 10 pieces\n - M10 Washers - 20 pieces\n - M10 Nuts or Wingnuts - 10 pieces\n - ½-inch BSP Nut (stainless steel)\n\nCut each of the 14 pieces from 10 mm (0.39 in) steel using the provided DXF file. Use the engraving sheet to mark the interior of each plate and the edges of each tab for assembly guidance.\n\n### Assembly Instructions for Components\n\n- **Steel Circles:** Attach to panels using M10 x 20 bolts. These should remain movable to ensure proper alignment of bricks before filling the mold.\n\n- **Alloy Cores:** Secure to top panels with M12 x 1 inch bolts, as specified in the part identification guide.\n\n- **Square Plates:** \n - Attach the smaller plate to part 5/E (outer).\n - Secure the larger plate to the circle end of the 2/B/3/C core panel (outer) using M8 x 20 bolts.\n\n- **Nut Attachment:** Weld a ½ inch BSP stainless steel nut to panel 1/A for extruder connection.\n\nThe mold requires approximately 3.3 pounds (1.5 kilograms) of shredded HDPE for the hopper.\n\nAttach the fitting to your extruder and activate the machine to melt the plastic.\n\nOnce ready, feed the material into the hopper.\n\nWhile the plastic melts, assemble the mold by placing one base plate on the surface and inserting each tabbed end into its corresponding hole. Connect the sides using either numbers (1-10) or letters (A-J). Secure each corner with M10 bolts, washers, and nuts or wingnuts.\n\nSecurely connect the mold to the extruder. Ensure the mold is positioned vertically.\n\nRunning a machine at 356°F (180°C) and 35 Hz, the mold fills in approximately 6 minutes. Monitor the vent at the back for the first bubble of plastic, then turn off the machine and remove the mold.\n\nUsing heat-resistant gloves, open the mold by placing it on one of its plates and removing each bolt or nut.\n\nOnce removed from the mold, immerse in a water bath to accelerate cooling.\n\nA video detailing the process of transforming 91,500 used plastic bottle caps into blocks for a community garden.\n\nConstruct diverse structures such as office partitions, furniture, and garden beds while reducing plastic waste. \n\nDiscover our approach in building a community garden by reading the full case study here: [plastic.org.au Case Study](https://www.plastic.org.au/pages/case-study-bedford-park).","Zephyr Block, interlocking structure, Melbourne recycling, plastic waste solution, DIY mold guide, HDPE extrusion, community garden project, upcycled materials, steel sheet construction, sustainable architecture","### Tools\n\n- [Welder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welding)\n- [Deburring tool](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deburring)\n- Heat-resistant gloves\n\n### Software\n\n- [CAD software](https://www.autodesk.com/solutions/cad-software) (for .DXF/.STP files)\n\n### Hardware Components\n\n- 10mm thick ~~[steel sheet](https://www.metalsupermarkets.com.au/)~~ (800x500mm)\n- Machined steel/alloy cores\n- Bolts: ~~[M8 x 20mm](https://www.bunnings.com.au/our-range/tools-hardware/fasteners-fixings/bolts-screws/bolts)~~ (8), ~~[M10 x 20mm](https://www.bunnings.com.au/our-range/tools-hardware/fasteners-fixings/bolts-screws/bolts)~~ (2), ~~[M12 x 25mm](https://www.bunnings.com.au/our-range/tools-hardware/fasteners-fixings/bolts-screws/bolts)~~ (4), M10 x 110mm (10)\n- M10 washers (20), nuts/wingnuts (10), ~~[½-inch BSP stainless nut](https://www.sanha.com.au/products/)~~\n- Plastic extruder machine","## Articles\n\n- [Case Study - Bedford Park Community Garden](https://www.plastic.org.au/pages/case-study-bedford-park)\n- [Understanding packaging codes and labels](https://www.portphillip.vic.gov.au/council-services/waste-recycling-and-rubbish/understanding-packaging-codes-and-labels)\n\n## YouTube\n\n- [From Bottle Caps To Bricks For A Community Garden](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiT8zDW76VI)\n\n## Open Source Designs\n\n- Interconnecting Zephyr Block Mould","{\n \"slug\": \"interconnecting-zephyr-block-mould\",\n \"id\": \"interconnecting-zephyr-block-mould\",\n \"title\": \"Interconnecting Zephyr Block Mould\",\n \"type\": \"howto\",\n \"components\": [],\n \"item\": {\n \"cover_image\": {\n \"type\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"contentType\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"downloadUrl\": \"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2F5lGRtQIDHWuYw8Z2g970%2FHowToCOVER_ZephyrBlock%20copy-18a4097a66f.jpg?alt=media&token=0d385637-6db4-4a5b-b28d-0ff8abcd285a\",\n \"timeCreated\": \"2023-08-29T09:19:59.708Z\",\n \"fullPath\": \"uploads/howtos/5lGRtQIDHWuYw8Z2g970/HowToCOVER_ZephyrBlock copy-18a4097a66f.jpg\",\n \"name\": \"HowToCOVER_ZephyrBlock copy-18a4097a66f.jpg\",\n \"size\": 157485,\n \"updated\": \"2023-08-29T09:19:59.708Z\",\n \"src\": \"C:\\\\Users\\\\zx\\\\Desktop\\\\osr\\\\osr-machines\\\\howtos\\\\interconnecting-zephyr-block-mould\\\\howtocover_zephyrblock_copy-18a4097a66f.jpg\"\n },\n \"_id\": \"5lGRtQIDHWuYw8Z2g970\",\n \"description\": \"# Zephyr Block Instructions\\n\\nLearn to craft the Zephyr Block, an interlocking structure element originating from Melbourne, Australia.

This guide will assist in utilizing plastic otherwise discarded.\\n\\n**Included Files:**\\n\\n1. Steel sheet parts (.DXF)\\n2. Mould core (.STP)\\n3. Part identification guide\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Melbourne, Australia\\n\\n## Required Materials\\n\\n- **Steel Sheet**: Approximately 800x500mm (31.5x19.7 inches), 10mm (0.39 inches) thick\\n- **Core Elements**: Two machined steel or alloy pieces\\n- **Tools**: Welder, Deburring tool\\n\\n- **Bolts for Fabrication**:\\n - M8 x 20mm (0.79 inches) - 8 pieces\\n - M10 x 20mm (0.79 inches) - 2 pieces\\n - M12 x 25mm (0.98 inches) - 4 pieces\\n\\n- **Nuts, Bolts & Washers for Assembly**:\\n - M10 x 110mm (4.33 inches) - 10 pieces\\n - M10 Washers - 20 pieces\\n - M10 Nuts or Wingnuts - 10 pieces\\n - ½-inch BSP Nut (stainless steel)\\n\\nCut each of the 14 pieces from 10 mm (0.39 in) steel using the provided DXF file. Use the engraving sheet to mark the interior of each plate and the edges of each tab for assembly guidance.\\n\\n### Assembly Instructions for Components\\n\\n- **Steel Circles:** Attach to panels using M10 x 20 bolts. These should remain movable to ensure proper alignment of bricks before filling the mold.\\n\\n- **Alloy Cores:** Secure to top panels with M12 x 1 inch bolts, as specified in the part identification guide.\\n\\n- **Square Plates:** \\n - Attach the smaller plate to part 5/E (outer).\\n - Secure the larger plate to the circle end of the 2/B/3/C core panel (outer) using M8 x 20 bolts.\\n\\n- **Nut Attachment:** Weld a ½ inch BSP stainless steel nut to panel 1/A for extruder connection.\\n\\nThe mold requires approximately 3.3 pounds (1.5 kilograms) of shredded HDPE for the hopper.\\n\\nAttach the fitting to your extruder and activate the machine to melt the plastic.\\n\\nOnce ready, feed the material into the hopper.\\n\\nWhile the plastic melts, assemble the mold by placing one base plate on the surface and inserting each tabbed end into its corresponding hole. Connect the sides using either numbers (1-10) or letters (A-J). Secure each corner with M10 bolts, washers, and nuts or wingnuts.\\n\\nSecurely connect the mold to the extruder. Ensure the mold is positioned vertically.\\n\\nRunning a machine at 356°F (180°C) and 35 Hz, the mold fills in approximately 6 minutes. Monitor the vent at the back for the first bubble of plastic, then turn off the machine and remove the mold.\\n\\nUsing heat-resistant gloves, open the mold by placing it on one of its plates and removing each bolt or nut.\\n\\nOnce removed from the mold, immerse in a water bath to accelerate cooling.\\n\\nA video detailing the process of transforming 91,500 used plastic bottle caps into blocks for a community garden.\\n\\nConstruct diverse structures such as office partitions, furniture, and garden beds while reducing plastic waste. \\n\\nDiscover our approach in building a community garden by reading the full case study here: [plastic.org.au Case Study](https://www.plastic.org.au/pages/case-study-bedford-park).\",\n \"keywords\": \"Zephyr Block, interlocking structure, Melbourne recycling, plastic waste solution, DIY mold guide, HDPE extrusion, community garden project, upcycled materials, steel sheet construction, sustainable architecture\",\n \"resources\": \"### Tools\\n\\n- [Welder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welding)\\n- [Deburring tool](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deburring)\\n- Heat-resistant gloves\\n\\n### Software\\n\\n- [CAD software](https://www.autodesk.com/solutions/cad-software) (for .DXF/.STP files)\\n\\n### Hardware Components\\n\\n- 10mm thick ~~[steel sheet](https://www.metalsupermarkets.com.au/)~~ (800x500mm)\\n- Machined steel/alloy cores\\n- Bolts: ~~[M8 x 20mm](https://www.bunnings.com.au/our-range/tools-hardware/fasteners-fixings/bolts-screws/bolts)~~ (8), ~~[M10 x 20mm](https://www.bunnings.com.au/our-range/tools-hardware/fasteners-fixings/bolts-screws/bolts)~~ (2), ~~[M12 x 25mm](https://www.bunnings.com.au/our-range/tools-hardware/fasteners-fixings/bolts-screws/bolts)~~ (4), M10 x 110mm (10)\\n- M10 washers (20), nuts/wingnuts (10), ~~[½-inch BSP stainless nut](https://www.sanha.com.au/products/)~~\\n- Plastic extruder machine\",\n \"references\": \"## Articles\\n\\n- [Case Study - Bedford Park Community Garden](https://www.plastic.org.au/pages/case-study-bedford-park)\\n- [Understanding packaging codes and labels](https://www.portphillip.vic.gov.au/council-services/waste-recycling-and-rubbish/understanding-packaging-codes-and-labels)\\n\\n## YouTube\\n\\n- [From Bottle Caps To Bricks For A Community Garden](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiT8zDW76VI)\\n\\n## Open Source Designs\\n\\n- Interconnecting Zephyr Block Mould\"\n }\n}","47fcdbe3b70760b0","necologica-key-hanger",{"id":5390,"data":5392,"filePath":5390,"digest":5553},{"slug":5390,"id":5390,"title":5393,"type":407,"components":5394,"item":5395,"config":5552},"Necologica Key Hanger",[],{"description":5396,"difficulty_level":425,"_deleted":412,"_id":5397,"cover_image":5398,"votedUsefulBy":5405,"id":5397,"total_downloads":1939,"fileLink":19,"_createdBy":5407,"tags":5408,"mentions":5409,"category":5410,"slug":5390,"steps":5411,"time":423,"_modified":5499,"_contentModifiedTimestamp":5500,"comments":5501,"creatorCountry":3808,"total_views":5507,"_created":5508,"title":5393,"files":5509,"moderation":536,"user":5510,"content":5548,"keywords":5549,"resources":5550,"references":5551},"This key holder is suited for use with carabiners.

And we make the best out of the old.\nWe develop & market sustainable surf equipment and create a new awareness for dealing with plastic through education. We act courageously, authentically and socially.\n \nMany people want an alternative to the throwaway society. A conscious and sustainable use of resources such as plastic offers an opportunity to act responsibly and do something good for oneself and the environment. This requires education on recycling and more sustainable products. There is a lack of both. People are looking for practical and attractive ways to use resources more consciously and thus protect themselves and the environment. \n \nMerijaan addresses both problems:\nSocial: By educating people about up- & recycling, we create a new awareness about how to deal with plastic. We organise plastic recycling workshops and set up circular economies.\nSurf: We develop and market sustainable surf equipment made from recycled & recyclable plastic, enabling people to surf in an environmentally and health-friendly way. We use the material that already exists so that no new material is produced.\n\nSo far we set up a wole circular economy on Berlin, Alexanderplatz. We collect domestic plastic waste from locals and recycle it into carabiner, soap boxes and rulers, as well as surf related products. \nWe have community of more than 70 people and are well connected with all Berlin recycling initatives as well as international ones, especially in Sri Lanka and India.\n\nWe work with precious plastic machines, made by Plasticpreneur.

A simple cake tin replaces a more complex mould effectively.\n\n\nUser Location: Berlin, Germany\n\nBefore starting, decide which plastic to use and how to obtain it. We commonly use PP or HDPE, collected locally in Berlin. If plastic flakes are unavailable, seek alternative sources.\n\nCustom engineered molds can be expensive, especially under current conditions. Therefore, we use a simple cake tin as a prototype stool mold, as shown in the picture. It was obtained from a supermarket and functions adequately.\n\nAttention:\nVerify if the bottom of the cake tin is level, as it will shape the top of your stool.\n\nFor our machine, we use an oven modified for compression. Place the mold inside and heat it to 250°C (482°F) for polypropylene.\n\nFill the cake tin with granulated material and place it in the oven. Bake for approximately one hour to ensure thorough melting. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for another hour. Once cooled, open the tin and remove the seat.\n\nTo level the top surface of the seat, use an electric planer. Collect excess material for future use.\n\nInitially, we tried wooden legs but found them difficult to secure to the seat. Ultimately, we chose metal legs that can be easily attached beneath the seat.\n\nPurchase the legs at a hardware store or online. They include screws. Evenly distribute the legs at the base of the seat and fasten them with the screws.\n\nOnce assembled, turn the stool upright and it is ready for use.","stool making, low-cost mould, cake tin stool, DIY stool, Berlin plastic recycling, homemade stool mold, polymer stool, PP HDPE stool, metal legs stool, recycled plastic furniture","### Tools\n\n- Electric planer (for leveling the seat surface)\n- Screwdriver (for attaching legs)\n\n### Hardware\n\n- Modified oven with compression capability (heated to 250°C/482°F)\n- Cake tin (reused as a mould, ensure a flat bottom)\n- Metal legs with screws (purchased from hardware stores/online)\n\n### Materials\n\n- Polypropylene (PP) or HDPE plastic flakes (locally sourced in Berlin)\n- Granulated plastic material (for melting in the mould)\n- Excess planed material (reused for future projects)","## References\n\n### Articles\n\n1.

And we make the best out of the old.\\nWe develop & market sustainable surf equipment and create a new awareness for dealing with plastic through education. We act courageously, authentically and socially.\\n \\nMany people want an alternative to the throwaway society. A conscious and sustainable use of resources such as plastic offers an opportunity to act responsibly and do something good for oneself and the environment. This requires education on recycling and more sustainable products. There is a lack of both. People are looking for practical and attractive ways to use resources more consciously and thus protect themselves and the environment. \\n \\nMerijaan addresses both problems:\\nSocial: By educating people about up- & recycling, we create a new awareness about how to deal with plastic. We organise plastic recycling workshops and set up circular economies.\\nSurf: We develop and market sustainable surf equipment made from recycled & recyclable plastic, enabling people to surf in an environmentally and health-friendly way. We use the material that already exists so that no new material is produced.\\n\\nSo far we set up a wole circular economy on Berlin, Alexanderplatz. We collect domestic plastic waste from locals and recycle it into carabiner, soap boxes and rulers, as well as surf related products. \\nWe have community of more than 70 people and are well connected with all Berlin recycling initatives as well as international ones, especially in Sri Lanka and India.\\n\\nWe work with precious plastic machines, made by Plasticpreneur.

A simple cake tin replaces a more complex mould effectively.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Berlin, Germany\\n\\nBefore starting, decide which plastic to use and how to obtain it. We commonly use PP or HDPE, collected locally in Berlin. If plastic flakes are unavailable, seek alternative sources.\\n\\nCustom engineered molds can be expensive, especially under current conditions. Therefore, we use a simple cake tin as a prototype stool mold, as shown in the picture. It was obtained from a supermarket and functions adequately.\\n\\nAttention:\\nVerify if the bottom of the cake tin is level, as it will shape the top of your stool.\\n\\nFor our machine, we use an oven modified for compression. Place the mold inside and heat it to 250°C (482°F) for polypropylene.\\n\\nFill the cake tin with granulated material and place it in the oven. Bake for approximately one hour to ensure thorough melting. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for another hour. Once cooled, open the tin and remove the seat.\\n\\nTo level the top surface of the seat, use an electric planer. Collect excess material for future use.\\n\\nInitially, we tried wooden legs but found them difficult to secure to the seat. Ultimately, we chose metal legs that can be easily attached beneath the seat.\\n\\nPurchase the legs at a hardware store or online. They include screws. Evenly distribute the legs at the base of the seat and fasten them with the screws.\\n\\nOnce assembled, turn the stool upright and it is ready for use.\",\n \"keywords\": \"stool making, low-cost mould, cake tin stool, DIY stool, Berlin plastic recycling, homemade stool mold, polymer stool, PP HDPE stool, metal legs stool, recycled plastic furniture\",\n \"resources\": \"### Tools\\n\\n- Electric planer (for leveling the seat surface)\\n- Screwdriver (for attaching legs)\\n\\n### Hardware\\n\\n- Modified oven with compression capability (heated to 250°C/482°F)\\n- Cake tin (reused as a mould, ensure a flat bottom)\\n- Metal legs with screws (purchased from hardware stores/online)\\n\\n### Materials\\n\\n- Polypropylene (PP) or HDPE plastic flakes (locally sourced in Berlin)\\n- Granulated plastic material (for melting in the mould)\\n- Excess planed material (reused for future projects)\",\n \"references\": \"## References\\n\\n### Articles\\n\\n1.

These edges must be sanded down for a hydrodynamic shape.\\n\\n1. **Preparation**: \\n To maintain the central alignment and verticality, draw a central line and outline on both faces. This will guide you to avoid excessive material removal.\\n\\n2. **Sanding**: \\n Use a rotary tool for precise sanding. Wear safety glasses and a mask for protection.\\n\\nNote: A CNC mould, though costlier, provides a naturally hydrodynamic shape without the need for additional sanding.\\n\\nUse an electric sander to save time. Start with a coarse grit (120) to remove most material, then use a medium grit (320), and finish with a fine grit (800). These grits are just guidelines; you may experiment with different grits or polish with a very fine grit (3000 or higher).\\n\\nFor the final touch, apply brief heat to enhance the surface.\",\n \"keywords\": \"surf fin mold creation, laser cutting tutorial, 3D modeling for surf fins, plastic waste injection mold, stainless steel laser cut, surfboard fin dimensions, M8 threading in mold, hydrodynamic fin shaping, rotary sanding technique, CNC mold benefits\",\n \"resources\": \"### Required Software\\n\\n- CAD software ([Autodesk Fusion 360](https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360)) for modifying .F3D and .STEP files\\n- Laser cutting preparation tools for exporting .DXF files\\n- PDF viewer for blueprint analysis\\n\\n### Required Hardware\\n\\n- Industrial laser cutting service (stainless steel, 6–10 mm thickness)\\n- Stainless steel sheets (0.24\\\" base, 0.39\\\" top/bottom pieces)\\n- M8x40 screws and M8 threaded nuts for assembly\\n- Plastic injection machine compatible with M8 threading\\n- CNC milling machine (optional, for hydrodynamic molds)\\n\\n### Required Tools\\n\\n- Rotary tool (e.g., [Dremel](https://www.dremel.com)) for edge sanding\\n- Electric sander with grits (120–3000) for finishing\\n- Welding equipment (if M8 thread not pre-cut)\\n- Safety gear: protective glasses and respirator mask\\n- Heat source for final surface refinement\",\n \"references\": \"## Articles\\n\\n- Surf Fins Mould -

I do workshops and i mainly work with community associations to show how transform recycled plastic into money and improve perspective of small business in this area.\\n\",\n \"services\": [\n {\n \"welding\": false,\n \"assembling\": false,\n \"machining\": false,\n \"electronics\": false,\n \"molds\": false\n }\n ],\n \"title\": \"Arte 8 Reciclagem\",\n \"images\": []\n },\n \"detail\": {\n \"services\": [],\n \"urls\": []\n }\n },\n \"content\": \"Create a bowl by pressing melted plastic into kitchen molds to form items such as vases, fruit bowls, or organizers.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Sao Paulo, Brazil\\n\\nGather the following materials to begin:\\n\\n- 2 stainless steel bowls (same size or one smaller than the other)\\n- Pair of gloves\\n- Scale\\n- Oven at 374°F (190°C)\\n- Plastic PP5\\n- Bucket with water\\n\\n1.

It makes no difference whether you work with PP (Polypropylene) or PE (Polyethylene), as there are no noticeable differences between the two in this context. Keep color mixes separate. The dark blue used here was mixed with transparent flakes, which serve as an effective filler. This allows you to use less dark blue pigment without compromising the output, as the pigments are usually strong. For example, adding 2.2 lbs (1 kg) of transparent flakes to 2.2 lbs (1 kg) of dark blue yields 4.4 lbs (2 kg) of dark blue material while maintaining color quality.

The method aligns with standard practices, using a basic steel pipe mold and relying on the extruder's function. Here's how you can achieve similar results.\\n\\nIn order to create patterns with distinct layers, use at least two colors. It makes no difference whether you work with PP (Polypropylene) or PE (Polyethylene), as there are no noticeable differences between the two in this context. Keep color mixes separate. The dark blue used here was mixed with transparent flakes, which serve as an effective filler. This allows you to use less dark blue pigment without compromising the output, as the pigments are usually strong. For example, adding 2.2 lbs (1 kg) of transparent flakes to 2.2 lbs (1 kg) of dark blue yields 4.4 lbs (2 kg) of dark blue material while maintaining color quality. The white used here is pure white.\\n\\n### Extrusion Process Guide\\n\\n1. **Initial Setup**: Add a few scoops into the extruder.\\n2. **Operation**: Activate the machine and ensure the material is thoroughly melted.\\n3. **Mold Installation**: Attach the cold mold and restart the machine.\\n4. **Material Addition**:\\n - For the first color, use approximately 3 scoops total, accounting for any material already in the hopper.\\n - As the hopper nears empty, add 2 scoops of the second color.\\n - Adjust quantities as needed until the mold is filled.\\n5. **Cooling**: Remove the mold to let it cool. While some suggest water cooling to avoid leakage, it is typically unnecessary.\\n\\n## Analysis of the Mixing Process\\n\\nUpon sectioning the beam, observe the evolving pattern. Initially, the first color adheres to the mold's surface and begins to cool. Meanwhile, the inner core remains fluid, allowing subsequent colors to pass through. Repeatedly altering the input colors results in multiple layers within the beam. Proceed to the next step for further theoretical insights.\\n\\nAnother essential theory suggests that as plastic moves further into the mold, it cools, necessitating increased pressure for continued flow. The further from the inlet, the patterns become intricate due to variations in temperature and pressure. This phenomenon is particularly notable in square tubes, where flow slows at the corners. In contrast, round tubes likely produce circular patterns.\\n\\nRefer to the video for the process of creating a chessboard with these beams.

In cooperation with a suitable local organisation, we set up the infrastruture for decentralized recycling that has a positive impact for the local population on three levels: economical, ecological and social.\n\nWe have a fleet of sailing recycling ambassadors that visit remote communities to create awareness about the potential of small-sacle recycling. With the help of mobile recycling machines, they show the transformation from trash to treasure and provide information on how to set up a recycling workspace.\n\nYou live in a remote coastal community and would like to set up a small-scale recycling workspace?

Check for the recycling symbol inside the cap: '2' indicates HDPE and '5' indicates PP.\n\n2. **Physical Identification** \n If not labeled, determine plastic type by feel. HDPE caps are more flexible, PP caps are rigid. Typically, milk jug caps are HDPE; soda bottle caps may be PP. \n\n3. **Contamination Precaution** \n When uncertain about a cap's type, discard it to prevent possible contamination of the batch.\n\n### Cleaning and Preparing Caps\n\n1. **Wash Caps**: Soak caps in a sink and scrub with a brush, or for larger quantities, place them in a laundry bag and use a short cycle in the washing machine. Ensure the caps are thoroughly dried before proceeding.\n\n2. **Color Selection**: Decide on color combinations for your ornaments. While the example uses red, white, and green, choose based on your available colors and desired aesthetic.\n\nPlug in your panini press and let it heat up. Use a flat surface model for an even plastic sheet. Once hot, place a baking sheet on the press. Teflon sheets are recommended for durability.\n\nPlace bottle caps on the press; orientation doesn't matter. Cover them with a second baking sheet and close the press.\n\nTo aid the melting process, place a heavy object, such as bricks or books, on top of the press.\n\nAfter melting the bottle caps, you can add additional layers as in Step 2. The desired thickness of your ornaments will determine the number of layers. For a plastic sheet approximately 0.12 to 0.16 inches (3 to 4 mm) thick, melt 2 to 4 layers of bottle caps, depending on their size.\n\nYou should now have a layer of melted bottle caps. You may use the sheet immediately or create a batik design. To do so, wear silicone gloves, roll the warm plastic into a sausage shape, and twist it. Let your creativity guide you—pull, fold, and twist the plastic until the desired pattern is achieved. If the plastic hardens, simply reheat it in the press to make it moldable again.\n\nAt this point, you have a lump of plastic that needs to be melted again to form a flat sheet.\n\nPlace the plastic piece inside the panini press and heat it until it softens. Once pliable, apply pressure to the press. To enhance stretching, consider gently sitting on the press, ensuring you avoid burns. \n\nAlternatively, use a rolling pin after removing the plastic, though maintaining contact with the heat source typically yields better results.\n\nOpen the press periodically to check if the sheet has reached the desired thickness. Once satisfied, turn off the press and allow the sheet to cool with a weight on top to prevent deformation.\n\nOnce the sheet has cooled, you can begin designing. Use a pen suitable for plastic to sketch your ornaments. Cookie cutters or paper stencils can serve as helpful guides.\n\nConsider the sawing process when selecting a design; intricate patterns are harder to cut. Starting with simple designs and gradually moving to complex ones is advisable.\n\n## Cutting Instructions\n\nFor this step, use a fretsaw, which can be manual or electric. An electric saw simplifies the process, but a manual saw is also effective with some additional patience.\n\nGuide the saw along the lines drawn on the plastic sheet to complete your Christmas ornament.\n\nTo clean the edges of your ornament, use a sharp knife or razor blade, as it is more effective than sandpaper. Ensure all small plastic pieces are collected during this process for reuse. They can be melted down again in future projects.\n\nTo complete your ornament, drill a small hole at the top to accommodate your string, considering its thickness. \n\nWe used strings collected over the years. \n\nYour ornaments are now ready. Congratulations on your effort to reduce waste during Christmas.\n\n### Handmade Holiday Ornaments\n\nThis step is optional.

In cooperation with a suitable local organisation, we set up the infrastruture for decentralized recycling that has a positive impact for the local population on three levels: economical, ecological and social.\\n\\nWe have a fleet of sailing recycling ambassadors that visit remote communities to create awareness about the potential of small-sacle recycling. With the help of mobile recycling machines, they show the transformation from trash to treasure and provide information on how to set up a recycling workspace.\\n\\nYou live in a remote coastal community and would like to set up a small-scale recycling workspace? We would love to hear from you and try to help where we can.\\n\\nThanks for being #inmoceanforcleanoceans\",\n \"services\": [\n {\n \"welding\": false,\n \"assembling\": false,\n \"machining\": false,\n \"electronics\": false,\n \"molds\": false\n }\n ],\n \"title\": \"IN MOCEAN\",\n \"images\": []\n }\n },\n \"content\": \"Transform plastic waste into charming Christmas ornaments for decoration or gift embellishment.\\n\\n**Required Materials:**\\n\\n- Bottle caps\\n- Panini press with a flat surface\\n- Silicone gloves\\n- Baking paper\\n- Eye protection\\n- Respiratory mask\\n- Fret saw (manual or electrical)\\n- Sharp knife or razor blade\\n- Cookie cutters or paper stencil\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Luneburg, Germany\\n\\n### Bottle Cap Sorting Guide\\n\\n1. **Identify Plastic Type** \\n Sort bottle caps by type: either HDPE or PP. Check for the recycling symbol inside the cap: '2' indicates HDPE and '5' indicates PP.\\n\\n2. **Physical Identification** \\n If not labeled, determine plastic type by feel. HDPE caps are more flexible, PP caps are rigid. Typically, milk jug caps are HDPE; soda bottle caps may be PP. \\n\\n3. **Contamination Precaution** \\n When uncertain about a cap's type, discard it to prevent possible contamination of the batch.\\n\\n### Cleaning and Preparing Caps\\n\\n1. **Wash Caps**: Soak caps in a sink and scrub with a brush, or for larger quantities, place them in a laundry bag and use a short cycle in the washing machine. Ensure the caps are thoroughly dried before proceeding.\\n\\n2. **Color Selection**: Decide on color combinations for your ornaments. While the example uses red, white, and green, choose based on your available colors and desired aesthetic.\\n\\nPlug in your panini press and let it heat up. Use a flat surface model for an even plastic sheet. Once hot, place a baking sheet on the press. Teflon sheets are recommended for durability.\\n\\nPlace bottle caps on the press; orientation doesn't matter. Cover them with a second baking sheet and close the press.\\n\\nTo aid the melting process, place a heavy object, such as bricks or books, on top of the press.\\n\\nAfter melting the bottle caps, you can add additional layers as in Step 2. The desired thickness of your ornaments will determine the number of layers. For a plastic sheet approximately 0.12 to 0.16 inches (3 to 4 mm) thick, melt 2 to 4 layers of bottle caps, depending on their size.\\n\\nYou should now have a layer of melted bottle caps. You may use the sheet immediately or create a batik design. To do so, wear silicone gloves, roll the warm plastic into a sausage shape, and twist it. Let your creativity guide you—pull, fold, and twist the plastic until the desired pattern is achieved. If the plastic hardens, simply reheat it in the press to make it moldable again.\\n\\nAt this point, you have a lump of plastic that needs to be melted again to form a flat sheet.\\n\\nPlace the plastic piece inside the panini press and heat it until it softens. Once pliable, apply pressure to the press. To enhance stretching, consider gently sitting on the press, ensuring you avoid burns. \\n\\nAlternatively, use a rolling pin after removing the plastic, though maintaining contact with the heat source typically yields better results.\\n\\nOpen the press periodically to check if the sheet has reached the desired thickness. Once satisfied, turn off the press and allow the sheet to cool with a weight on top to prevent deformation.\\n\\nOnce the sheet has cooled, you can begin designing. Use a pen suitable for plastic to sketch your ornaments. Cookie cutters or paper stencils can serve as helpful guides.\\n\\nConsider the sawing process when selecting a design; intricate patterns are harder to cut. Starting with simple designs and gradually moving to complex ones is advisable.\\n\\n## Cutting Instructions\\n\\nFor this step, use a fretsaw, which can be manual or electric. An electric saw simplifies the process, but a manual saw is also effective with some additional patience.\\n\\nGuide the saw along the lines drawn on the plastic sheet to complete your Christmas ornament.\\n\\nTo clean the edges of your ornament, use a sharp knife or razor blade, as it is more effective than sandpaper. Ensure all small plastic pieces are collected during this process for reuse. They can be melted down again in future projects.\\n\\nTo complete your ornament, drill a small hole at the top to accommodate your string, considering its thickness. \\n\\nWe used strings collected over the years. \\n\\nYour ornaments are now ready. Congratulations on your effort to reduce waste during Christmas.\\n\\n### Handmade Holiday Ornaments\\n\\nThis step is optional. By gifting your handmade ornaments to friends or family, you demonstrate that new items are not necessary for Christmas decorations. Creating ornaments from bottle caps utilizes materials that might otherwise be discarded. This approach results in unique, handmade decorations. \\n\\nMerry Christmas,\\nMaria & Nike from IN MOCEAN\",\n \"keywords\": \"plastic waste recycling, Christmas ornaments DIY, bottle cap crafts, homemade holiday decorations, upcycled gift ideas, sustainable Christmas decor, eco-friendly crafts, repurposing plastic, handmade ornaments tutorial, recycling bottle caps\",\n \"resources\": \"### Tools\\n\\n- Fret saw ([manual](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fretsaw) or ~~[electrical](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigsaw_\\\\(power_tool\\\\)~~))\\n- Sharp knife or razor blade (~~[utility knife example](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Stanley-10-099-Classic/dp/B001FWP58U)~~)\\n- Cookie cutters or paper stencil (~~[cookie cutter set example](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Wilton-2304-2104-1040-Decorating-Christmas/dp/B0096SI0XW)~~)\\n- Drill ([hand drill example](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Stanley-0-83-277-Hand-Drill/dp/B0001IWU0E))\\n\\n### Hardware\\n\\n- Panini press with flat surface (~~[example](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Tefal-Sandwich-Gourmet-Grill-Omelette/dp/B07CHLFM6H)~~)\\n- Silicone gloves (~~[heat-resistant gloves](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Sistema-To-Go-Microwave-Containers-3-5liter-BPA/dp/B07PK4VDRH)~~)\\n- Baking paper (~~[parchment paper](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/B00B1JGJJ0)~~)\\n- Eye protection (~~[safety goggles](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Uvex-Protection-Super-Fog-Resistant-Transparent/dp/B003A7QCTK)~~)\\n- Respiratory mask (~~[dust mask](https://www.amazon.de/-/en/3M-8812-Particulate-Respirator-10-Pack/dp/B07FYV4CQ7)~~)\\n\\n*No software is required for this project.*\",\n \"references\": \"Here are references categorized by type, as requested:\\n\\n## Articles\\n\\n- [Decorating Clear Plastic Ornaments for Christmas | Sweet Red Poppy](https://sweetredpoppy.com/christmasornaments/)\\n- [Bottle Cap Decorations - Incredibusy](https://incredibusy.com/bottle-cap-decorations/)\\n- [Two DIY Grinch Christmas Ornaments - Bullock's Buzz](https://bullocksbuzz.com/two-diy-grinch-christmas-ornaments/)\\n\\n## Books\\n\\n- [Make Plastic Fantastic: with over 25 Recycling Craft Projects](https://shop.shakeandco.com/book/9781838523916)\\n- [12 Low Waste Kids Crafting Books - Raising Global Kidizens](https://www.raisingglobalkidizens.com/low-waste-kids-crafting-books/)\\n\\n## Papers\\n\\n- [The Bending Strength and Hardness of Recycle Plastic Type HDPE (PDF)](https://www.ijeat.org/wp-content/uploads/papers/v9i2/B2968129219.pdf)\\n\\n## YouTube\\n\\n- [How to Make DIY Glitter Ornaments the Easy Way! - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD3UG35DUx4)\\n- [Easy Christmas Decor DIY: Transform Plastic Bottles into Decorations - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuctiNAt7zo)\\n\\n## Opensource Designs\\n\\n- [Bottle Cap Crafts : 11 Steps - Instructables](https://www.instructables.com/Bottle-Cap-Crafts/)\\n\\n## GitHub\\n\\n- [alpaca_eval/results/falcon-7b-instruct/model_outputs.json](https://github.com/tatsu-lab/alpaca_eval/blob/main/results/falcon-7b-instruct/model_outputs.json)\\n\\n## Misc.\\n\\n- [Bibliography | Nathan Wyand](https://nathanwyand.com/bibliography.html)\"\n }\n}","e25f4bea7b1c08ed","run-a-workshop-on-an-event",{"id":7396,"data":7398,"filePath":7396,"digest":7714},{"slug":7396,"id":7396,"title":7399,"type":407,"components":7400,"item":7401,"config":7713},"Run a workshop on an event",[],{"tags":7402,"slug":7396,"description":7403,"category":7404,"files":7405,"creatorCountry":19,"_contentModifiedTimestamp":7406,"title":7399,"total_downloads":422,"votedUsefulBy":7407,"comments":7409,"id":7410,"cover_image":7411,"total_views":7418,"_modified":7419,"moderation":536,"fileLink":19,"_createdBy":7420,"time":647,"_created":7421,"_id":7410,"difficulty_level":425,"steps":7422,"_deleted":412,"user":7655,"content":7709,"keywords":7710,"resources":7711,"references":7712},[1263,1144],"To effectively address plastic issues, it is important to demonstrate the process in person.

Below is a brief overview of factors we at Kunststoffschmiede consider before initiating a public workshop.\n\n\nUser Location: Dresden, Germany\n\nBefore conducting workshops, decide on the type of machine to use. Consider the workshop's nature, attendee number, and available time. Ensure all machines in public settings are safe and free from gross negligence. For optimal performance, maintain cleanliness, ensure proper functioning, and have spare parts available.\n\nEnsure your molds are reliable. For optimal use:\n\n- Implement a quick-release system for fast opening and closing.\n- Opt for a small injection volume.\n- Design the product for easy demolding.\n\n## Mobile Workshop Essentials\n\nWhen departing from your workshop, consider this list from Kunststoffschmiede (Germany) for a mobile setup:\n\n- Injection machine and bicycle shredder\n- Maintenance tools\n- Product counter\n- Electric box (including power cable, distributor, and lights)\n- Molds\n- Shredded and unshredded plastic\n- Sample products to demonstrate potential\n- Informative flyers and posters\n- First aid kit\n- Camera\n- Straps, tape, and ropes\n- Tub and cleaning supplies for washing plastic\n\nFor your workshop, ensure you have both shredded and clean plastic ready for shredding. Maintaining reserves is advisable to prevent disruptions in case your shredder malfunctions.\n\n### Material and Product Samples for Inspiration\n\nHaving a range of material and product samples is beneficial to inspire and educate individuals about the potential of plastic reuse. You can showcase your own creations or acquire additional examples to illustrate efforts from various global workspaces. Present these items attractively to maximize engagement.\n\nYou must also prepare by asking yourself the following questions:\n\n- What is the purpose of this workshop?\n- What knowledge and skills do you intend to impart?\n- What are your areas of expertise?\n\nWorking as a team is more enjoyable and efficient.\n\nWe recommend having 3-4 supervisors when operating two machines, as there will always be inquiries to address.\n\nTeam Requirements:\n- Proficient in machine and mold operation\n- Communicative skills\n- Unified mindset for consistent workshop quality\n- Knowledgeable about frequently asked questions\n\nDuring the process, many people have questions. It's important to be prepared to answer the following:\n\n- What is your background?\n- What is your goal?\n- What can you recycle?\n- Are the fumes harmful?\n- What constitutes plastic?\n\nConsider that your skills are unique. If you are invited to conduct a workshop, decide whether to request payment. The amount depends on your situation.\n\nHere are some potential costs:\n- Transport\n- Use of machinery, molds, and tools\n- Team fees\n- Venue costs\n- Coordination\n- Organizational overhead\n\nIf the event is open, inform potential participants about your workshop to maximize attendance.\n\nHere are some announcement ideas:\n- Share on social media\n- Post in relevant local online communities\n- Create an event listing on community platforms\n\n### Workshop Preparation Checklist\n\nBefore departing your workshop, confirm the following with the event organizer:\n\n- **Power Source**: Verify strength and distance to the plug.\n- **Water Access**: Identify the nearest water tap.\n- **Weather Conditions**: Ensure protection from rain and proper ventilation.\n- **Space**: Determine available area.\n- **Audience**: Clarify the expected participants.\n- **Schedule**: Confirm construction and dismantling times.\n- **Liability**: Establish responsibility for any issues.\n\nLabel all stations and ensure adequate space around machines for visibility. Align your setup with the process flow for consistency. \n\nSet up your mobile workshop in advance and rest before starting.\n\nTest everything in advance with friends to ensure smooth operation. This practice helps identify areas for improvement and determines how many people you can manage simultaneously.\n\nConsider how to involve others in the process safely. Determine tasks that can be completed without risking personal or equipment safety.\n\nThe final step involves documentation.\n\nHow many people did you reach, and how many products did you produce?

Below is a brief overview of factors we at Kunststoffschmiede consider before initiating a public workshop.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Dresden, Germany\\n\\nBefore conducting workshops, decide on the type of machine to use. Consider the workshop's nature, attendee number, and available time. Ensure all machines in public settings are safe and free from gross negligence. For optimal performance, maintain cleanliness, ensure proper functioning, and have spare parts available.\\n\\nEnsure your molds are reliable. For optimal use:\\n\\n- Implement a quick-release system for fast opening and closing.\\n- Opt for a small injection volume.\\n- Design the product for easy demolding.\\n\\n## Mobile Workshop Essentials\\n\\nWhen departing from your workshop, consider this list from Kunststoffschmiede (Germany) for a mobile setup:\\n\\n- Injection machine and bicycle shredder\\n- Maintenance tools\\n- Product counter\\n- Electric box (including power cable, distributor, and lights)\\n- Molds\\n- Shredded and unshredded plastic\\n- Sample products to demonstrate potential\\n- Informative flyers and posters\\n- First aid kit\\n- Camera\\n- Straps, tape, and ropes\\n- Tub and cleaning supplies for washing plastic\\n\\nFor your workshop, ensure you have both shredded and clean plastic ready for shredding. Maintaining reserves is advisable to prevent disruptions in case your shredder malfunctions.\\n\\n### Material and Product Samples for Inspiration\\n\\nHaving a range of material and product samples is beneficial to inspire and educate individuals about the potential of plastic reuse. You can showcase your own creations or acquire additional examples to illustrate efforts from various global workspaces. Present these items attractively to maximize engagement.\\n\\nYou must also prepare by asking yourself the following questions:\\n\\n- What is the purpose of this workshop?\\n- What knowledge and skills do you intend to impart?\\n- What are your areas of expertise?\\n\\nWorking as a team is more enjoyable and efficient.\\n\\nWe recommend having 3-4 supervisors when operating two machines, as there will always be inquiries to address.\\n\\nTeam Requirements:\\n- Proficient in machine and mold operation\\n- Communicative skills\\n- Unified mindset for consistent workshop quality\\n- Knowledgeable about frequently asked questions\\n\\nDuring the process, many people have questions. It's important to be prepared to answer the following:\\n\\n- What is your background?\\n- What is your goal?\\n- What can you recycle?\\n- Are the fumes harmful?\\n- What constitutes plastic?\\n\\nConsider that your skills are unique. If you are invited to conduct a workshop, decide whether to request payment. The amount depends on your situation.\\n\\nHere are some potential costs:\\n- Transport\\n- Use of machinery, molds, and tools\\n- Team fees\\n- Venue costs\\n- Coordination\\n- Organizational overhead\\n\\nIf the event is open, inform potential participants about your workshop to maximize attendance.\\n\\nHere are some announcement ideas:\\n- Share on social media\\n- Post in relevant local online communities\\n- Create an event listing on community platforms\\n\\n### Workshop Preparation Checklist\\n\\nBefore departing your workshop, confirm the following with the event organizer:\\n\\n- **Power Source**: Verify strength and distance to the plug.\\n- **Water Access**: Identify the nearest water tap.\\n- **Weather Conditions**: Ensure protection from rain and proper ventilation.\\n- **Space**: Determine available area.\\n- **Audience**: Clarify the expected participants.\\n- **Schedule**: Confirm construction and dismantling times.\\n- **Liability**: Establish responsibility for any issues.\\n\\nLabel all stations and ensure adequate space around machines for visibility. Align your setup with the process flow for consistency. \\n\\nSet up your mobile workshop in advance and rest before starting.\\n\\nTest everything in advance with friends to ensure smooth operation. This practice helps identify areas for improvement and determines how many people you can manage simultaneously.\\n\\nConsider how to involve others in the process safely.

Our custom cooling unit, the JARVIS Airpath, allows precise fan control, ensuring the filament hardens sufficiently but remains flexible for easy winding. The winding process is optimal when the filament tracks adhere slightly to each other.\\n\\n### Filament Winding Process\\n\\nTo prepare the filament for 3D printing, use a filament winder equipped with a pull unit, a guider (to distribute the filament evenly), and a rotating spool axis. It is essential to maintain tension in the filament to avoid loose spools.\\n\\nFor this task, we employ a winding unit that automatically adjusts the spool motor speed. This ensures precise winding and consistent filament diameter. Insert the filament into the puller, thread it through the guider, and onto the spool.\\n\\nYou can now use your new filament with a 3D printer.\",\n \"keywords\": \"3D printing filament, plastic waste conversion, extruding process, filament extruder comparison, polymer drying guide, filament cooling system, JARVIS Shredder, JARVIS Airpath, filament winding process, precise filament diameter.\",\n \"resources\": \"To convert plastic waste into 3D printing filament, the tutorial specifies essential tools and hardware.

The pressing surface measures 600x600mm (approximately 23.6x23.6 inches), designed for portability and compatibility with standard single-phase 230V (110V) power. For further information, please reach out to us.\n\n\nUser Location: Leuven, Belgium\n\nThe foundation is based on the V4 sheet press, maintaining the same press and cartridge heaters but featuring a reduced steel frame with a pressing surface of 23.6 x 23.6 in (600 x 600 mm). We upgraded the bearings for a smoother fit.\n\nWe designed each heated plate with two distinct loops: an inner loop containing five cartridge heaters and an outer loop with four. The inner loop is expected to retain heat better and will therefore cycle off more frequently. We built a smaller version to facilitate use in mobile workspaces, operating at 230V to enhance compatibility with most power outlets.\n\nWe added multiple type K sensors (eight on each heating plate) to create an accurate heat map, allowing us to identify issues such as overheating or broken heaters. These sensors enable monitoring of core and peripheral temperatures, including warming and cooling speeds and fluctuations. The sensors are evenly distributed and not linked to specific heaters. Usage of this data will be explained in a subsequent step.\n\nWe replaced the original hardware PID controllers with a software version on the machine controller. This change enables further automation, data logging, and smoother integration into the user interface. It also allows us to monitor pressing times and maximum temperatures for optimized machine usage.\n\nCurrently, the thermocouples connect to a differential ADC designed for Raspberry Pi by AB Electronics. To enhance sensor performance, these will be replaced with a MAX31855, an integrated circuit by Maxim Integrated for type-K thermocouples. The heating elements are divided into four circuits—two per plate, with one outer and one inner circuit. Each circuit is controlled by the Raspberry Pi via a solid-state relay. These relays switch 230V AC and can be controlled with a 4V-48V signal. To safeguard the Pi from 230V AC short circuits, the relay drive signals are optically isolated.\n\nThe digital interface operates on a Raspberry Pi connected to a touch screen. It comprises a server and a client side. The client side is a website accessible from the Pi’s browser or any device connected to the Raspberry Pi's Wi-Fi. The server is built using Node.js.\n\n- The sheet maker page enables users to create an automated sheet, allowing selection of plastic type and desired sheet thickness. Metal frames determine thickness and sheet size/shape. The system calculates the necessary weight for production and displays the required time and temperature.\n- Next, initiate the heating process while setting up the sheet on the prep table. The system adjusts to the appropriate temperature for each plastic type automatically.\n\n- Once the plates reach the desired temperature, insert the prep sheet and select the press function. This initiates automated pressing and activates the timer. Periodically, the system will maintain pressure with an alert sound as a warning.\n- During pressing, choose options for subsequent steps: either automatic opening to 4 inches (10 cm) when the timer ends or remain closed. In both scenarios, heating will cease.\n- An alert sound signals the timer's completion.\n\n- Upon completion, you may replicate the process or restart.\n- These steps may be manually controlled on the controls page. Each of the four heating circuits can be adjusted for temperature and to open or close the press. Manual controls are not available when the sheet maker is operating automatically.\n- Two heating maps for each plate are available on the graphs page, enabling users to monitor each heating element. Additionally, there are two graphs: one showing the average temperature over the last 15 minutes and another displaying the last 2 hours.\n\n- The history tab displays all sheets produced using the automated process, including their ID numbers, average and highest temperatures, plastic types, and pressing durations.\n\n- The calculator function enables preparation of the next sheet while the machine is in operation.\n\nWe utilize pneumatics to operate the jack due to the availability of an air compressor, making it the cost-effective option. Alternatives include hydraulic systems. A pneumatic valve, controlled by the system controller, allows air to flow when the press is to be raised. To lower the press, we installed a servo to open or close the valve, letting the press descend under its own weight.\n\nUpon timer expiration (sheetmaker), a signal from the Raspberry Pi prompts the Arduino to release the press, with manual override possible if necessary.\n\nA sensor is attached to the upper plate to measure the distance to a reflector on the lower plate. The casing, a sliced PVC tube, limits interference. This measurement is sent to the Arduino, allowing the machine to determine the plates' positions and manage air flow.

The pressing surface measures 600x600mm (approximately 23.6x23.6 inches), designed for portability and compatibility with standard single-phase 230V (110V) power. For further information, please reach out to us.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Leuven, Belgium\\n\\nThe foundation is based on the V4 sheet press, maintaining the same press and cartridge heaters but featuring a reduced steel frame with a pressing surface of 23.6 x 23.6 in (600 x 600 mm). We upgraded the bearings for a smoother fit.\\n\\nWe designed each heated plate with two distinct loops: an inner loop containing five cartridge heaters and an outer loop with four. The inner loop is expected to retain heat better and will therefore cycle off more frequently. We built a smaller version to facilitate use in mobile workspaces, operating at 230V to enhance compatibility with most power outlets.\\n\\nWe added multiple type K sensors (eight on each heating plate) to create an accurate heat map, allowing us to identify issues such as overheating or broken heaters. These sensors enable monitoring of core and peripheral temperatures, including warming and cooling speeds and fluctuations. The sensors are evenly distributed and not linked to specific heaters. Usage of this data will be explained in a subsequent step.\\n\\nWe replaced the original hardware PID controllers with a software version on the machine controller. This change enables further automation, data logging, and smoother integration into the user interface. It also allows us to monitor pressing times and maximum temperatures for optimized machine usage.\\n\\nCurrently, the thermocouples connect to a differential ADC designed for Raspberry Pi by AB Electronics. To enhance sensor performance, these will be replaced with a MAX31855, an integrated circuit by Maxim Integrated for type-K thermocouples. The heating elements are divided into four circuits—two per plate, with one outer and one inner circuit. Each circuit is controlled by the Raspberry Pi via a solid-state relay. These relays switch 230V AC and can be controlled with a 4V-48V signal. To safeguard the Pi from 230V AC short circuits, the relay drive signals are optically isolated.\\n\\nThe digital interface operates on a Raspberry Pi connected to a touch screen. It comprises a server and a client side. The client side is a website accessible from the Pi’s browser or any device connected to the Raspberry Pi's Wi-Fi. The server is built using Node.js.\\n\\n- The sheet maker page enables users to create an automated sheet, allowing selection of plastic type and desired sheet thickness. Metal frames determine thickness and sheet size/shape. The system calculates the necessary weight for production and displays the required time and temperature.\\n- Next, initiate the heating process while setting up the sheet on the prep table. The system adjusts to the appropriate temperature for each plastic type automatically.\\n\\n- Once the plates reach the desired temperature, insert the prep sheet and select the press function. This initiates automated pressing and activates the timer. Periodically, the system will maintain pressure with an alert sound as a warning.\\n- During pressing, choose options for subsequent steps: either automatic opening to 4 inches (10 cm) when the timer ends or remain closed. In both scenarios, heating will cease.\\n- An alert sound signals the timer's completion.\\n\\n- Upon completion, you may replicate the process or restart.\\n- These steps may be manually controlled on the controls page. Each of the four heating circuits can be adjusted for temperature and to open or close the press. Manual controls are not available when the sheet maker is operating automatically.\\n- Two heating maps for each plate are available on the graphs page, enabling users to monitor each heating element. Additionally, there are two graphs: one showing the average temperature over the last 15 minutes and another displaying the last 2 hours.\\n\\n- The history tab displays all sheets produced using the automated process, including their ID numbers, average and highest temperatures, plastic types, and pressing durations.\\n\\n- The calculator function enables preparation of the next sheet while the machine is in operation.\\n\\nWe utilize pneumatics to operate the jack due to the availability of an air compressor, making it the cost-effective option. Alternatives include hydraulic systems. A pneumatic valve, controlled by the system controller, allows air to flow when the press is to be raised. To lower the press, we installed a servo to open or close the valve, letting the press descend under its own weight.\\n\\nUpon timer expiration (sheetmaker), a signal from the Raspberry Pi prompts the Arduino to release the press, with manual override possible if necessary.\\n\\nA sensor is attached to the upper plate to measure the distance to a reflector on the lower plate. The casing, a sliced PVC tube, limits interference. This measurement is sent to the Arduino, allowing the machine to determine the plates' positions and manage air flow.

We used such a bed to print wind turbine blades.\n\n\nUser Location: Antwerpen, Belgium\n\n### Required Materials\n\n**Basics:**\n- A 3D printer with firmware modification capability (e.g., Anycubic I3 Mega S).\n- A sturdy table, at least 6.5ft x 2.6ft (2m x 80cm).\n\n**Y-Axis Movement System:**\n- 2 SBR25 rails, each 4.9ft (1500mm).\n- 4 SBR25UU bearings with holders.\n- 8.2ft (2.5m) GT2 fiberglass belt with 0.08in (2mm) pitch.\n\n**Heated Bed:**\n- 5 aluminum profiles, each 1.6in x 0.6in (40mm x 15mm).\n- NiCr heating wire, 60 ohms, 3A, in 16 or 33ft (5m or 10m) lengths.\n- Fiberglass sleeving for insulation, heat resistant up to 302°F (150°C).\n- 16 threaded rods, 0.3in x 2in (8mm x 5cm), with 32 nuts.\n- Optional: Fiberglass cloth, 1.6ft x 1.6ft (50cm x 50cm).\n\n**Tools:**\n- Basic tools including a drill, screws, bolts, and nuts.\n\n1. Weld the aluminum profiles to create a platform measuring 3 feet 3 inches by 8 inches (1m by 20cm), ensuring connections are at the ends to prevent distortion.\n\n2. Drill holes for the bearing holders, spaced 3 feet 3 inches (1m) apart.\n\n3. Install the bearings approximately 2 inches (5cm) from the bed.\n\n4. Slide the fiberglass sleeve over the NiCr heating wire and thread it through the aluminum bed's hollow spaces.\n\n5. Optionally, place fiberglass cloth at the end of each aluminum profile to retain air.\n\nEnsure the table is stable and immobile to maintain print quality. Clean the rails and apply PTFE oil, as they may gather dust during installation. Review the technical drawing for assembly details before proceeding.\n\n1. Drill holes for mounting the Y-axis. Use an adapter bracket made from leftover square aluminum for the pipe, as the screws for the stepper are small.\n2. Position the stepper and pulley approximately 4.1 feet (1.25 meters) apart.\n3. Acquire sturdy L-hooks made from steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. Drill holes to fit the printer's U-frame. This setup allows a printable height of 10.2 inches (26 centimeters), which is about 2.4 inches (6 centimeters) more than usual.\n4. Extend the wire of the Y-stepper as needed. Use leftover 1.5mm² (approximately 0.0023 square inches) electrical cable, as a NEMA17 stepper can draw up to 2 amps.\n5. Attach the U-frame with L-hooks to the table and adjust the endstops for the Z-axis to utilize the increased height.\n6. If necessary, drill holes in the table to run the wires for the endstops and steppers, reusing original cables except for the Y-axis.\n\nCreate a cover for the print area using materials like plastic foil to retain heat, depending on the room temperature. Cardboard or leftover Styropur (a BASF product) can also be effective as sturdy options that do not require additional framing.\n\nAn adapted version for the Anycubic I3 Mega S is available [here](https://github.com/davidramiro/Marlin-Ai3M). Later versions had issues with the manual bed leveling system, which is crucial for a properly aligned bed.\n\nTo proceed, install VSCode and open the code. Modify the following settings in configuration.h to accommodate the printer's larger bed and increased build volume:\n\n- Y_BED_SIZE: 999\n- MAX_Z_HEIGHT: 260\n\nConnect your printer's mainboard via USB. VScode will automatically detect the correct serial port. Click the small arrow in the bottom left corner to start uploading.\n\n### Printer Bed Leveling Instructions\n\nInstead of manually adjusting the four knobs on the print bed, execute the G29 S1 command followed by G29 S2. The printer will calculate a 5x5 grid (can be modified in firmware) across the print bed, allowing you to adjust the nozzle height on the z-axis at each position.\n\nFor detailed information on the G29 command in Marlin firmware, visit [Marlin Documentation](https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/G029-mbl.html).\n\nOnce adjustments for all 25 points are complete, the printer will beep and reset the print head to its 0,0 position. Ensure you save the grid using the M500 command. Before each print, use M420 S1 to enable mesh-bed-leveling and load the adjusted z-coordinates. Consider adding this command to your slicer's custom g-code section to automate the process for every print.\n\nPrinting large objects can present challenges, such as adhesion issues. Larger prints are prone to warping and detaching from the printing bed. We achieved good adhesion results using rPET, PETG, and PLA combined with Formfutur's Magigoo adhesive. PET(G) adheres particularly well, and we apply a first layer of PET(G) when printing with ABS.\n\nThis extended bed modification enables the printing of wind turbine blades, allowing you to construct your own wind turbines.

We used such a bed to print wind turbine blades.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Antwerpen, Belgium\\n\\n### Required Materials\\n\\n**Basics:**\\n- A 3D printer with firmware modification capability (e.g., Anycubic I3 Mega S).\\n- A sturdy table, at least 6.5ft x 2.6ft (2m x 80cm).\\n\\n**Y-Axis Movement System:**\\n- 2 SBR25 rails, each 4.9ft (1500mm).\\n- 4 SBR25UU bearings with holders.\\n- 8.2ft (2.5m) GT2 fiberglass belt with 0.08in (2mm) pitch.\\n\\n**Heated Bed:**\\n- 5 aluminum profiles, each 1.6in x 0.6in (40mm x 15mm).\\n- NiCr heating wire, 60 ohms, 3A, in 16 or 33ft (5m or 10m) lengths.\\n- Fiberglass sleeving for insulation, heat resistant up to 302°F (150°C).\\n- 16 threaded rods, 0.3in x 2in (8mm x 5cm), with 32 nuts.\\n- Optional: Fiberglass cloth, 1.6ft x 1.6ft (50cm x 50cm).\\n\\n**Tools:**\\n- Basic tools including a drill, screws, bolts, and nuts.\\n\\n1. Weld the aluminum profiles to create a platform measuring 3 feet 3 inches by 8 inches (1m by 20cm), ensuring connections are at the ends to prevent distortion.\\n\\n2. Drill holes for the bearing holders, spaced 3 feet 3 inches (1m) apart.\\n\\n3. Install the bearings approximately 2 inches (5cm) from the bed.\\n\\n4. Slide the fiberglass sleeve over the NiCr heating wire and thread it through the aluminum bed's hollow spaces.\\n\\n5. Optionally, place fiberglass cloth at the end of each aluminum profile to retain air.\\n\\nEnsure the table is stable and immobile to maintain print quality. Clean the rails and apply PTFE oil, as they may gather dust during installation. Review the technical drawing for assembly details before proceeding.\\n\\n1. Drill holes for mounting the Y-axis. Use an adapter bracket made from leftover square aluminum for the pipe, as the screws for the stepper are small.\\n2. Position the stepper and pulley approximately 4.1 feet (1.25 meters) apart.\\n3. Acquire sturdy L-hooks made from steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. Drill holes to fit the printer's U-frame. This setup allows a printable height of 10.2 inches (26 centimeters), which is about 2.4 inches (6 centimeters) more than usual.\\n4. Extend the wire of the Y-stepper as needed. Use leftover 1.5mm² (approximately 0.0023 square inches) electrical cable, as a NEMA17 stepper can draw up to 2 amps.\\n5. Attach the U-frame with L-hooks to the table and adjust the endstops for the Z-axis to utilize the increased height.\\n6. If necessary, drill holes in the table to run the wires for the endstops and steppers, reusing original cables except for the Y-axis.\\n\\nCreate a cover for the print area using materials like plastic foil to retain heat, depending on the room temperature. Cardboard or leftover Styropur (a BASF product) can also be effective as sturdy options that do not require additional framing.\\n\\nAn adapted version for the Anycubic I3 Mega S is available [here](https://github.com/davidramiro/Marlin-Ai3M). Later versions had issues with the manual bed leveling system, which is crucial for a properly aligned bed.\\n\\nTo proceed, install VSCode and open the code. Modify the following settings in configuration.h to accommodate the printer's larger bed and increased build volume:\\n\\n- Y_BED_SIZE: 999\\n- MAX_Z_HEIGHT: 260\\n\\nConnect your printer's mainboard via USB. VScode will automatically detect the correct serial port. Click the small arrow in the bottom left corner to start uploading.\\n\\n### Printer Bed Leveling Instructions\\n\\nInstead of manually adjusting the four knobs on the print bed, execute the G29 S1 command followed by G29 S2. The printer will calculate a 5x5 grid (can be modified in firmware) across the print bed, allowing you to adjust the nozzle height on the z-axis at each position.\\n\\nFor detailed information on the G29 command in Marlin firmware, visit [Marlin Documentation](https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/G029-mbl.html).\\n\\nOnce adjustments for all 25 points are complete, the printer will beep and reset the print head to its 0,0 position. Ensure you save the grid using the M500 command. Before each print, use M420 S1 to enable mesh-bed-leveling and load the adjusted z-coordinates. Consider adding this command to your slicer's custom g-code section to automate the process for every print.\\n\\nPrinting large objects can present challenges, such as adhesion issues. Larger prints are prone to warping and detaching from the printing bed. We achieved good adhesion results using rPET, PETG, and PLA combined with Formfutur's Magigoo adhesive. PET(G) adheres particularly well, and we apply a first layer of PET(G) when printing with ABS.\\n\\nThis extended bed modification enables the printing of wind turbine blades, allowing you to construct your own wind turbines. \",\n \"keywords\": \"3D printer, longer bed modification, wind turbine blade printing, Anycubic I3 Mega S, printer firmware upgrade, Y-axis movement system, heated bed setup, NiCr heating wire, 3D printing large objects, print bed leveling\",\n \"resources\": \"### Tools\\n\\n- Basic tools (drill, screws, bolts, nuts)\\n\\n### Software\\n\\n- [VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/)\\n- [Marlin firmware for Anycubic I3 Mega S](https://github.com/davidramiro/Marlin-Ai3M)\\n- [Marlin G29 Command Documentation](https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/G029-mbl.html)\\n\\n### Hardware\\n\\n- 3D printer with firmware mod capability (e.g., [Anycubic I3 Mega S](https://github.com/davidramiro/Marlin-Ai3M))\\n- Sturdy table (≥6.5ft × 2.6ft / 2m × 80cm)\\n- Y-axis: SBR25 rails (2×4.9ft/1500mm), SBR25UU bearings (4), GT2 belt (8.2ft/2.5m)\\n- Heated bed: Aluminum profiles (5×1.6in/40mm), NiCr wire (60Ω, 5m/10m), fiberglass sleeving\\n- Optional: Fiberglass cloth (1.6ft²/50cm²)\",\n \"references\": \"## Articles\\n\\n- [Marlin Documentation](https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/G029-mbl.html)\\n\\n## Opensource Designs\\n\\n- [Marlin-Ai3M](https://github.com/davidramiro/Marlin-Ai3M)\"\n }\n}","c052f7bb6a757de6","phonecase-mould-from-a-resin-printer",{"id":9335,"data":9337,"filePath":9335,"digest":9547},{"slug":9335,"id":9335,"title":9338,"type":407,"components":9339,"item":9340,"config":9546},"Phonecase mould from a resin printer",[],{"_contentModifiedTimestamp":9341,"title":9338,"description":9342,"time":1134,"votedUsefulBy":9343,"_createdBy":9345,"_modified":9346,"_deleted":412,"fileLink":19,"slug":9335,"comments":9347,"_id":9348,"steps":9349,"tags":9483,"creatorCountry":3627,"difficulty_level":1268,"moderation":536,"_created":9341,"total_downloads":7083,"previousSlugs":9484,"mentions":9487,"total_views":9488,"cover_image":9489,"files":9496,"user":9497,"category":9541,"content":9542,"keywords":9543,"resources":9544,"references":9545},"2023-08-04T09:50:22.249Z","# Tutorial: Designing and Printing a Phone Cover Mold with a Resin Printer\n\nThis guide outlines the process of designing and printing a phone cover mold using a resin printer.

It includes essential steps for creating a mold and offers useful tips on mold design, resin printing, and manufacturing.\n\nThe zip file contains:\n1. 3D files - SLA phone cover mold (step)\n2. 3D files - SLA phone cover mold (stl)\n3. Readme with relevant links (txt)\n4. Technical drawing of the mold (pdf)\n\n\nUser Location: Lorrach, Germany\n\nBefore modeling the mold, obtain a 3D model of the phone case you intend to create. Start by locating the phone model online, utilizing a CAD library such as GrabCAD.\n\n1. Visit GrabCAD and search for your desired phone model.\n2. Download the model, preferably in STEP format.\n3. Open the model in your CAD software.\n\nAlternative CAD libraries are available, but GrabCAD frequently offers a wide range of 3D files. Registration allows free downloads.\n\n[GrabCAD Library](https://grabcad.com/library)\n\nTo design a phone cover, begin by downloading the phone model. Use this model to create the cover shape and mould. Fusion360 is a suitable 3D design software for all skill levels.\n\nTwo instructional videos can guide you in using Fusion360 for this project:\n\n1. \"Product Design Online\" offers a step-by-step tutorial on designing a phone case model. [Watch here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MmjBLYMNWY)\n\n2. Lars Christensen's channel provides a three-part series on creating a mould. [Watch here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hgmwhde1So)\n\nAlternatively, pre-made phone cover models are often available on GrabCad, which can save time in the design process.\n\nFusion 360 is a robust software utilized for various projects since 2018. While it is not free, there are options to bypass the subscription cost.\n\nStudents at universities can acquire a free educational license valid for the duration of enrollment by submitting proof of their status.\n\nAlternatively, a hobbyist version is available with some restrictions on file formats for import and export.\n\nDownload the educational version here: [autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/education](https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/education)\n\nOnce the mold is designed, it can be 3D printed using an SLA printer, which cures liquid resin into solid layers with light. If a printer is unavailable, consider online manufacturing services.\n\nMake it yourself:\n1. Prepare your model by slicing it into layers with software like ChiTuBox. Select a high-temperature resin for the mold.\n\n2. Pour the resin into the tank and start the print. Refer to available tutorials for SLA printer usage.\n\n3. Wait for the print to complete.\n\nAssign to an online manufacturer:\nConsider services like Xometry for manufacturing needs. They offer quality production with various materials, including resin. \n\nVisit Xometry: [Xometry Website](https://www.xometry.com)\n\n### Resin vs. Aluminum Moulds\n\nResin differs significantly from aluminum, particularly in thermal conductivity, impacting heating, cooling, and moulding quality.\n\nResin conducts heat poorly, allowing for thinner wall designs but resulting in longer cooling times. Despite this, resin's slower cooling can reduce tension, minimizing cracking or warping risks.\n\nHowever, resin is more brittle than aluminum, necessitating careful handling. Resin moulds are more susceptible to damage from abrasion or impact and may need more frequent maintenance or replacement.\n\nI designed a resin mold specifically for an automatic injection molding machine, which is my primary project. This fully automated machine utilizes ejector pins to remove the finished parts. Consequently, the mold's insert carries four holes for these pins.\n\nTo see the ejector mechanism in action, view the demonstration on my YouTube channel. \n\nI trust this tutorial assists you.

using a resin printer. It includes essential steps for creating a mold and offers useful tips on mold design, resin printing, and manufacturing.\\n\\nThe zip file contains:\\n1. 3D files - SLA phone cover mold (step)\\n2. 3D files - SLA phone cover mold (stl)\\n3. Readme with relevant links (txt)\\n4. Technical drawing of the mold (pdf)\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Lorrach, Germany\\n\\nBefore modeling the mold, obtain a 3D model of the phone case you intend to create. Start by locating the phone model online, utilizing a CAD library such as GrabCAD.\\n\\n1. Visit GrabCAD and search for your desired phone model.\\n2. Download the model, preferably in STEP format.\\n3. Open the model in your CAD software.\\n\\nAlternative CAD libraries are available, but GrabCAD frequently offers a wide range of 3D files. Registration allows free downloads.\\n\\n[GrabCAD Library](https://grabcad.com/library)\\n\\nTo design a phone cover, begin by downloading the phone model. Use this model to create the cover shape and mould. Fusion360 is a suitable 3D design software for all skill levels.\\n\\nTwo instructional videos can guide you in using Fusion360 for this project:\\n\\n1. \\\"Product Design Online\\\" offers a step-by-step tutorial on designing a phone case model. [Watch here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MmjBLYMNWY)\\n\\n2. Lars Christensen's channel provides a three-part series on creating a mould. [Watch here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hgmwhde1So)\\n\\nAlternatively, pre-made phone cover models are often available on GrabCad, which can save time in the design process.\\n\\nFusion 360 is a robust software utilized for various projects since 2018. While it is not free, there are options to bypass the subscription cost.\\n\\nStudents at universities can acquire a free educational license valid for the duration of enrollment by submitting proof of their status.\\n\\nAlternatively, a hobbyist version is available with some restrictions on file formats for import and export.\\n\\nDownload the educational version here: [autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/education](https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/education)\\n\\nOnce the mold is designed, it can be 3D printed using an SLA printer, which cures liquid resin into solid layers with light. If a printer is unavailable, consider online manufacturing services.\\n\\nMake it yourself:\\n1. Prepare your model by slicing it into layers with software like ChiTuBox.

Despite this, resin's slower cooling can reduce tension, minimizing cracking or warping risks.\\n\\nHowever, resin is more brittle than aluminum, necessitating careful handling. Resin moulds are more susceptible to damage from abrasion or impact and may need more frequent maintenance or replacement.\\n\\nI designed a resin mold specifically for an automatic injection molding machine, which is my primary project.

This aids in minimizing the spread of Covid-19. Constructed from 3D-printed nylon, the tool allows for rapid mold production to address this need efficiently.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Lancaster, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the)\\n\\nNylon was chosen for the mold due to its higher melting temperature compared to LDPE, used for making the No Touch Tools. Employing 3D-printed molds ensures minimal plastic usage, in contrast to CNC-machined polycarbonate sheets. While metal molds are preferable for durability and quality, they are more costly and environmentally impactful. The nylon molds have endured over 100 injections with minimal wear and offer a cost-effective alternative to metal molds.\\n\\nThe molds were printed using an Ultimaker 3D printer.\\n\\n### Metal Mould Setup Tutorial\\n\\nFor even pressure and heat dissipation, we placed metal plates (0.39 inches) on either side of the mold. Alternatively, consider designing bolt slots in the mold halves for direct clamping.\\n\\nInitially, we used through-bolts, which proved impractical. We switched to 0.39-inch steel plates clamped together with M10 bolts (0.39 inches). This improvement allows for easy mold removal and separation of parts, enhancing efficiency.\\n\\nWe use LDPE from wheel nut indicators, noted for their vibrant color and quality. Injection temperature ranges between 160-170°C (320-338°F). For each tool, 40g (1.41 oz) of plastic is placed in the injection molder. Initial leakage ensures proper flow and excess plastic ensures the mold is completely filled. The injection is performed manually and slowly, maintaining pressure once the mold is filled, as indicated by overflow. The use of nylon molds insulates the plastic, preventing rapid cooling, thus requiring sustained pressure post-injection.\\n\\nAfter injection, keep the molds clamped for 3 minutes to cool before removing the No Touch Tool. Removing the part too early may cause deformation. Do not exceed 6 minutes, as excessive shrinkage can hinder release.\\n\\nUnclamp the mold, carefully peel out the part, and allow molds to cool. A fan can accelerate this process. Using multiple molds and clamps allows for efficient cycle times, enabling new injections while previous ones cool.\\n\\nUse a sharp knife to remove the sprue and any flashing. Drill a hole at the bottom for a keyring. Attach a retractable lanyard to keep the tool accessible while minimizing contamination risk.\\n\\nUtilize tools to avoid direct contact with high-touch surfaces. Stay safe.\\n\\nTo enhance efficiency or reduce tool costs, consider these methods:\\n\\n1. Pre-heat plastic before injection using an oven rather than an extruder.\\n2. Use multiple molds to allow some products to cool while injecting others.\\n3. Load the injector with multiple doses, such as 1.4 oz (40 g), for successive injections.\",\n \"keywords\": \"No Touch Tool, 3D-Printed Nylon, Injection Molding, Covid-19 Safety, Touch-Free Solutions, High-Touch Surfaces, Nylon Molds, Ultimaker 3D Printer, LDPE Plastic, Mold Clamping Techniques\",\n \"resources\": \"### Tools Constructed\\n\\n- 3D-printed nylon molds ([Ultimaker 3D Printer](https://ultimaker.com))\\n- Metal plates (0.39-inch thickness)\\n- M10 bolts and clamps for mold pressure\\n- Sharp knife for trimming sprue/flashing\\n- Drill for keyring hole attachment\\n\\n### Materials & Consumables\\n\\n- Nylon filament for mold creation\\n- LDPE plastic (sourced from wheel nut indicators)\\n- 40g LDPE per tool injection cycle\\n- Retractable lanyard for hygiene\\n- Sprue/flashing waste material\\n\\n### Software\\n\\n- Ultimaker Cura (slicing software for 3D printing)\\n- CAD software for mold design\\n\\n### Hardware\\n\\n- Ultimaker 3D Printer ([Product page](https://ultimaker.com))\\n- Manual injection molder\\n- Metal plates (0.39-inch steel)\\n- Bolt clamps for mold assembly\\n- Oven for LDPE pre-heating (alternative to extruder)\",\n \"references\": \"**Articles**\\n\\n1.

I am super excited to be a new member of Precious Plastic and I hope that I can be of assistance to all of the members.\nI am an innovator from Saskatoon Canada. For the past 3 years, I have been researching the problems that are plaguing the Waste Management MRF facilities and Beverage Companies. I am now ready to launch the “ground-breaking” Patent Pending \"System\" that I have developed called the \"Kwik BagIt Closed-Loop Rewards Recycling System\".\n\nThe \"System\" is successfully retrieving over 80% of valuable recycled material from households and commercial businesses before it enters the MRF and Municipal Landfills. It prevents co-mingling and contamination & sends recyclable material directly to the re-processors. This will help to make these businesses more profitable and successful. \nThis is a \"game-changer\" and a possible solution to the problems facing all stakeholders who are striving toward New Zero Projections.\n\nWith today's issues of rising inflation, increasing gas prices, and lack of understanding of the intrinsic value of recycled material, the \"System\" will be able to significantly reduce the amount of unnecessary plastic, glass, and metal that are plugging up our landfills and it will provide an incentive for the public to get involved in a rewarding method of proper recycling.\nThis link will give you a brief description of the \"System\"\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYfPm62e42g\n\nI am seeking distributors in your part of the world and if you are interested in forming a joint venture please contact me\n at my e-mail: info.bestwaytorecycle.com to arrange a Zoom meeting or contact me on What’s AP at +1-306-717-3895.\nThanks, I hope to hear from you.

Ensure the plastic is clean and labels are fully removed. Cut the plastic into pieces and sort them by color.\n\nThe quantity of plastic depends on the mold size. For every 0.06 cubic inches (1 cm³) of volume, one gram of plastic is required. In this example, approximately 1.87 lbs (850 g) of HDPE is needed.\n\nPlace the plastic sheet on the oven tray with a Teflon sheet between layers. If the sheets do not stack well, transfer them to another container with a Teflon sheet.\n\nPreheat the oven to 180-190°C (356-374°F) and heat the plastic for 25-30 minutes until fully melted.\n\nRemove the plastic while wearing thick gloves. Stack and cut the plastic, folding it as needed. Experiment to develop your method for layering different colors.\n\nAfter allowing a few minutes to cool, the \"dough\" will become too firm to knead. Return it to the oven, melt, and repeat until the desired pattern is achieved.\n\nWhen satisfied with the mixture, place it into the mold and press with a heavy object. Allow it to cool.\n\nIf you have a larger mold, cut a strip approximately 1.18 in x 9.84 in x 0.98 in (30 mm x 250 mm x 25 mm) using a saw with a wood-cutting blade.\n\nPrint the outline of the brush to scale and attach it to the strip using white glue. If the surface is uneven, sand it smooth. Cut the outline with an offset of 2-3 mm (0.08-0.12 in) for additional sanding.\n\nSand the plastic to the desired shape using sandpaper with grits of 40, 80, and 120. Either a belt sander or a hand sander can be used effectively.\n\nTo address any gaps in the brush, use a soldering iron to fill them with leftover materials. Trim excess plastic with a cutter and sand the surface.\n\nWhen the brush shape is formed, sand up to 1000 grit (18.5 microns). Then polish with a wool pad at high speed. If scratches appear, sand again. Wax can be used during polishing, but it is not essential.\n\nApply adhesive to the area to be milled on the brush, and then mill it with a CNC Router, keeping 1-2 mm (0.04-0.08 in) of the brush edge intact. Ensure the hole is at least 10-15 mm (0.39-0.59 in) deep to maintain the brush's firmness. \n\nAlternatively, drilling holes is possible, but this significantly increases the time required for hair insertion.\n\nDrill an M3-M5 (0.12-0.20 in) hole at the end of the brush to attach a rope.\n\nREMINDER: Use masking tape to protect the brushes.\n\nTo insert the hair, use 1/8 to 3/16 inches (3-5 mm) of epoxy. Fill the area with hair until it is full. Allow the epoxy to set.\n\nTo ensure the brush tip remains effective, maintain approximately 20 mm (0.79 inches) for the tip and 15 mm (0.59 inches) on the opposite end.\n\nCreate a climbing brush and use it at your gym or crag to clean holds effectively.","climbing brush, woodworking techniques, HDPE plastic, CNC router, epoxy hair insertion, DIY climbing equipment, plastic melting process, brush design pattern, sanding techniques, climbing gym accessories","### Tools\n\n- Saw (jaw saw, band saw)\n- Sander (grit sizes: 40–1000)\n- Polisher with wool pad\n- Soldering iron\n- Woodworking CNC CNC Router\n\n### Hardware\n\n- Oven (180–190°C / 356–374°F)\n- Mould (12x98x8 in / 30x250x20 cm)\n- Oven tray & Teflon sheets\n- Drill (M3–M5 bits)\n- Masking tape\n\n### Materials\n\n- HDPE plastic (clean, label-free)\n- White glue\n- Epoxy resin (1/8–3/16 in / 3–5 mm thickness)\n- Wax (optional for polishing)\n- Rope (for brush attachment)","## References\n\n### Articles\n\n- Make a climbing brush - Precious Plastic Academy\n- [HDPE Blocks From Plastic Bottles - Instructables](https://www.instructables.com/HDPE-Blocks-From-Plastic-Bottles/)\n- [DIY Stick Brush - Climbing.com](https://www.climbing.com/gear/diy-stick-brush/)\n- [How to Clean Climbing Holds - Andy Librande](http://andylibrande.com/homeclimbingwall/page/2/)\n\n### YouTube\n\n- [Climbing Brushes for Different Climbers - Escape Climbing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLS-VABePT0)\n- [CNC CNC Router Bits Tutorial - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdQ-_hllmKY)\n\n### Open-Source Designs\n\n- [BHToolset for 3D-Printable Climbing Holds - GitHub](https://github.com/JeremSparte/BHToolset)\n- [PeggyBoard Interactive Climbing Wall - GitHub](https://github.com/PegorK/PeggyBoard)\n- [Code Brushes (VS Code Tool) - GitHub Next](https://githubnext.com/projects/code-brushes/)\n\n### Papers\n\n- ~~[The Emergence of the Digital Humanities (PDF)](https://pure.lib.usf.edu/ws/portalfiles/portal/40730122/The+Emergence+of+the+Digital+Humanities.pdf)~~","{\n \"slug\": \"make-a-climbing-brush\",\n \"id\": \"make-a-climbing-brush\",\n \"title\": \"Make a climbing brush\",\n \"type\": \"howto\",\n \"components\": [],\n \"item\": {\n \"category\": {\n \"_deleted\": false,\n \"_id\": \"WZbV3iGK3TwV6n62WbJC\",\n \"_created\": \"2022-09-18T08:52:31.406Z\",\n \"_modified\": \"2022-09-18T08:52:31.406Z\",\n \"label\": \"Products\"\n },\n \"mentions\": [],\n \"description\": \"Create a climbing brush using plastic and woodworking techniques to achieve a unique pattern.\\n\\nAn oven is required; powered tools like a sander, saw, and router are recommended for ease.\\n\\nFor feedback or suggestions, please leave comments or contact us on social media.\",\n \"_deleted\": false,\n \"_created\": \"2022-01-27T15:25:21.204Z\",\n \"title\": \"Make a climbing brush\",\n \"cover_image\": {\n \"fullPath\": \"uploads/howtos/IFDQLGNNvs8SrLjUQNBS/DSCF5284.jpg\",\n \"downloadUrl\": \"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2FIFDQLGNNvs8SrLjUQNBS%2FDSCF5284.jpg?alt=media&token=fd0b0e30-502c-4714-b429-167e88a4f043\",\n \"size\": 47776,\n \"contentType\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"timeCreated\": \"2022-01-27T15:26:44.782Z\",\n \"name\": \"DSCF5284.jpg\",\n \"type\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"updated\": \"2022-01-27T15:26:44.782Z\",\n \"src\": \"C:\\\\Users\\\\zx\\\\Desktop\\\\osr\\\\osr-machines\\\\howtos\\\\make-a-climbing-brush\\\\dscf5284.jpg\"\n },\n \"_modified\": \"2024-01-05T22:21:08.602Z\",\n \"fileLink\": \"\",\n \"total_views\": 741,\n \"tags\": [\n \"melting\",\n \"HDPE\",\n \"product\"\n ],\n \"_id\": \"IFDQLGNNvs8SrLjUQNBS\",\n \"slug\": \"make-a-climbing-brush\",\n \"files\": [],\n \"total_downloads\": 0,\n \"time\": \"\u003C 1 week\",\n \"steps\": [\n {\n \"images\": [\n {\n \"name\": \"DSCF4806.JPG\",\n \"updated\": \"2022-01-27T15:24:41.640Z\",\n \"fullPath\": \"uploads/howtos/IFDQLGNNvs8SrLjUQNBS/DSCF4806.JPG\",\n \"timeCreated\": \"2022-01-27T15:24:41.640Z\",\n \"contentType\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"size\": 141292,\n \"type\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"downloadUrl\": \"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2FIFDQLGNNvs8SrLjUQNBS%2FDSCF4806.JPG?alt=media&token=80591d54-69da-4249-8a96-7dac6e7dc195\",\n \"src\": \"C:\\\\Users\\\\zx\\\\Desktop\\\\osr\\\\osr-machines\\\\howtos\\\\make-a-climbing-brush\\\\dscf4806.jpg\",\n \"alt\": \"DSCF4806.JPG\"\n }\n ],\n \"title\": \"Preparation\",\n \"_animationKey\": \"unique1\",\n \"text\": \"## Required Tools\\n\\n- Oven\\n- Oven tray\\n- Two sheets of Teflon paper\\n- Oven gloves\\n- Mould: at least 12 in (30 cm) wide x 98 in (250 cm) long x 8 in (20 cm) high\\n- HDPE plastic\\n- White glue\\n- Saw (such as jaw saw or band saw)\\n- Sander (grit sizes: 40, 80, 120, 240, 400, 800, 1000)\\n- Polisher with wool pad\\n- Soldering iron\\n- Woodworking CNC router\"\n },\n {\n \"text\": \"For this project, use HDPE as it is easier to work with than PP.

Ensure the plastic is clean and labels are fully removed. Cut the plastic into pieces and sort them by color.\\n\\nThe quantity of plastic depends on the mold size. For every 0.06 cubic inches (1 cm³) of volume, one gram of plastic is required. In this example, approximately 1.87 lbs (850 g) of HDPE is needed.\\n\\nPlace the plastic sheet on the oven tray with a Teflon sheet between layers. If the sheets do not stack well, transfer them to another container with a Teflon sheet.\\n\\nPreheat the oven to 180-190°C (356-374°F) and heat the plastic for 25-30 minutes until fully melted.\\n\\nRemove the plastic while wearing thick gloves. Stack and cut the plastic, folding it as needed. Experiment to develop your method for layering different colors.\\n\\nAfter allowing a few minutes to cool, the \\\"dough\\\" will become too firm to knead. Return it to the oven, melt, and repeat until the desired pattern is achieved.\\n\\nWhen satisfied with the mixture, place it into the mold and press with a heavy object. Allow it to cool.\\n\\nIf you have a larger mold, cut a strip approximately 1.18 in x 9.84 in x 0.98 in (30 mm x 250 mm x 25 mm) using a saw with a wood-cutting blade.\\n\\nPrint the outline of the brush to scale and attach it to the strip using white glue. If the surface is uneven, sand it smooth. Cut the outline with an offset of 2-3 mm (0.08-0.12 in) for additional sanding.\\n\\nSand the plastic to the desired shape using sandpaper with grits of 40, 80, and 120. Either a belt sander or a hand sander can be used effectively.\\n\\nTo address any gaps in the brush, use a soldering iron to fill them with leftover materials. Trim excess plastic with a cutter and sand the surface.\\n\\nWhen the brush shape is formed, sand up to 1000 grit (18.5 microns). Then polish with a wool pad at high speed. If scratches appear, sand again. Wax can be used during polishing, but it is not essential.\\n\\nApply adhesive to the area to be milled on the brush, and then mill it with a CNC Router, keeping 1-2 mm (0.04-0.08 in) of the brush edge intact. Ensure the hole is at least 10-15 mm (0.39-0.59 in) deep to maintain the brush's firmness. \\n\\nAlternatively, drilling holes is possible, but this significantly increases the time required for hair insertion.\\n\\nDrill an M3-M5 (0.12-0.20 in) hole at the end of the brush to attach a rope.\\n\\nREMINDER: Use masking tape to protect the brushes.\\n\\nTo insert the hair, use 1/8 to 3/16 inches (3-5 mm) of epoxy. Fill the area with hair until it is full.

System Updates\\n\\n- Provided labor hours for realistic price estimation.\\n- Modified all sheets and parts for laser cutting and sheet metal bending.\\n- Updated the bill of materials.\\n- Revised the circuit diagram.\\n\\nSee files below for more information.\\n\\n(Last updated: October 23, 2020)\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands (Kingdom of the)\\n\\n### Summary:\\n\\nThis section details:\\n- Recent updates\\n- Challenges faced during construction\\n- Time spent and estimated cost for commercial production\\n- Suggested improvements\\n\\nImage Description: The main issue was the initial failure to ream the aluminum block holes to precise measurements.\\n\\nSolution: After consultation, holes were reamed to 11.95 mm (0.47 in). Blocks were heated to 250°C (482°F) to fit the heating element securely into the holes.\\n\\nAll sheets and tubes are designed for laser cutting and bent sheet metal. You can order them as a ready-to-weld kit, eliminating the need for manual cutting of steel tubes. This reduces labor as the parts fit easily and are numbered.\\n\\nWe revised the electrical circuit diagram and updated the Bill of Materials with our selected suppliers.\\n\\nA kWh meter has been added to reset at the start of each day for efficient monitoring of energy consumption, allowing calculation of CO2 emissions per plastic plate.\\n\\nSignal lights have been installed for each circuit to provide visual feedback when active. We also integrated ceramic fuses to protect heating groups from short circuits and manage heat effectively.\\n\\nUpon completion, numerous opportunities arise.\\n\\nOur initial commercial project was with The Student Hotel in Delft. They requested a design for their interior. Utilizing post-production HDPE plastic, we crafted the black and white cladding for their bar. The client provided their waste streams, primarily HDPE bottle caps from soda bottles, which we melted to form the plates.\\n\\nThe sheetpress allows the bending of solid surfaces. We used numerous PET plastic plates from Smile Plastics in England. The Sheetpress facilitated the easy bending of these plates for rounded bars.\",\n \"keywords\": \"Sheetpress system updates, laser cutting sheets, sheet metal bending, realistic price estimation, bill of materials update, circuit diagram revision, kWh meter installation, energy consumption monitoring, CO2 emissions calculation, HDPE plastic cladding\",\n \"resources\": \"### Tools\\n\\n- Reaming tool (11.95 mm precision)\\n- Welding equipment\\n- Temperature measurement tool (250°C monitoring)\\n\\n### Software\\n\\n- CAD software (circuit & parts design)\\n- Spreadsheet software (Bill of Materials management)\\n\\n### Hardware\\n\\n- Laser cutter (sheet & tube cutting)\\n- Sheet metal bender\\n- Heating element (250°C-capable)\\n- kWh meter (energy consumption tracking)\\n- Ceramic fuses & signal lights (circuit protection/feedback)\\n\\n### Suppliers\\n\\n- Smile Plastics ([PET plates](https://www.smile-plastics.com))\\n- The Student Hotel (HDPE waste stream partner)\\n\\nLinks reflect explicitly mentioned suppliers.

If a long clamp is available, additional instructions at the end can help improve beam quality.\n\n\nUser Location: Indialantic-Melbourne Beach, United States of America (the)\n\nIn this guide, we will outline the process to prepare plastic bags.\n\nMaterials Required:\n- Textile iron or panini press\n- Wax paper\n- HDPE plastic bags\n- A gas mask for protection\n\nSteps:\n\n1. Fold a single bag in half lengthwise.\n\n2. Roll the bag tightly so it remains thin, as it will shrink considerably.\n\n3. Place wax paper beneath and above the folded bag.\n\n4. Pass the iron over it 2-3 times with minimal pressure for less than 10 seconds per side. If using a panini press, simply press it.\n\n5. Flip the bag and repeat.\n\n6. Allow the semi-firm bag to cool under a heavy object to prevent curling, easing insertion into the mold later.\n\nNote: A standard-size bag will occupy approximately 0.4 inches (1 cm) in a 1-inch by 1-inch (2.54 cm by 2.54 cm) beam. Ensure sufficient bags are processed before proceeding.\n\nYour beam/mold requires a quick-release mechanism for easy removal before the plastic cools and obstructs access to the bottom. This guide outlines the necessary steps.\n\n### Materials Needed\n- Metal grinder\n- Hot rolled steel beam\n- Small metal scrap for use as a slider and mold bottom\n- Eye protection\n\n### Steps\n\n**Step 1:** Measure and mark 1/16 inch (or 1.6 mm) from one side of the beam for cutting. If the beam is aluminum or very thin, consider increasing this distance, but note that deeper cuts make plastic removal more difficult.\n\n**Step 2:** Repeat the marking process on the opposite side of the beam.\n\n**Step 3:** Utilize the metal grinder to make slots on both sides, ensuring they align for the metal scrap to slide through. Misaligned cuts may prevent proper fitting.\n\n**Step 4:** Select and cut a scrap metal piece to fit tightly with minimal gaps.\n\n### Beam Formation Method\n\n#### Materials Required:\n\n- Outdoor fire pit or an equivalent heat source capable of maintaining temperatures above 482°F (250°C)\n- Carbon activator gas mask\n- Mold: Hot-rolled steel tube is recommended, available at hardware stores for approximately $25\n- Heat-resistant gloves\n- Pushing stick: Use solid wood or metal matching the beam's inner dimensions\n- Fire-making materials, such as kindling\n- Pliers \n- Metal clamp, approximately 5 feet\n\nThis method is more efficient than manual techniques and produces a denser beam. A 5-foot clamp is beneficial for this process.\n\n### Steps\n\n**Step 1:** Insert a metal piece at the bottom of the mold. Ensure it is secure yet removable with pliers, serving as a quick-release mechanism for later removal.\n\n**Step 2:** Load a few plastic bags into the mold and compress them with a push stick before igniting a fire. It is advisable to use a clamp technique for adding more bags due to the difficulty of doing so manually later.\n\n**Step 3:** Build a consistently burning fire. Keep wood nearby to maintain the fire for at least 30 minutes if needed.\n\nStep 4: Position the beam over the fire and allow it to heat.\n\nStep 5: Once sufficiently heated, insert and secure the push stick in the clamp.\n\nStep 6: Tighten the clamp to compress the beam, repeating as necessary to solidify it.\n\nNote: Depending on your clamp type, you may need to adjust it by sliding the stationary side closer for additional compression length.\n\nNote: If desired, add more plastic bags after the initial compression to achieve the preferred length, though it is advisable not to exceed 10 inches (25 cm) for ease of removal.\n\n### Beam Removal Process\n\n1. **Remove Stopper:** Use pliers to extract the stopper from the bottom. \n\n2. **Attempt Beam Removal:** Press the push stick in, applying steady pressure. If successful, the process is complete. If not, proceed to the next step.\n\n3. **Reinsert Beam:** Place the beam back into the rig, ensuring the stopper is not in place. \n\n4. **Tighten Clamp:** While the material remains pliable, tighten the clamp. Once movement is detected, remove the mold from the beam and complete with the push stick.\n\n## Beam Creation Tutorial\n\n### Introduction\nBegin by constructing your mold and preparing the plastic bags. Once ready, proceed with melting the bags into beams. Be aware that manual methods may result in more air pockets compared to the use of metal clamps. If possible, utilize a metal clamp longer than 5 feet (1.5 meters) for improved results.\n\n### Materials Required\n- Outdoor fire pit or an alternative heat source capable of maintaining temperatures above 482°F (250°C).\n- Carbon activator gas mask.\n- Mold: A hot rolled steel tube is recommended; available at hardware stores for approximately $25.\n- Heat-resistant gloves.\n- Pushing stick: Made of solid wood or metal, matching the inner dimensions of your beam.\n- Materials for fire-starting, such as lighter wood.\n- Pliers.\n\nStep 1: Place the metal piece at the bottom of the mold, securing it for later removal with pliers as a quick-release mechanism.\n\nStep 2: Insert several plastic bags into the mold and compress them with a push stick before igniting a fire. Ensure the mold is not entirely filled, using no more than eight bags at a time. Compress manually to achieve a solid final product.\n\nStep 3: Maintain a consistent fire, keeping wood nearby to sustain it for at least 30 minutes.\n\n### Step 4\nHold the mold over the fire, rotating it. Prepare the push stick to compress in a few moments. If the fire is well-built, the material will become malleable in about 30 seconds.\n\n### Step 5\nUse the push stick to compress the material. Apply maximum pressure; the more force exerted, the denser the product will be.\n\n### Step 6\nGradually add extra strips of material while compressing it with the push stick between additions until you reach the desired length. Add approximately 1 inch (2.54 cm) extra to account for thermal expansion and removal.\n\n### Step 7\nOnce the beam is properly compressed, use pliers to remove the bottom slider acting as a stop. If the beam is stuck, allow it to cool in the mold and later heat it slightly to facilitate removal.","HDPE plastic beams, plastic recycling tutorial, DIY plastic beam, HDPE bag conversion, plastic molding process, homemade plastic beams, eco-friendly construction, plastic bag recycling, DIY recycling projects, plastic beam tutorial","### Tools\n\n- Metal grinder\n- Textile iron or panini press\n- 5-foot metal clamp\n- Pliers\n- Push stick (solid wood/metal)\n\n### Hardware\n\n- Hot-rolled steel tube (mold)\n- Metal scrap (slider/mold bottom)\n- Outdoor fire pit (482°F+ capable)\n- Fire-making materials (kindling)\n- Wax paper\n\n### Protective Gear\n\n- Carbon activator gas mask\n- Heat-resistant gloves\n- Eye protection","## References\n\n### Articles\n\n-\n\n### Books\n\n-\n\n### Papers\n\n-\n\n### YouTube\n\n-\n\n### Opensource Designs\n\n-","{\n \"slug\": \"creating-beams-out-of-hdpe-plastic-bags\",\n \"id\": \"creating-beams-out-of-hdpe-plastic-bags\",\n \"title\": \"Creating Beams out of HDPE plastic bags\",\n \"type\": \"howto\",\n \"components\": [],\n \"item\": {\n \"_id\": \"KOthdomlAwpph9Rtqd0I\",\n \"time\": \"\u003C 5 hours\",\n \"title\": \"Creating Beams out of HDPE plastic bags\",\n \"slug\": \"creating-beams-out-of-hdpe-plastic-bags\",\n \"_createdBy\": \"jack-apotsos\",\n \"fileLink\": \"\",\n \"_modified\": \"2024-01-19T18:23:44.699Z\",\n \"category\": {\n \"_deleted\": false,\n \"_id\": \"CrZjHORWfxEl6iDrrPIO\",\n \"label\": \"Guides\",\n \"_modified\": \"2022-09-18T08:51:47.196Z\",\n \"_created\": \"2022-09-18T08:51:47.196Z\"\n },\n \"votedUsefulBy\": [\n \"mavigogun\",\n \"mattia\"\n ],\n \"_deleted\": false,\n \"comments\": [],\n \"_created\": \"2023-11-10T02:40:53.624Z\",\n \"previousSlugs\": [\n \"creating-beams-out-of-hdpe-plastic-bags\"\n ],\n \"difficulty_level\": \"Medium\",\n \"tags\": [\n \"compression\",\n \"injection\",\n \"melting\",\n \"HDPE\"\n ],\n \"files\": [],\n \"steps\": [\n {\n \"images\": [],\n \"text\": \"In this guide, we will outline the process to prepare plastic bags.\\n\\nMaterials Required:\\n- Textile iron or panini press\\n- Wax paper\\n- HDPE plastic bags\\n- A gas mask for protection\\n\\nSteps:\\n\\n1.

If a long clamp is available, additional instructions at the end can help improve beam quality.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Indialantic-Melbourne Beach, United States of America (the)\\n\\nIn this guide, we will outline the process to prepare plastic bags.\\n\\nMaterials Required:\\n- Textile iron or panini press\\n- Wax paper\\n- HDPE plastic bags\\n- A gas mask for protection\\n\\nSteps:\\n\\n1. Fold a single bag in half lengthwise.\\n\\n2. Roll the bag tightly so it remains thin, as it will shrink considerably.\\n\\n3. Place wax paper beneath and above the folded bag.\\n\\n4. Pass the iron over it 2-3 times with minimal pressure for less than 10 seconds per side. If using a panini press, simply press it.\\n\\n5. Flip the bag and repeat.\\n\\n6. Allow the semi-firm bag to cool under a heavy object to prevent curling, easing insertion into the mold later.\\n\\nNote: A standard-size bag will occupy approximately 0.4 inches (1 cm) in a 1-inch by 1-inch (2.54 cm by 2.54 cm) beam. Ensure sufficient bags are processed before proceeding.\\n\\nYour beam/mold requires a quick-release mechanism for easy removal before the plastic cools and obstructs access to the bottom. This guide outlines the necessary steps.\\n\\n### Materials Needed\\n- Metal grinder\\n- Hot rolled steel beam\\n- Small metal scrap for use as a slider and mold bottom\\n- Eye protection\\n\\n### Steps\\n\\n**Step 1:** Measure and mark 1/16 inch (or 1.6 mm) from one side of the beam for cutting. If the beam is aluminum or very thin, consider increasing this distance, but note that deeper cuts make plastic removal more difficult.\\n\\n**Step 2:** Repeat the marking process on the opposite side of the beam.\\n\\n**Step 3:** Utilize the metal grinder to make slots on both sides, ensuring they align for the metal scrap to slide through. Misaligned cuts may prevent proper fitting.\\n\\n**Step 4:** Select and cut a scrap metal piece to fit tightly with minimal gaps.\\n\\n### Beam Formation Method\\n\\n#### Materials Required:\\n\\n- Outdoor fire pit or an equivalent heat source capable of maintaining temperatures above 482°F (250°C)\\n- Carbon activator gas mask\\n- Mold: Hot-rolled steel tube is recommended, available at hardware stores for approximately $25\\n- Heat-resistant gloves\\n- Pushing stick: Use solid wood or metal matching the beam's inner dimensions\\n- Fire-making materials, such as kindling\\n- Pliers \\n- Metal clamp, approximately 5 feet\\n\\nThis method is more efficient than manual techniques and produces a denser beam. A 5-foot clamp is beneficial for this process.\\n\\n### Steps\\n\\n**Step 1:** Insert a metal piece at the bottom of the mold. Ensure it is secure yet removable with pliers, serving as a quick-release mechanism for later removal.\\n\\n**Step 2:** Load a few plastic bags into the mold and compress them with a push stick before igniting a fire. It is advisable to use a clamp technique for adding more bags due to the difficulty of doing so manually later.\\n\\n**Step 3:** Build a consistently burning fire. Keep wood nearby to maintain the fire for at least 30 minutes if needed.\\n\\nStep 4: Position the beam over the fire and allow it to heat.\\n\\nStep 5: Once sufficiently heated, insert and secure the push stick in the clamp.\\n\\nStep 6: Tighten the clamp to compress the beam, repeating as necessary to solidify it.\\n\\nNote: Depending on your clamp type, you may need to adjust it by sliding the stationary side closer for additional compression length.\\n\\nNote: If desired, add more plastic bags after the initial compression to achieve the preferred length, though it is advisable not to exceed 10 inches (25 cm) for ease of removal.\\n\\n### Beam Removal Process\\n\\n1. **Remove Stopper:** Use pliers to extract the stopper from the bottom. \\n\\n2. **Attempt Beam Removal:** Press the push stick in, applying steady pressure. If successful, the process is complete. If not, proceed to the next step.\\n\\n3. **Reinsert Beam:** Place the beam back into the rig, ensuring the stopper is not in place. \\n\\n4. **Tighten Clamp:** While the material remains pliable, tighten the clamp. Once movement is detected, remove the mold from the beam and complete with the push stick.\\n\\n## Beam Creation Tutorial\\n\\n### Introduction\\nBegin by constructing your mold and preparing the plastic bags. Once ready, proceed with melting the bags into beams. Be aware that manual methods may result in more air pockets compared to the use of metal clamps. If possible, utilize a metal clamp longer than 5 feet (1.5 meters) for improved results.\\n\\n### Materials Required\\n- Outdoor fire pit or an alternative heat source capable of maintaining temperatures above 482°F (250°C).\\n- Carbon activator gas mask.\\n- Mold: A hot rolled steel tube is recommended; available at hardware stores for approximately $25.\\n- Heat-resistant gloves.\\n- Pushing stick: Made of solid wood or metal, matching the inner dimensions of your beam.\\n- Materials for fire-starting, such as lighter wood.\\n- Pliers.\\n\\nStep 1: Place the metal piece at the bottom of the mold, securing it for later removal with pliers as a quick-release mechanism.\\n\\nStep 2: Insert several plastic bags into the mold and compress them with a push stick before igniting a fire. Ensure the mold is not entirely filled, using no more than eight bags at a time. Compress manually to achieve a solid final product.\\n\\nStep 3: Maintain a consistent fire, keeping wood nearby to sustain it for at least 30 minutes.\\n\\n### Step 4\\nHold the mold over the fire, rotating it. Prepare the push stick to compress in a few moments. If the fire is well-built, the material will become malleable in about 30 seconds.\\n\\n### Step 5\\nUse the push stick to compress the material. Apply maximum pressure; the more force exerted, the denser the product will be.\\n\\n### Step 6\\nGradually add extra strips of material while compressing it with the push stick between additions until you reach the desired length. Add approximately 1 inch (2.54 cm) extra to account for thermal expansion and removal.\\n\\n### Step 7\\nOnce the beam is properly compressed, use pliers to remove the bottom slider acting as a stop. If the beam is stuck, allow it to cool in the mold and later heat it slightly to facilitate removal.\",\n \"keywords\": \"HDPE plastic beams, plastic recycling tutorial, DIY plastic beam, HDPE bag conversion, plastic molding process, homemade plastic beams, eco-friendly construction, plastic bag recycling, DIY recycling projects, plastic beam tutorial\",\n \"resources\": \"### Tools\\n\\n- Metal grinder\\n- Textile iron or panini press\\n- 5-foot metal clamp\\n- Pliers\\n- Push stick (solid wood/metal)\\n\\n### Hardware\\n\\n- Hot-rolled steel tube (mold)\\n- Metal scrap (slider/mold bottom)\\n- Outdoor fire pit (482°F+ capable)\\n- Fire-making materials (kindling)\\n- Wax paper\\n\\n### Protective Gear\\n\\n- Carbon activator gas mask\\n- Heat-resistant gloves\\n- Eye protection\",\n \"references\": \"## References\\n\\n### Articles\\n\\n-\\n\\n### Books\\n\\n-\\n\\n### Papers\\n\\n-\\n\\n### YouTube\\n\\n-\\n\\n### Opensource Designs\\n\\n-\"\n }\n}","c57af20891dab053","tips--tricks-for-furniture-development",{"id":11267,"data":11269,"filePath":11267,"digest":11548},{"slug":11267,"id":11267,"title":11270,"type":407,"components":11271,"item":11272,"config":11547},"Tips & Tricks for furniture development.",[],{"total_views":11273,"moderation":536,"category":11274,"creatorCountry":421,"cover_image":11275,"_contentModifiedTimestamp":11282,"description":11283,"difficulty_level":425,"_deleted":412,"total_downloads":422,"comments":11284,"_modified":11289,"_id":11290,"_created":11291,"files":11292,"fileLink":19,"tags":11293,"_createdBy":8086,"title":11270,"slug":11267,"time":1134,"votedUsefulBy":11294,"steps":11301,"id":11290,"user":11485,"content":11543,"keywords":11544,"resources":11545,"references":11546},649,{"_created":1585,"label":1584,"_deleted":412,"_modified":1585,"_id":1586},{"fullPath":11276,"contentType":1299,"name":11277,"updated":11278,"type":1299,"downloadUrl":11279,"size":11280,"timeCreated":11278,"src":11281},"uploads/howtos/KknTu1EXNRD1C4qxAMma/NEON-+-EXPLOTED-180125828e0.png","NEON-+-EXPLOTED-180125828e0.png","2022-04-10T07:58:29.418Z","https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2FKknTu1EXNRD1C4qxAMma%2FNEON-%2B-EXPLOTED-180125828e0.png?alt=media&token=a3f4b94d-2bd6-4787-b7e8-bcaf76d240cf",327507,"C:\\Users\\zx\\Desktop\\osr\\osr-machines\\howtos\\tips--tricks-for-furniture-development\\neon--exploted-180125828e0.png","2023-06-14T11:02:17.746Z","Achieving a smooth and glossy finish is essential.

The aim is to make plastics appear attractive and high-quality.\n\nWe outline the process to create an HDPE cradle that can be transformed into two rocking chairs. Tips and techniques are provided to attain a shiny finish and conceal screws or fixings effectively.\n\n\nUser Location: Ensenada, Mexico\n\n### Assembly and Finishing Process\n\nThis video outlines the steps involved in assembling and finishing the cradle. The following instructions cover essential details about the materials and tools used.\n\nThe process was developed by Blue Phoenix Plastic Mexico. The method of manufacturing plastic sheets affects the surface finish. To achieve a smooth finish, apply a mold release and use a polished surface.\n\nCNC parameters:\n\n- CNC Router: Makita 3709, 110 V, 530 W, 30,000 rpm.\n- CNC Router Bit: ARMG-808-L Melin Tool (1 Flute, Carbide, Dia: 1/4 in, LOC: 1-1/4 in, OAL: 3 in, Shank: 1/4 in, Single End, Helix 30°).\n- Spindle Speed: 30,000 rpm.\n- Cutting Feedrate: 94.5 in/min (2400 mm/min).\n- Plunge Feedrate: 11.8 in/min (300 mm/min).\n- Maximum Roughing Stepdown: 0.047 in (1.2 mm).\n\nWhen producing plastic sheets, thickness may vary between batches. If a specific thickness is required, a wood planer can be used.\n\nSave the plastic remnants, as they are ready for future use. In this project, these remnants were utilized for the next step.\n\nHardware:\n\n- Ryobi AP-10 planer.\n\nEven industrially produced recycled plastic sheets may have imperfections. These can be repaired using the same material.\n\nEmploy a heat gun or hair dryer and shape leftover material into a ball slightly larger than the hole. Pre-heat the affected area and, using a flathead screwdriver, press the plastic ball into the hole, applying additional heat if necessary.\n\nLeave extra material to ensure complete filling; excess can be sanded off.\n\n### Surface Finishing Process\n\nThe quality of the HDPE sheet's surface affects the finishing process. If the surface is rough, it can be sanded manually or with a band or orbital sander. Using a wood planer for a specific thickness may result in a rough surface, necessitating the use of wet-dry sandpaper. We used grits in this order: 220, 320, 400, 800, 1200, 2000.\n\nFor a smooth edge finish, utilize a worn belt on a band sander. Applying pressure against the rotating belt can melt the rough edge, resulting in a smooth finish within seconds.\n\n### Process for Removing Tabs and Smoothing Edges\n\nThis step applies to sheets cut with CNC leaving tabs for attachment during transportation. It also ensures smooth edge finishes.\n\nUsing a CNC Router at 35,000 RPM with a flush trim CNC Router bit effectively removes the tabs and refines the edges.\n\n#### Required Tools:\n\n- Amana Tool - 47100 Carbide Tipped Flush Trim 3/8\" Diameter x 1/4\" Shank\n- Bosch CNC Router, Colt 1-Horsepower, 5.6 Amp, Electronic Variable-Speed, Model PR20EVS\n\nThe design process is fundamental, even though it is interlinked with subsequent steps.\n\nConcealing screws and fixings can create a seamless appearance. An important design choice involves selecting the material and head type of screws. For this furniture, stainless steel flathead socket screws were used.\n\nIt is important to plan screw placement to ensure they remain hidden or less visible during use. In this instance, the sides of the rocking chairs were divided into two profiles. This approach conceals the structural screws with an additional profile, enhancing mechanical strength while providing an exterior without visible screws.\n\nThis process can be completed using a CNC machine.

The aim is to make plastics appear attractive and high-quality.\\n\\nWe outline the process to create an HDPE cradle that can be transformed into two rocking chairs. Tips and techniques are provided to attain a shiny finish and conceal screws or fixings effectively.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Ensenada, Mexico\\n\\n### Assembly and Finishing Process\\n\\nThis video outlines the steps involved in assembling and finishing the cradle. The following instructions cover essential details about the materials and tools used.\\n\\nThe process was developed by Blue Phoenix Plastic Mexico. The method of manufacturing plastic sheets affects the surface finish. To achieve a smooth finish, apply a mold release and use a polished surface.\\n\\nCNC parameters:\\n\\n- CNC Router: Makita 3709, 110 V, 530 W, 30,000 rpm.\\n- CNC Router Bit: ARMG-808-L Melin Tool (1 Flute, Carbide, Dia: 1/4 in, LOC: 1-1/4 in, OAL: 3 in, Shank: 1/4 in, Single End, Helix 30°).\\n- Spindle Speed: 30,000 rpm.\\n- Cutting Feedrate: 94.5 in/min (2400 mm/min).\\n- Plunge Feedrate: 11.8 in/min (300 mm/min).\\n- Maximum Roughing Stepdown: 0.047 in (1.2 mm).\\n\\nWhen producing plastic sheets, thickness may vary between batches. If a specific thickness is required, a wood planer can be used.\\n\\nSave the plastic remnants, as they are ready for future use. In this project, these remnants were utilized for the next step.\\n\\nHardware:\\n\\n- Ryobi AP-10 planer.\\n\\nEven industrially produced recycled plastic sheets may have imperfections. These can be repaired using the same material.\\n\\nEmploy a heat gun or hair dryer and shape leftover material into a ball slightly larger than the hole. Pre-heat the affected area and, using a flathead screwdriver, press the plastic ball into the hole, applying additional heat if necessary.\\n\\nLeave extra material to ensure complete filling; excess can be sanded off.\\n\\n### Surface Finishing Process\\n\\nThe quality of the HDPE sheet's surface affects the finishing process. If the surface is rough, it can be sanded manually or with a band or orbital sander. Using a wood planer for a specific thickness may result in a rough surface, necessitating the use of wet-dry sandpaper. We used grits in this order: 220, 320, 400, 800, 1200, 2000.\\n\\nFor a smooth edge finish, utilize a worn belt on a band sander. Applying pressure against the rotating belt can melt the rough edge, resulting in a smooth finish within seconds.\\n\\n### Process for Removing Tabs and Smoothing Edges\\n\\nThis step applies to sheets cut with CNC leaving tabs for attachment during transportation. It also ensures smooth edge finishes.\\n\\nUsing a CNC Router at 35,000 RPM with a flush trim CNC Router bit effectively removes the tabs and refines the edges.\\n\\n#### Required Tools:\\n\\n- Amana Tool - 47100 Carbide Tipped Flush Trim 3/8\\\" Diameter x 1/4\\\" Shank\\n- Bosch CNC Router, Colt 1-Horsepower, 5.6 Amp, Electronic Variable-Speed, Model PR20EVS\\n\\nThe design process is fundamental, even though it is interlinked with subsequent steps.\\n\\nConcealing screws and fixings can create a seamless appearance. An important design choice involves selecting the material and head type of screws. For this furniture, stainless steel flathead socket screws were used.\\n\\nIt is important to plan screw placement to ensure they remain hidden or less visible during use. In this instance, the sides of the rocking chairs were divided into two profiles. This approach conceals the structural screws with an additional profile, enhancing mechanical strength while providing an exterior without visible screws.\\n\\nThis process can be completed using a CNC machine. However, due to varying thicknesses in the plastic sheets, it was done manually.\\n\\nA countersink bit was employed to ensure the screw head is level with the sheet.\\n\\n### Photography Tips for Makers\\n\\nA quality product deserves attractive photos to showcase the effort involved in its creation.\\n\\n**Lighting**: The most crucial aspect of photography is lighting, even more so than the camera's quality.\\n\\n**Instructions for Small Products**: Use colorful cardboard as a backdrop, find an outdoor space with good lighting, and take numerous photos from various angles to ensure you have multiple options.\\n\\n**Example**: View a photo shoot for a screwless plant mold [here](https://www.instagram.com/p/CbCgXJClI3f).\",\n \"keywords\": \"HDPE cradle, plastic sheet finishing, CNC router tips, DIY plastic furniture, Ensenada Mexico manufacturing, concealed screws design, smooth edge finish, recycled plastic process, photography tips for makers, Blue Phoenix Plastic Mexico.\",\n \"resources\": \"Here's a concise breakdown of the required tools and hardware from the tutorial, organized by category:\\n\\n### Hardware\\n\\n- **Makita 3709 CNC CNC Router** (110V, 530W, 30,000 RPM spindle)\\n- **Bosch Colt PR20EVS CNC CNC Router** (1 HP, 5.6 Amp, variable speed)\\n- **Ryobi AP-10 Planer** for adjusting plastic sheet thickness\\n- **Band/Orbital Sander** for smoothing rough surfaces\\n- **Heat Gun/Hair Dryer** for plastic repairs\\n\\n### Tools\\n\\n- **Amana Tool 47100 Flush Trim Bit** (3/8\\\" diameter, carbide-tipped)\\n- **Melin Tool ARMG-808-L CNC Router Bit** (1-flute carbide, 1/4\\\" diameter, 30° helix)\\n- **Wet-Dry Sandpaper** (220–2000 grit sequence for finishing)\\n- **Countersink Bit** for flush screw installation\\n- **Flathead Screwdriver** for material repairs\\n\\nNo specific software was mentioned in the process.\",\n \"references\": \"- **Articles**\\n - https://www.rapiddirect.com/blog/what-is-vapor-polishing/\\n - https://shop.machinemfg.com/vapor-polishing-for-smooth-glossy-surfaces-a-complete-guide/\\n - https://www.premiumparts.com/blog/vapor-polishing-finish-for-a-smooth-glossy-surface-comprehensive-guide\\n - https://www.jhd-material.com/knowledge/how-to-cut-hdpe-board-\\n - https://onearmy.github.io/academy/create/finishing\\n - https://uvteco.com/blogs-about-plastic/machining-high-density-polyethylene-hdpe\\n - https://www.nitrofreeze.com/hdpe/\\n\\n- **YouTube**\\n - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-igxhoGEQFU\\n\\n- **Opensource Designs**\\n - https://community.preciousplastic.com/library/make-your-sheet-shiny\\n - https://serwalloutdoor.com/traditional-porch-rocking-chair/\"\n }\n}","216ecb77a00296bf","how-to-create-sheets-with-filament-spools",{"id":11549,"data":11551,"filePath":11549,"digest":11684},{"slug":11549,"id":11549,"title":11552,"type":407,"components":11553,"item":11554,"config":11683},"How to create sheets with filament spools",[],{"_deleted":412,"creatorCountry":1236,"moderatorFeedback":19,"total_views":7086,"difficulty_level":425,"moderation":536,"slug":11549,"votedUsefulBy":11555,"_modified":11556,"_createdBy":11557,"tags":11558,"mentions":11559,"_created":11560,"time":423,"description":11561,"title":11552,"_id":11562,"previousSlugs":11563,"_contentModifiedTimestamp":11560,"files":11564,"total_downloads":181,"category":11565,"comments":11566,"steps":11567,"cover_image":11622,"fileLink":19,"user":11629,"content":11679,"keywords":11680,"resources":11681,"references":11682},[2709],"2024-01-24T13:10:08.372Z","lowpoly",[1264,1266],[],"2024-01-18T10:40:04.373Z","3D printing does not inherently generate waste; however, the spools used often become discarded by-products.

When designing a product to fit with an existing item, take precise measurements from it to establish a correct baseline. For this broom hanger, I measured broom and mop diameters, ranging from 0.83 to 0.94 inches (21-24 mm). I will use the smaller measurement of 0.83 inches (21 mm) as a reference for the clamping system design.\n\n### How to Develop a Design\n\nInitiating a design begins with outlining your ideas on paper. Document all essential details to shape an effective design. Particular attention should be given to aspects such as wall thickness, which influences:\n- Required injection pressure\n- Product flexibility\n- Material resistance and durability\n\nTo address these aspects, examine and compare materials from previously developed products.\n\n### Mold Design for Product Shape\n\nThe broom hanger will be created using an injection machine, necessitating an enclosed mold. With the previously sketched product concept, I proceed to design the mold, focusing on six key criteria:\n\n1. **Define the Product Shape:** Ensure the mold accurately reflects the intended design.\n2. **Use Standard Measures:** Adhere to typical size specifications.\n3. **Facilitate Plastic Intake and Mold Connection:** Ensure efficient material flow and secure connection.\n4. **Allow for Opening and Ejection Post-Injection:** Design for easy removal of the finished product.\n5. **Enable Adjustment and Closure:** Ensure precise alignment and secure closing mechanisms.\n6. **Simplify the Machining Process:** Design for ease of manufacturing and operation.\n\nEach criterion will be detailed in the subsequent steps.\n\nCertainly, here is the revised text:\n\n---\n\nConsider the shapes that will form the cavity inside the mold. For this product, there are three components: \n\n1. A cylinder (part 1) for the broomstick space.\n2. A concentric circular tube (part 2) for the exterior of the hanger.\n3. A block (part 3) to form the inner space and create an opening. \n\nNext, select the standard bars or tubes to use.\n\n### Material Measurements for Makers\n\nIn Colombia, materials such as metal bars and steel planks are commonly available in inches, which often makes them more accessible and cost-effective. Adapting to these standard measurements can help you avoid unnecessary expenses. \n\nFor the inner cylinder, consider using a ¾ inch (19.05 mm) rod, which closely matches the 21 mm broomstick size. For the outer wall, a 1 inch (25.4 mm) tube is recommended, resulting in an approximate broom hanger thickness of ⅛ inch (3.17 mm).\n\nInvestigate your local market to identify the most suitable measurements for your project.\n\nConsider the flow of plastic within the mold. The path should be as short as possible with sufficient space for complete distribution. Drill a ¼ inch (6.35 mm) hole for entry, with a maximum height of 0.39 inches (10 mm), positioned centrally to ensure even distribution. For the broom hanger, fill the mold from its center. To connect the mold to the injection machine, use half of a standard ½ inch (12.7 mm) pipe nipple, welded to a flange that attaches to the mold with closing screws.\n\nAs the plastic solidifies into the product, ensure the mold can be opened to release it. The mold should split into several parts for this purpose. However, fewer parts result in a simpler, more stable, and cost-effective mold. For the broom hanger, which functions as a hook, consider using three pieces: two for the exterior, which split in half to release the product, and one for the interior that will hold the broomstick and be removed by pulling it out.\n\n### Mold Assembly and Alignment\n\nTo ensure proper alignment and withstand injection pressure, employ male/female guides between mold parts for a secure fit. Conic dowels are effective in maintaining alignment during assembly. For closure and pressure resistance, use through screws to tightly secure mold parts. Drill mold holes slightly larger than the screws (for 1/4-inch screws, drill 5/16-inch holes) to facilitate easier disassembly if parts shift during injection. Additionally, consider opening the screw hole side to allow screw removal by slightly loosening the bolts, avoiding the need for full removal.\n\nDesign your products using basic shapes such as cubes, cylinders, cones, and straight lines. These shapes are straightforward to create with manual lathes and mills. Utilizing concentric, aligned, and perpendicular figures enhances the machining process. Simplicity in design leads to simplicity in execution. Use standard measurements; for example, holes matching a drill bit's size and grooves matching a milling cutter's width allow for faster, more precise work. For instance, a broom hanger can be designed as a straight plastic tube with an opening on one side, involving straightforward line milling and circular hole creation for the mold parts.\n\nWe aim for greater precision than paper allows, so we utilize CAD software to model mold dimensions accurately.

When designing a product to fit with an existing item, take precise measurements from it to establish a correct baseline. For this broom hanger, I measured broom and mop diameters, ranging from 0.83 to 0.94 inches (21-24 mm). I will use the smaller measurement of 0.83 inches (21 mm) as a reference for the clamping system design.\\n\\n### How to Develop a Design\\n\\nInitiating a design begins with outlining your ideas on paper. Document all essential details to shape an effective design. Particular attention should be given to aspects such as wall thickness, which influences:\\n- Required injection pressure\\n- Product flexibility\\n- Material resistance and durability\\n\\nTo address these aspects, examine and compare materials from previously developed products.\\n\\n### Mold Design for Product Shape\\n\\nThe broom hanger will be created using an injection machine, necessitating an enclosed mold. With the previously sketched product concept, I proceed to design the mold, focusing on six key criteria:\\n\\n1. **Define the Product Shape:** Ensure the mold accurately reflects the intended design.\\n2. **Use Standard Measures:** Adhere to typical size specifications.\\n3. **Facilitate Plastic Intake and Mold Connection:** Ensure efficient material flow and secure connection.\\n4. **Allow for Opening and Ejection Post-Injection:** Design for easy removal of the finished product.\\n5. **Enable Adjustment and Closure:** Ensure precise alignment and secure closing mechanisms.\\n6. **Simplify the Machining Process:** Design for ease of manufacturing and operation.\\n\\nEach criterion will be detailed in the subsequent steps.\\n\\nCertainly, here is the revised text:\\n\\n---\\n\\nConsider the shapes that will form the cavity inside the mold. For this product, there are three components: \\n\\n1. A cylinder (part 1) for the broomstick space.\\n2. A concentric circular tube (part 2) for the exterior of the hanger.\\n3. A block (part 3) to form the inner space and create an opening. \\n\\nNext, select the standard bars or tubes to use.\\n\\n### Material Measurements for Makers\\n\\nIn Colombia, materials such as metal bars and steel planks are commonly available in inches, which often makes them more accessible and cost-effective. Adapting to these standard measurements can help you avoid unnecessary expenses. \\n\\nFor the inner cylinder, consider using a ¾ inch (19.05 mm) rod, which closely matches the 21 mm broomstick size. For the outer wall, a 1 inch (25.4 mm) tube is recommended, resulting in an approximate broom hanger thickness of ⅛ inch (3.17 mm).\\n\\nInvestigate your local market to identify the most suitable measurements for your project.\\n\\nConsider the flow of plastic within the mold. The path should be as short as possible with sufficient space for complete distribution. Drill a ¼ inch (6.35 mm) hole for entry, with a maximum height of 0.39 inches (10 mm), positioned centrally to ensure even distribution. For the broom hanger, fill the mold from its center. To connect the mold to the injection machine, use half of a standard ½ inch (12.7 mm) pipe nipple, welded to a flange that attaches to the mold with closing screws.\\n\\nAs the plastic solidifies into the product, ensure the mold can be opened to release it. The mold should split into several parts for this purpose. However, fewer parts result in a simpler, more stable, and cost-effective mold. For the broom hanger, which functions as a hook, consider using three pieces: two for the exterior, which split in half to release the product, and one for the interior that will hold the broomstick and be removed by pulling it out.\\n\\n### Mold Assembly and Alignment\\n\\nTo ensure proper alignment and withstand injection pressure, employ male/female guides between mold parts for a secure fit. Conic dowels are effective in maintaining alignment during assembly. For closure and pressure resistance, use through screws to tightly secure mold parts. Drill mold holes slightly larger than the screws (for 1/4-inch screws, drill 5/16-inch holes) to facilitate easier disassembly if parts shift during injection. Additionally, consider opening the screw hole side to allow screw removal by slightly loosening the bolts, avoiding the need for full removal.\\n\\nDesign your products using basic shapes such as cubes, cylinders, cones, and straight lines. These shapes are straightforward to create with manual lathes and mills. Utilizing concentric, aligned, and perpendicular figures enhances the machining process. Simplicity in design leads to simplicity in execution. Use standard measurements; for example, holes matching a drill bit's size and grooves matching a milling cutter's width allow for faster, more precise work. For instance, a broom hanger can be designed as a straight plastic tube with an opening on one side, involving straightforward line milling and circular hole creation for the mold parts.\\n\\nWe aim for greater precision than paper allows, so we utilize CAD software to model mold dimensions accurately. Continuing from the previous step, CAD enables us to create and refine mold versions based on the six design criteria.\\n\\nHere are some decisions made during the mold design process:\\n- The injection point should be centrally located on the product's body.\\n- To prevent pressure from opening the mold, the injection point should be on a solid section, not at the mold's seam.\\n- The flange with the nipple connector should be affixed to a flat mold face using the same closing screws.\\n\\nThe design process should culminate in detailed drawings and a comprehensive parts list. Consider the machining steps to identify critical procedures, such as machining parts together for precise fitting and determining fixation methods to the machine. Document all this information in the drawings.\\n\\nCreate a parts list for all raw materials as a shopping guide. Include dimensions and quantities. Purchase raw parts slightly longer (0.2 to 0.4 inches) than final dimensions to accommodate machine fixation and final adjustments.\\n\\nWith your mold design ready, proceed to construct it and create your product.

The methods used were experimental and imperfect. Use this as a learning tool and for inspiration.\n\n## How to Build a Boat with Alternative Materials\n\nWe began by collaborating with a local boat builder, Ali Skanda from Lamu, who was open to using unconventional materials. He and his team applied their expertise to this new challenge.\n\nIt is advisable to partner with experienced boat builders to focus on integrating new materials into existing processes without the added complexity of mastering boat construction.\n\nWe collaborated with Ali Skanda to design a boat and outline the necessary components and joineries.\n\nThe aim is to construct a boat large enough to convey the message against single-use plastic and plastic pollution globally.\n\nBelow are sketches providing an overview of the parts.\n\nIn our effort to produce everything locally in Kenya, a significant challenge was establishing collaborations with manufacturers capable of delivering quality materials consistently.\n\nInitially, manufacturers mixed different plastics or added substances like sawdust or sand as stiffeners. We succeeded in having them work with a single type of plastic without additives. An essential step in this process involved obtaining material samples and testing the joinery for boat construction.\n\nStarting with samples can help save time and reduce costs before ordering larger quantities of materials.\n\nHaving established the procedures, we began manufacturing components for a 79-foot (24-meter) boat. The parts were substantial. \n\nAlthough the quality was quite basic, it demonstrated feasibility. Given the novelty and significant investment involved, we opted to build a smaller 33-foot (10-meter) prototype first.\n\nNext, we will detail how we created the Flipflopi Dogo (\"dogo\" means \"small\" in Kiswahili).\n\n### Overview of Production Process\n\nThe production of major components like the keel and ribs posed significant challenges. We utilized available resources, acknowledging potential areas for improvement. \n\nWe worked with a plastic manufacturer in Malindi known for producing fencing posts and tiles. \n\nBelow is an overview of their process. We created over 30 metal molds for various boat parts, using HDPE, a commonly collected material. \n\nSam and his team were instrumental in exploring different processes and materials.\n\nFor the planks, we collaborated with manufacturers in Nairobi who also produce fencing posts and other construction materials. It is common to mix sawdust into the material to enhance stiffness and reduce costs, though this mixture can compromise durability. After several attempts, we succeeded in producing planks made entirely from recycled plastic. These planks were crafted using professional, industrial machines, but can also be made using the Extrusion Pro machine.\n\nCertainly. Here is the revised text:\n\n---\n\nForty percent of the waste collected on beaches consisted of flip-flops, inspiring the project's name and their inclusion in the boat's design.\n\nThe entire boat was covered with sheets of flip-flops, providing a colorful appearance and an additional protective layer resembling a large yoga mat.\n\nThese sheets were crafted by local artist James, who cuts the flip-flops into pieces, glues them, and sands them into even sheets.\n\n## How to Build the Boat\n\nBegin with constructing the keel, ribs, and connection parts, followed by forming the hull with extruded planks, and conclude with the Flipflop sheets.\n\nThe boatbuilders adhered to traditional methods, using fundamental tools, where screws were inserted with a hand drill and screwdriver.\n\nThis hands-on expertise requires a skilled boatbuilder.\n\nThe next step involved adding parts from other sailing boats, such as the mast, boom, sail, and ropes. With these additions, the boat was ready for its intended purpose: sailing. \n\nOn our maiden voyage, the boat successfully sailed over 310 miles (500 km) from northern Kenya to Zanzibar, safely transporting passengers and capturing interest along the route.\n\n**Important:** Ensure your boat is seaworthy. You are responsible for the safety of yourself and your passengers.\n\nIt was a significant endeavor with considerable learning, resulting in a functional boat. However, the process had room for improvement.\n\nDuring this time, we conducted additional tests and analyzed material properties. A report is available here: [Material Analysis Report](tinyurl.com/flipflopi-material-analysis).\n\nThe document shared in Step 1 contains further details.\n\n### Project Update\n\nWe have successfully engaged numerous individuals worldwide with our expedition and its narrative, effectively fostering beneficial change.\n\nOur next step is to construct a larger vessel capable of navigating greater distances and reaching a broader audience. This ambitious project presents several challenges, but as Ali Skanda notes, \"Kila kitu inawezekana\" – everything is possible.\n\nFor inquiries or to support our endeavors, please contact theflipflopi@gmail.com or consider supporting us at [patreon.com/theflipflopi](https://www.patreon.com/theflipflopi).\n\nIf you create a similar vessel, we encourage you to share your achievements with us.","Flipflopi, recycled plastic boat, Kenya boat building, alternative materials, plastic pollution solutions, sustainable sailing, innovative boat design, Ali Skanda, upcycled flip-flops, eco-friendly construction.","### Tools\n\n- Hand drill (traditional joinery) [1]\n- Screwdriver (manual fastening) [1]\n\n### Hardware\n\n- Metal molds (30+ for HDPE components) [1]\n- Extrusion Pro machine (plank production) [1]\n- Industrial plastic extruders (professional-grade manufacturing) [1]\n\n### Materials\n\n- Recycled HDPE plastic (primary construction material) [1]\n- Flip-flops (outer protective sheets) [1]\n- Adhesives (flip-flop sheet assembly) [1]\n\n### Partnerships & Resources\n\n- ~~[Material Analysis Report](tinyurl.com/flipflopi-material-analysis)~~ [1]\n- Local manufacturers in Malindi and Nairobi (component production) [1]\n\n### Safety & Compliance\n\n- Seaworthiness verification (critical for safe operation) [1]","## Papers\n\n- [Material Analysis Report](https://tinyurl.com/flipflopi-material-analysis)\n\n## Community Support\n\n- [Flipflopi Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/theflipflopi)","{\n \"slug\": \"build-a-flipflopi-boat\",\n \"id\": \"build-a-flipflopi-boat\",\n \"title\": \"Build a 'Flipflopi' boat\",\n \"type\": \"howto\",\n \"components\": [],\n \"item\": {\n \"mentions\": [],\n \"_id\": \"M40SkCtKKfiAgCGJCPn5\",\n \"tags\": [\n \"product\",\n \"research\",\n \"extrusion\"\n ],\n \"moderation\": \"accepted\",\n \"_deleted\": false,\n \"_created\": \"2023-10-10T05:05:22.993Z\",\n \"previousSlugs\": [\n \"build-a-flipflopi-boat\"\n ],\n \"total_downloads\": 4,\n \"cover_image\": {\n \"downloadUrl\": \"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2FM40SkCtKKfiAgCGJCPn5%2Fflipflopi-sailing-front-2.jpg?alt=media&token=d49972a6-1dc9-42fd-92d0-28c6ac908fa0\",\n \"fullPath\": \"uploads/howtos/M40SkCtKKfiAgCGJCPn5/flipflopi-sailing-front-2.jpg\",\n \"name\": \"flipflopi-sailing-front-2.jpg\",\n \"contentType\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"timeCreated\": \"2021-02-10T07:37:28.404Z\",\n \"type\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"size\": 153266,\n \"updated\": \"2021-02-10T07:37:28.404Z\",\n \"src\": \"C:\\\\Users\\\\zx\\\\Desktop\\\\osr\\\\osr-machines\\\\howtos\\\\build-a-flipflopi-boat\\\\flipflopi-sailing-front-2.jpg\"\n },\n \"creatorCountry\": \"ke\",\n \"votedUsefulBy\": [\n \"marcelaazoubel\",\n \"mattia\",\n \"jamil\",\n \"albertoalfonzo\",\n \"chrismclarke\",\n \"francisco\",\n \"josephklatt\",\n \"mlvarsani\",\n \"nico\",\n \"pacoacu13\",\n \"seanoart\",\n \"thla\",\n \"tudi\"\n ],\n \"files\": [],\n \"description\": \"The Flipflopi is a sailing boat constructed from recycled plastic and flip-flops gathered in Kenya. \\n\\nHere, we share its construction process and insights gained.\",\n \"_modified\": \"2024-02-01T16:07:08.082Z\",\n \"_createdBy\": \"the-flipflopi\",\n \"title\": \"Build a 'Flipflopi' boat\",\n \"difficulty_level\": \"Very Hard\",\n \"_contentModifiedTimestamp\": \"2023-10-10T05:05:22.993Z\",\n \"fileLink\": \"https://tinyurl.com/flipflopi-build-documentation\",\n \"total_views\": 207,\n \"comments\": [],\n \"slug\": \"build-a-flipflopi-boat\",\n \"time\": \"1+ months\",\n \"steps\": [\n {\n \"_animationKey\": \"unique1\",\n \"images\": [\n {\n \"downloadUrl\": \"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2FM40SkCtKKfiAgCGJCPn5%2Fflipflopi-howto-step1.jpg?alt=media&token=813c5bd0-a14f-496a-97ad-4f4ad77c6cab\",\n \"name\": \"flipflopi-howto-step1.jpg\",\n \"type\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"updated\": \"2021-02-10T07:37:39.532Z\",\n \"fullPath\": \"uploads/howtos/M40SkCtKKfiAgCGJCPn5/flipflopi-howto-step1.jpg\",\n \"contentType\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"size\": 268187,\n \"timeCreated\": \"2021-02-10T07:37:39.532Z\",\n \"src\": \"C:\\\\Users\\\\zx\\\\Desktop\\\\osr\\\\osr-machines\\\\howtos\\\\build-a-flipflopi-boat\\\\flipflopi-howto-step1.jpg\",\n \"alt\": \"flipflopi-howto-step1.jpg\"\n }\n ],\n \"text\": \"This boat is a prototype, the first of its kind.

He and his team applied their expertise to this new challenge.\\n\\nIt is advisable to partner with experienced boat builders to focus on integrating new materials into existing processes without the added complexity of mastering boat construction.\\n\\nWe collaborated with Ali Skanda to design a boat and outline the necessary components and joineries.\\n\\nThe aim is to construct a boat large enough to convey the message against single-use plastic and plastic pollution globally.\\n\\nBelow are sketches providing an overview of the parts.\\n\\nIn our effort to produce everything locally in Kenya, a significant challenge was establishing collaborations with manufacturers capable of delivering quality materials consistently.\\n\\nInitially, manufacturers mixed different plastics or added substances like sawdust or sand as stiffeners. We succeeded in having them work with a single type of plastic without additives. An essential step in this process involved obtaining material samples and testing the joinery for boat construction.\\n\\nStarting with samples can help save time and reduce costs before ordering larger quantities of materials.\\n\\nHaving established the procedures, we began manufacturing components for a 79-foot (24-meter) boat. The parts were substantial. \\n\\nAlthough the quality was quite basic, it demonstrated feasibility. Given the novelty and significant investment involved, we opted to build a smaller 33-foot (10-meter) prototype first.\\n\\nNext, we will detail how we created the Flipflopi Dogo (\\\"dogo\\\" means \\\"small\\\" in Kiswahili).\\n\\n### Overview of Production Process\\n\\nThe production of major components like the keel and ribs posed significant challenges. We utilized available resources, acknowledging potential areas for improvement. \\n\\nWe worked with a plastic manufacturer in Malindi known for producing fencing posts and tiles. \\n\\nBelow is an overview of their process. We created over 30 metal molds for various boat parts, using HDPE, a commonly collected material. \\n\\nSam and his team were instrumental in exploring different processes and materials.\\n\\nFor the planks, we collaborated with manufacturers in Nairobi who also produce fencing posts and other construction materials. It is common to mix sawdust into the material to enhance stiffness and reduce costs, though this mixture can compromise durability. After several attempts, we succeeded in producing planks made entirely from recycled plastic. These planks were crafted using professional, industrial machines, but can also be made using the Extrusion Pro machine.\\n\\nCertainly. Here is the revised text:\\n\\n---\\n\\nForty percent of the waste collected on beaches consisted of flip-flops, inspiring the project's name and their inclusion in the boat's design.\\n\\nThe entire boat was covered with sheets of flip-flops, providing a colorful appearance and an additional protective layer resembling a large yoga mat.\\n\\nThese sheets were crafted by local artist James, who cuts the flip-flops into pieces, glues them, and sands them into even sheets.\\n\\n## How to Build the Boat\\n\\nBegin with constructing the keel, ribs, and connection parts, followed by forming the hull with extruded planks, and conclude with the Flipflop sheets.\\n\\nThe boatbuilders adhered to traditional methods, using fundamental tools, where screws were inserted with a hand drill and screwdriver.\\n\\nThis hands-on expertise requires a skilled boatbuilder.\\n\\nThe next step involved adding parts from other sailing boats, such as the mast, boom, sail, and ropes. With these additions, the boat was ready for its intended purpose: sailing. \\n\\nOn our maiden voyage, the boat successfully sailed over 310 miles (500 km) from northern Kenya to Zanzibar, safely transporting passengers and capturing interest along the route.\\n\\n**Important:** Ensure your boat is seaworthy. You are responsible for the safety of yourself and your passengers.\\n\\nIt was a significant endeavor with considerable learning, resulting in a functional boat. However, the process had room for improvement.\\n\\nDuring this time, we conducted additional tests and analyzed material properties. A report is available here: [Material Analysis Report](tinyurl.com/flipflopi-material-analysis).\\n\\nThe document shared in Step 1 contains further details.\\n\\n### Project Update\\n\\nWe have successfully engaged numerous individuals worldwide with our expedition and its narrative, effectively fostering beneficial change.\\n\\nOur next step is to construct a larger vessel capable of navigating greater distances and reaching a broader audience. This ambitious project presents several challenges, but as Ali Skanda notes, \\\"Kila kitu inawezekana\\\" – everything is possible.\\n\\nFor inquiries or to support our endeavors, please contact theflipflopi@gmail.com or consider supporting us at [patreon.com/theflipflopi](https://www.patreon.com/theflipflopi).\\n\\nIf you create a similar vessel, we encourage you to share your achievements with us.\",\n \"keywords\": \"Flipflopi, recycled plastic boat, Kenya boat building, alternative materials, plastic pollution solutions, sustainable sailing, innovative boat design, Ali Skanda, upcycled flip-flops, eco-friendly construction.\",\n \"resources\": \"### Tools\\n\\n- Hand drill (traditional joinery) [1]\\n- Screwdriver (manual fastening) [1]\\n\\n### Hardware\\n\\n- Metal molds (30+ for HDPE components) [1]\\n- Extrusion Pro machine (plank production) [1]\\n- Industrial plastic extruders (professional-grade manufacturing) [1]\\n\\n### Materials\\n\\n- Recycled HDPE plastic (primary construction material) [1]\\n- Flip-flops (outer protective sheets) [1]\\n- Adhesives (flip-flop sheet assembly) [1]\\n\\n### Partnerships & Resources\\n\\n- ~~[Material Analysis Report](tinyurl.com/flipflopi-material-analysis)~~ [1]\\n- Local manufacturers in Malindi and Nairobi (component production) [1]\\n\\n### Safety & Compliance\\n\\n- Seaworthiness verification (critical for safe operation) [1]\",\n \"references\": \"## Papers\\n\\n- [Material Analysis Report](https://tinyurl.com/flipflopi-material-analysis)\\n\\n## Community Support\\n\\n- [Flipflopi Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/theflipflopi)\"\n }\n}","54c73b6be066333e","faceshield-with-extrusion-die-and-a4-clear-sheet",{"id":12165,"data":12167,"filePath":12165,"digest":12354},{"slug":12165,"id":12165,"title":12168,"type":407,"components":12169,"item":12170,"config":12353},"Faceshield with extrusion die and A4 clear sheet",[],{"id":12171,"tags":12172,"votedUsefulBy":12173,"slug":12165,"description":12174,"_deleted":412,"title":12168,"category":12175,"difficulty_level":425,"cover_image":12176,"_createdBy":12183,"creatorCountry":19,"total_views":12184,"_contentModifiedTimestamp":12185,"files":12186,"comments":12187,"moderation":536,"steps":12188,"_modified":12302,"total_downloads":422,"time":1134,"fileLink":19,"_created":12303,"_id":12171,"user":12304,"content":12349,"keywords":12350,"resources":12351,"references":12352},"NEmohAtaOZYJY0kUgHNM",[428,2162],[418],"This guide demonstrates how to make a face shield using fundamental materials and an extrusion machine.

Face shields are in short supply in many regions impacted by COVID-19, and as many as 22 may be required per patient. A fast, DIY approach to production is essential. Note that face shields are meant to supplement goggles and masks, aiming to reduce viral exposure.\n\n\nUser Location: Wick, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the)\n\n### Instructions for Nozzle Design\n\nThe nozzle should feature a large entry point with a tapering end. Incorporate bars to partially cool the material and guide it towards the exit. To activate, apply heat using a hot air gun. The external plates should be spaced 0.04 inches (1 mm) apart. Operating without a nozzle increases difficulty in controlling the thickness and elasticity of the resulting band.\n\n[Watch the tutorial here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTiQqPFE9vs)\n\nThis part requires care to ensure the plastic is extracted evenly, maintaining consistent thickness and flow. Operate the motor at the slowest speed. Variations in thickness and cooling rates may cause twisting. Heat it with a hot air gun and use a metal mangle to straighten it, though the strip may remain slightly concave, which does not affect the design. Based on the Badger shield specifications, the optimal head contact is 13 inches (33 cm). Cut accordingly. We used HDPE, commonly sourced and easy to melt, from locally recovered ocean plastic.\n\nThe ideal attachment is a clothing elastic band. In its absence, use rope as shown in an example from a tutorial. To facilitate attachment without knots, punch several holes. A 10 mm (0.4 in) square wood chisel is suitable. Create three pairs of holes and one set of three holes on one end, or reduce to two pairs if using rope.\n\nArrange components according to the drawing for optimal comfort. The two-hole design enables quick adjustment for any head size. The third hole provides a secure latch for the elastic band. For easier adjustment, use a knot as shown in the third illustration.\n\n### Instructions for Assembling a Screen Attachment\n\n1. Center the screen with your attachment and begin stapling at one end. Three staples are sufficient: one at each end and one in the middle, applied progressively from one side to the other.\n \n2. Ensure staples remain open until the screen is pulled tightly against the extruded plastic strip. If necessary, repunch the screen to achieve the desired tension.\n\n3. Plastic sheets can be obtained from overhead projectors or lamination machines, where two ends can be adhered together.\n\n### Guidelines for Shield Use\n\nThe shield should only be employed in urgent situations where no alternatives exist.

Face shields are in short supply in many regions impacted by COVID-19, and as many as 22 may be required per patient. A fast, DIY approach to production is essential. Note that face shields are meant to supplement goggles and masks, aiming to reduce viral exposure.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Wick, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the)\\n\\n### Instructions for Nozzle Design\\n\\nThe nozzle should feature a large entry point with a tapering end. Incorporate bars to partially cool the material and guide it towards the exit. To activate, apply heat using a hot air gun. The external plates should be spaced 0.04 inches (1 mm) apart. Operating without a nozzle increases difficulty in controlling the thickness and elasticity of the resulting band.\\n\\n[Watch the tutorial here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTiQqPFE9vs)\\n\\nThis part requires care to ensure the plastic is extracted evenly, maintaining consistent thickness and flow. Operate the motor at the slowest speed. Variations in thickness and cooling rates may cause twisting. Heat it with a hot air gun and use a metal mangle to straighten it, though the strip may remain slightly concave, which does not affect the design. Based on the Badger shield specifications, the optimal head contact is 13 inches (33 cm). Cut accordingly. We used HDPE, commonly sourced and easy to melt, from locally recovered ocean plastic.\\n\\nThe ideal attachment is a clothing elastic band. In its absence, use rope as shown in an example from a tutorial. To facilitate attachment without knots, punch several holes. A 10 mm (0.4 in) square wood chisel is suitable. Create three pairs of holes and one set of three holes on one end, or reduce to two pairs if using rope.\\n\\nArrange components according to the drawing for optimal comfort. The two-hole design enables quick adjustment for any head size. The third hole provides a secure latch for the elastic band. For easier adjustment, use a knot as shown in the third illustration.\\n\\n### Instructions for Assembling a Screen Attachment\\n\\n1. Center the screen with your attachment and begin stapling at one end. Three staples are sufficient: one at each end and one in the middle, applied progressively from one side to the other.\\n \\n2. Ensure staples remain open until the screen is pulled tightly against the extruded plastic strip. If necessary, repunch the screen to achieve the desired tension.\\n\\n3. Plastic sheets can be obtained from overhead projectors or lamination machines, where two ends can be adhered together.\\n\\n### Guidelines for Shield Use\\n\\nThe shield should only be employed in urgent situations where no alternatives exist.

Drill a hole in the center of the metal sheet (no. 8) to securely fit one half of the pipe nipple. Weld parts no. 7 and no. 8 together, and then chamfer the welded edge on the lathe.\n\n(Drawings page 3-5)\n\nCreate the female mold by taking aluminum block no. 1 and drilling a hole that is 1 inch (2.54 cm) deep in the center of face A. Begin with smaller drill bits, gradually increasing to 1 inch (2.54 cm). Next, mill face B to create a channel 1 inch (2.54 cm) wide. Utilize a round point bit for a smoother finish.\n\n(Refer to drawings on page 6)\n\nDrill a 5 mm (0.2 in) hole through the center of the female mold.\n\n(Drawings page 6)\n\nThe male mold consists of three parts. Prepare aluminum parts 2, 3, and 5. Begin with the aluminum rod (part 5). Mill one side of the rod to a height of 3.17 mm (1/8 inch) and a width of 14.19 mm (9/16 inch). \n\n(Refer to drawings on page 7)\n\nTake part no. 3 and mill one face at a 15° angle. Then mill the opposite face to a 15° angle until the narrow face measures 14.19 mm (0.56 inches) and the wider face measures 21 mm (0.83 inches), matching the face of part 5. Refer to drawings on page 7.\n\nTo assemble the male mold, align the centers of the previous parts with part no. 2. Secure with clamps and drill two holes, 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) deep. On part no. 5, drill flat countersinks for screw no. 9 heads. Use button head screws, washers, and nuts (no. 9-11) to fasten the three parts.\n\n(Drawings pages 8-9)\n\nAlign the female and male parts of the mold and secure them with a small press or locking pliers. Mark the hole positions from the drawings onto the face of part 2 and drill two holes with a 9.5mm (3/8 inch) diameter. Drill through part 2 and 1cm (0.39 inch) deep into part 1.\n\n(Refer to drawings on page 10)\n\n### Tutorial Instructions\n\nTurn the round metal bar (no. 6) to create the conical guides. Saw a channel on one side to allow air flow during insertion. Using a vice or hammer, insert the conical guides into part no. 1. \n\n(Refer to drawings on page 11)\n\nFix the nozzle by securing the female and male parts with a small press or locking pliers, then drill four 9/32\" (7 mm) holes at the corners of both parts. Close the mold and adjust the ends for an even surface between the male and female parts.\n\n(Drawings page 12)\n\nSecure each cap (no. 4) and drill four holes with a 5mm (3/16 inch) diameter through the cap, penetrating 25mm (1 inch) into both female and male mold parts. Tap each hole in the female and male sections with a ¼ inch thread. Enlarge the holes in the caps to ¼ inch and secure them with bolts (no. 12).\n\n(Refer to drawings on page 13)\n\nFinal Step: Use a hand saw to cut two slots per side for easier bolt insertion and removal. Secure the mold with four bolts and butterfly nuts (size 13-14).\n\nRefer to Drawings on page 14.\n\nThe broom hanger mold is complete and ready for injection. Flexible plastics such as HDPE and PP are recommended as they are less prone to cracking.\n\nTo open the mold, use a flat screwdriver to gently separate the parts. To remove the plastic product, use a flat screwdriver or putty knife to detach it from the male mold. It is advisable to perform this while the plastic is still warm, but ensure the mold is returned to its original shape afterward.\n\nTo install the broom hanger, drill a hole in the wall, insert a wall plug, and secure it with a screw.","wall-mounted clamp, broom hanger mold, injection machine mold, steel pipe nipple, aluminum block mold, male and female mold, flexible plastics injection, HDPE and PP materials, mold assembly instructions, industrial mold making","### Tools\n\n- Drilling machine with various bits (5mm, 9.5mm, ¼\") [Page 6, 10, 13]\n- Lathe for chamfering welded edges [Page 3]\n- Milling machine with round point bit [Page 6]\n- Welding equipment for joining steel parts [Page 3]\n- Tap set (¼\" thread) [Page 13]\n\n### Hardware\n\n- Steel pipe nipple (no. 7) and metal sheet (no. 8) [Page 3]\n- Aluminum blocks (no. 1, 2, 3) and rod (no. 5) [Page 6, 7]\n- Screws, washers, nuts (no. 9-11) and bolts (no. 12-14) [Page 9, 13]\n- Conical guides (no. 6) from round metal bar [Page 11]\n- Caps (no. 4) for mold assembly [Page 13]\n\n### Software\n\n- None specified (technical drawings on pages 3–14 guide fabrication).\n\n### Materials\n\n- HDPE or PP plastic pellets for injection molding [Final Step].\n- Wall plugs and screws for installation [Final Step].\n\nTechnical drawings (pages 3–14) are critical for dimensional accuracy.

Drill a hole in the center of the metal sheet (no. 8) to securely fit one half of the pipe nipple. Weld parts no. 7 and no. 8 together, and then chamfer the welded edge on the lathe.\\n\\n(Drawings page 3-5)\\n\\nCreate the female mold by taking aluminum block no. 1 and drilling a hole that is 1 inch (2.54 cm) deep in the center of face A. Begin with smaller drill bits, gradually increasing to 1 inch (2.54 cm). Next, mill face B to create a channel 1 inch (2.54 cm) wide. Utilize a round point bit for a smoother finish.\\n\\n(Refer to drawings on page 6)\\n\\nDrill a 5 mm (0.2 in) hole through the center of the female mold.\\n\\n(Drawings page 6)\\n\\nThe male mold consists of three parts. Prepare aluminum parts 2, 3, and 5. Begin with the aluminum rod (part 5). Mill one side of the rod to a height of 3.17 mm (1/8 inch) and a width of 14.19 mm (9/16 inch). \\n\\n(Refer to drawings on page 7)\\n\\nTake part no. 3 and mill one face at a 15° angle. Then mill the opposite face to a 15° angle until the narrow face measures 14.19 mm (0.56 inches) and the wider face measures 21 mm (0.83 inches), matching the face of part 5. Refer to drawings on page 7.\\n\\nTo assemble the male mold, align the centers of the previous parts with part no. 2. Secure with clamps and drill two holes, 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) deep. On part no. 5, drill flat countersinks for screw no. 9 heads. Use button head screws, washers, and nuts (no. 9-11) to fasten the three parts.\\n\\n(Drawings pages 8-9)\\n\\nAlign the female and male parts of the mold and secure them with a small press or locking pliers. Mark the hole positions from the drawings onto the face of part 2 and drill two holes with a 9.5mm (3/8 inch) diameter. Drill through part 2 and 1cm (0.39 inch) deep into part 1.\\n\\n(Refer to drawings on page 10)\\n\\n### Tutorial Instructions\\n\\nTurn the round metal bar (no. 6) to create the conical guides. Saw a channel on one side to allow air flow during insertion. Using a vice or hammer, insert the conical guides into part no. 1. \\n\\n(Refer to drawings on page 11)\\n\\nFix the nozzle by securing the female and male parts with a small press or locking pliers, then drill four 9/32\\\" (7 mm) holes at the corners of both parts. Close the mold and adjust the ends for an even surface between the male and female parts.\\n\\n(Drawings page 12)\\n\\nSecure each cap (no. 4) and drill four holes with a 5mm (3/16 inch) diameter through the cap, penetrating 25mm (1 inch) into both female and male mold parts. Tap each hole in the female and male sections with a ¼ inch thread. Enlarge the holes in the caps to ¼ inch and secure them with bolts (no. 12).\\n\\n(Refer to drawings on page 13)\\n\\nFinal Step: Use a hand saw to cut two slots per side for easier bolt insertion and removal. Secure the mold with four bolts and butterfly nuts (size 13-14).\\n\\nRefer to Drawings on page 14.\\n\\nThe broom hanger mold is complete and ready for injection. Flexible plastics such as HDPE and PP are recommended as they are less prone to cracking.\\n\\nTo open the mold, use a flat screwdriver to gently separate the parts. To remove the plastic product, use a flat screwdriver or putty knife to detach it from the male mold. It is advisable to perform this while the plastic is still warm, but ensure the mold is returned to its original shape afterward.\\n\\nTo install the broom hanger, drill a hole in the wall, insert a wall plug, and secure it with a screw.\",\n \"keywords\": \"wall-mounted clamp, broom hanger mold, injection machine mold, steel pipe nipple, aluminum block mold, male and female mold, flexible plastics injection, HDPE and PP materials, mold assembly instructions, industrial mold making\",\n \"resources\": \"### Tools\\n\\n- Drilling machine with various bits (5mm, 9.5mm, ¼\\\") [Page 6, 10, 13]\\n- Lathe for chamfering welded edges [Page 3]\\n- Milling machine with round point bit [Page 6]\\n- Welding equipment for joining steel parts [Page 3]\\n- Tap set (¼\\\" thread) [Page 13]\\n\\n### Hardware\\n\\n- Steel pipe nipple (no. 7) and metal sheet (no. 8) [Page 3]\\n- Aluminum blocks (no. 1, 2, 3) and rod (no. 5) [Page 6, 7]\\n- Screws, washers, nuts (no. 9-11) and bolts (no. 12-14) [Page 9, 13]\\n- Conical guides (no. 6) from round metal bar [Page 11]\\n- Caps (no. 4) for mold assembly [Page 13]\\n\\n### Software\\n\\n- None specified (technical drawings on pages 3–14 guide fabrication).\\n\\n### Materials\\n\\n- HDPE or PP plastic pellets for injection molding [Final Step].\\n- Wall plugs and screws for installation [Final Step].\\n\\nTechnical drawings (pages 3–14) are critical for dimensional accuracy.

We enhanced our injection mould machine by integrating a 5-ton (approximately 4.5 metric tons) log splitter, significantly improving production capabilities. These videos outline our methods, including the process for producing thick parts.\\n\\n**Caution:** This upgrade involves dangerous hydraulic machinery. Exercise caution.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Melbourne, Australia\\n\\n# Injection Machine Upgrade Guide\\n\\n**Requirements:**\\n- Injection machine\\n- 5-ton (4.54 metric ton) log splitter\\n- Skills in cutting steel, welding, and drilling\\n- Hopper (Refer to attached .zip file)\\n\\nFor reference, view the log splitter used: [Log Splitter Link](www.bunnings.com.au/homelite-2200w-5t-electric-log-splitter_p0044725)\\n\\nIn this video, we demonstrate the use of our hydraulic injection molding machine, which we designed for producing larger and more complex products.\\n\\nDue to safety concerns, monitoring the pressure within the barrel is advisable. While we initially employed a load cell, it limited stroke length. We now either add vents to our molds or measure the appropriate amount of plastic for each shot.\\n\\n### Machine Upgrade Tips\\n\\nThis machine may not suit all workshops, but it has proven invaluable for us.\\n\\nIf you plan to upgrade your machine, consider the following:\\n\\n- **Monitor Pressure**: We initially used a load cell (see second image), which reduced our stroke length. We now weigh each shot.\\n \\n- **Orientation Adjustment**: Change the orientation to fit your workshop.\\n\\n- **Quick Release**: Develop a quick release for a moving barrel.\\n\\nPlease exercise caution. We do not accept responsibility for any loss or damage.

This guide demonstrates using Inkscape to design a laser-cut ruler mold for injection molding.\n\n\nUser Location: London, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the)\n\n- Visit [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org/) and choose the appropriate version for your operating system.\n- Follow the installation guide provided.\n\n- A reference of intermediary and final files created through this tutorial is attached, allowing you to test or modify them according to your requirements.\n\n- Open Inkscape; a new document will appear.\n- Adjust the document size via File > Document Properties.\n- For this project, we selected A4 (8.27 x 11.69 inches), but you may opt for another size.\n- Save the document in an easily accessible location.\n\n### Vector Ruler Generator\n\nVector Ruler Generator is a free, open-source tool designed for creating rulers for etching or laser cutting into various materials.\n\n- Visit [robbbb.github.io/VectorRuler](https://robbbb.github.io/VectorRuler)\n- Customize your ruler with desired parameters, such as including both centimeters and inches (15 cm or 5.9 in)\n- Save your settings with clear file names for easy identification\n\n1. Go to File > Import and choose the desired file.\n2. A dialog box with details will appear.\n3. Click OK to view the files.\n4. Repeat the process for the other unit of measurement.\n\nTo ensure correct import into the software, we must resize and adjust for laser cutting using Inkscape.\n\n- Create a guide by clicking on the left-hand ruler and dragging to the right.\n- A blue guide will appear. Double-click it, set it to 150 mm (5.91 inches), and press enter.\n- Resize the ruler so the left side aligns with the document and the right side with the guide.\n- Repeat the process for the inch ruler, setting the guide to 6 inches (152.4 mm).\n\nIf you are laser cutting a mold, ensure the text is flipped to read correctly upon injection.\n\n- Select the part to flip.\n- Click the \"Flip selected objects horizontally\" button at the top of the page.\n- Use the \"Rotate selection 90°\" buttons to make further adjustments if needed.\n\n### Tutorial: Creating Plastic Rulers\n\n#### Step 1: Identify Material\nIdentify the type of plastic used to manufacture your rulers. This information is crucial for future recycling purposes to determine the correct processing temperatures.\n\n#### Step 2: Import Symbols\n- Import the necessary symbol following the procedure used for the ruler files.\n- Adjust the import settings provided.\n\n#### Step 3: Set Precision\n- Choose \"rough\" precision to minimize file size while ensuring adequate detail for laser cutting.\n\n#### Step 4: Position the Symbol\n- Align and position the symbol as desired on the ruler.\n\n- Click the Rectangle icon in the left menu to add an outline for the ruler.\n- Draw the rectangle around the rulers and set the desired height and width from the top menu.\n- Adjust the alignment of the rectangles to ensure the rulers remain visible.\n- Select the rectangle and click the \"Lower selection to bottom\" icon at the top of the screen.\n- Repeat the process for the mould's outer border.\n\n### Instructions\n\nYou need to create holes for wing nuts, bolts, or quick-release clamps.\n\n1. Select the circle icon from the left menu.\n2. Draw a circle in the desired location.\n3. Adjust the x and y radius from the top menu.\n4. Select the circle and duplicate it with CTRL + D.\n5. Hold CTRL and move the duplicate to the right for alignment along the x or y axis.\n6. Select both top holes, duplicate them, and position them to form the bottom two holes.\n\n- Select all items using the selection tool or by pressing CTRL + A.\n- Duplicate all objects by pressing CTRL + D.\n- Hold CTRL and move the duplicated objects just below to minimize material waste during laser cutting.\n- Delete the rulers and logo by selecting them and pressing delete.\n\n- Use selection tools to duplicate the entire center mold.\n- Move it downward until the edges touch.\n- Delete the center rectangle and replace it with a circle for the nozzle of the injection machine.\n\n- Save the file as an .svg by selecting File > Save As, and store it in an easily accessible location.\n\n- Import the file into your CAM software to etch the rulers, inner rectangle, and ID code on the bottom plate, and cut out the remaining lines.\n\n- Tap the threads, then proceed to injection mold using the injection machine.\n\n- Refer to the video by Kunststoffschmiede for detailed instructions on using Plexiglas.\n\n- Open source requires sharing the source and files.\n- Upload them to platforms such as GitHub or GitLab.\n- Share your work on our social media.\n\nDarigov Research focuses on

Go to File > Import and choose the desired file.\\n2. A dialog box with details will appear.\\n3. Click OK to view the files.\\n4. Repeat the process for the other unit of measurement.\\n\\nTo ensure correct import into the software, we must resize and adjust for laser cutting using Inkscape.\\n\\n- Create a guide by clicking on the left-hand ruler and dragging to the right.\\n- A blue guide will appear. Double-click it, set it to 150 mm (5.91 inches), and press enter.\\n- Resize the ruler so the left side aligns with the document and the right side with the guide.\\n- Repeat the process for the inch ruler, setting the guide to 6 inches (152.4 mm).\\n\\nIf you are laser cutting a mold, ensure the text is flipped to read correctly upon injection.\\n\\n- Select the part to flip.\\n- Click the \\\"Flip selected objects horizontally\\\" button at the top of the page.\\n- Use the \\\"Rotate selection 90°\\\" buttons to make further adjustments if needed.\\n\\n### Tutorial: Creating Plastic Rulers\\n\\n#### Step 1: Identify Material\\nIdentify the type of plastic used to manufacture your rulers. This information is crucial for future recycling purposes to determine the correct processing temperatures.\\n\\n#### Step 2: Import Symbols\\n- Import the necessary symbol following the procedure used for the ruler files.\\n- Adjust the import settings provided.\\n\\n#### Step 3: Set Precision\\n- Choose \\\"rough\\\" precision to minimize file size while ensuring adequate detail for laser cutting.\\n\\n#### Step 4: Position the Symbol\\n- Align and position the symbol as desired on the ruler.\\n\\n- Click the Rectangle icon in the left menu to add an outline for the ruler.\\n- Draw the rectangle around the rulers and set the desired height and width from the top menu.\\n- Adjust the alignment of the rectangles to ensure the rulers remain visible.\\n- Select the rectangle and click the \\\"Lower selection to bottom\\\" icon at the top of the screen.\\n- Repeat the process for the mould's outer border.\\n\\n### Instructions\\n\\nYou need to create holes for wing nuts, bolts, or quick-release clamps.\\n\\n1.

Here is how ours was built: Download the plans and watch the stages in the accompanying video.\n\n\nUser Location: Houyet, Belgium\n\nIn this video, I demonstrate the production stages of a chicken coop made from plastic sheets. Watching the video will provide a comprehensive overview, making the process easier to follow.\n\nThe files contain henhouse plans in .PDF and .DXF formats for viewing and modification with open-source software like LibreCAD. The wooden structure is designed for panels measuring 39*39*0.4 inches (100*100*1 cm).\n\nCollecting a substantial number of caps can be challenging. Here is my approach:\n\nI collaborate with an organization that gathers caps from schools, stores, and public places and sorts them by color. I pay for this service to save time.\n\nSeek out similar organizations in your area. Often, these groups collect bottle caps and sell them, using the proceeds to support charitable activities such as providing guide dogs for the blind or wheelchairs for the disabled.\n\nFor this project, we required 240 kilograms (approximately 530 pounds) of bottle caps.\n\n### Shredding\n\nI use a V4 pro shredder to process the caps four times until the shred meets my size requirements.\n\n### Washing and Drying\n\nWashing is more effective post-grinding. I place shredded plastic in durable cotton canvas bags, securing them with reusable zip-ties. These are washed in domestic machines equipped with filtration systems to prevent microplastic release and water recovery systems to recycle water efficiently.\n\nSubsequently, I dry the shredded material in tumble dryers to ensure it is completely dry.\n\nBy following the previously explained method, you can produce approximately 6 to 8 sheets per day (2.5 to 3.5 square feet).\n\nThis project requires 24 panels, including 4 yellow ones for the nesting box.\n\nCompletion is achievable after 3 to 4 days of dedicated work.\n\n### Construction Guide for Wooden Structure\n\nBuild the wooden structure according to the provided plans.\n\nAdapt the design to suit your location and materials.\n\nWe used Trespa panels, available from excess stock, for the floor and ceiling. Alternatively, consider using plastic panels.\n\nThe roof is insulated and covered with corrugated iron sheets.\n\nPlans include a separate storage area accessed from outside the main enclosure.\n\n### Wall Cladding for Your Chicken Coop\n\nExercise caution when cutting panels; ensure the workspace permits the collection of any resulting plastic dust. Pre-drill holes to attach the panels to the wooden structure, and gather any plastic waste during this process.\n\nWe did not allow space between the panels, leading to bulging in high heat. To prevent this, leave 0.2 in-0.4 in (0.5 cm-1 cm) between panels. Plan for seasonal temperature variations when constructing your henhouse, as they can affect panel expansion.\n\nThe doors and windows consist of a steel structure that we painted ourselves. Initially, we used putty to attach the panels to the steel frame, but it proved ineffective. Consequently, we switched to a mechanical fastening solution. We also installed metal mesh on the windows to prevent martens and rats from entering.\n\nBuild your nests by following the plans and adjusting them as needed. Feel free to choose any color you prefer.\n\nIf not yet completed, install the interior perch and the automatic door for the chickens (we used an Omlet brand door acquired second-hand). Adjust according to available materials.\n\nHost a remarkable gathering with friends.

Here is how ours was built: Download the plans and watch the stages in the accompanying video.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Houyet, Belgium\\n\\nIn this video, I demonstrate the production stages of a chicken coop made from plastic sheets. Watching the video will provide a comprehensive overview, making the process easier to follow.\\n\\nThe files contain henhouse plans in .PDF and .DXF formats for viewing and modification with open-source software like LibreCAD. The wooden structure is designed for panels measuring 39*39*0.4 inches (100*100*1 cm).\\n\\nCollecting a substantial number of caps can be challenging. Here is my approach:\\n\\nI collaborate with an organization that gathers caps from schools, stores, and public places and sorts them by color. I pay for this service to save time.\\n\\nSeek out similar organizations in your area. Often, these groups collect bottle caps and sell them, using the proceeds to support charitable activities such as providing guide dogs for the blind or wheelchairs for the disabled.\\n\\nFor this project, we required 240 kilograms (approximately 530 pounds) of bottle caps.\\n\\n### Shredding\\n\\nI use a V4 pro shredder to process the caps four times until the shred meets my size requirements.\\n\\n### Washing and Drying\\n\\nWashing is more effective post-grinding. I place shredded plastic in durable cotton canvas bags, securing them with reusable zip-ties. These are washed in domestic machines equipped with filtration systems to prevent microplastic release and water recovery systems to recycle water efficiently.\\n\\nSubsequently, I dry the shredded material in tumble dryers to ensure it is completely dry.\\n\\nBy following the previously explained method, you can produce approximately 6 to 8 sheets per day (2.5 to 3.5 square feet).\\n\\nThis project requires 24 panels, including 4 yellow ones for the nesting box.\\n\\nCompletion is achievable after 3 to 4 days of dedicated work.\\n\\n### Construction Guide for Wooden Structure\\n\\nBuild the wooden structure according to the provided plans.\\n\\nAdapt the design to suit your location and materials.\\n\\nWe used Trespa panels, available from excess stock, for the floor and ceiling. Alternatively, consider using plastic panels.\\n\\nThe roof is insulated and covered with corrugated iron sheets.\\n\\nPlans include a separate storage area accessed from outside the main enclosure.\\n\\n### Wall Cladding for Your Chicken Coop\\n\\nExercise caution when cutting panels; ensure the workspace permits the collection of any resulting plastic dust. Pre-drill holes to attach the panels to the wooden structure, and gather any plastic waste during this process.\\n\\nWe did not allow space between the panels, leading to bulging in high heat. To prevent this, leave 0.2 in-0.4 in (0.5 cm-1 cm) between panels. Plan for seasonal temperature variations when constructing your henhouse, as they can affect panel expansion.\\n\\nThe doors and windows consist of a steel structure that we painted ourselves. Initially, we used putty to attach the panels to the steel frame, but it proved ineffective. Consequently, we switched to a mechanical fastening solution. We also installed metal mesh on the windows to prevent martens and rats from entering.\\n\\nBuild your nests by following the plans and adjusting them as needed. Feel free to choose any color you prefer.\\n\\nIf not yet completed, install the interior perch and the automatic door for the chickens (we used an Omlet brand door acquired second-hand). Adjust according to available materials.\\n\\nHost a remarkable gathering with friends. If you construct a similar chicken coop, please share your photos.\",\n \"keywords\": \"recycled plastic chicken coop, easy cleaning poultry coop, parasite resistant coop, chicken coop building plans, plastic sheet henhouse, bottle cap plastic recycling, DIY poultry housing, eco-friendly chicken coop, Trespa panels chicken coop, insulated chicken coop roof\",\n \"resources\": \"### Software\\n\\n- [LibreCAD](https://librecad.org/) for viewing/modifying .DXF plans\\n\\n### Shredding Equipment\\n\\n- V4 Pro shredder (multiple passes for size reduction)\\n\\n### Washing & Drying Tools\\n\\n- Industrial washing machines with microplastic filtration\\n- Water recovery systems for closed-loop cycles\\n- Tumble dryers\\n\\n### Construction Hardware\\n\\n- Trespa panels ([official site](https://www.trespa.com)) or plastic sheets for surfaces\\n- Corrugated iron sheets for roofing\\n- Steel frames for doors/windows\\n\\n### Safety & Assembly\\n\\n- Dust collection system for plastic cutting\\n- Power drill/driver for panel attachment\\n- Mechanical fasteners (replaces ineffective putty)\\n- Metal mesh for pest-proof window covers\\n- [Omlet automatic chicken door](https://www.omlet.com) (used model)\\n\\nKey quantities: 240kg bottle caps, 24 panels (4 colored), 3-4 day build time.\",\n \"references\": \"## Articles\\n\\n- [Recycled Plastic Chicken Coop - The Hampton](https://eartheasy.com/recycled-plastic-chicken-coop-the-hampton/)\\n- [Nestera Chicken Coops | Plastic Chicken Houses For Sale](https://www.pipinchicksilkies.com/chicken-coops-runs/nestera-recycled-plastic-poultry-houses/)\\n- [Best Plastic Chicken Coops (2025)](https://www.chickenfans.com/best-plastic-chicken-coops/)\\n- [Building a Coop with Recycled Materials](https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/building-a-coop-with-recycled-materials-an-environmentally-friendly-approach-to-poultry-keeping.78370/)\\n- [Recycled Plastic Chicken Houses](https://arkus.co.uk/recycled-plastic-chicken-houses/)\\n- [Nestera Plastic Chicken Houses](https://thechickenhousecompany.co.uk/collections/nestera-plastic-chicken-houses)\\n- [Plastic Chicken Coops for Sale](https://www.donedeal.ie/poultry-for-sale/plastic-chicken-coops/27205457)\\n- [7 Chicken Coop Ideas: Protective & Cheap Projects](https://diyprojects.ideas2live4.com/2016/07/21/alternative-chicken-coop-ideas/)\\n\\n## YouTube\\n\\n- [How to Build the Small Ground Coop](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SkgNLIVGsA)\\n- [Mid-Century Modern Chicken Coop Build](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_goHTrihfo)\\n- [Arkus Recycled Plastic Chicken Coop Review](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4aB6TIj4v0)\\n\\n## Opensource Designs\\n\\n- Build Chicken Coop from Bottle Caps\"\n }\n}","d410cac2d49ee7f6","create-a-perforated-board",{"id":13804,"data":13806,"filePath":13804,"digest":13977},{"slug":13804,"id":13804,"title":13807,"type":407,"components":13808,"item":13809,"config":13976},"Create a Perforated Board",[],{"mentions":13810,"difficulty_level":425,"title":13807,"previousSlugs":13811,"total_views":13812,"_createdBy":13813,"comments":13814,"creatorCountry":13821,"_modified":13822,"id":13823,"_id":13823,"cover_image":13824,"slug":13804,"category":13831,"time":2714,"moderation":536,"total_downloads":422,"steps":13832,"_deleted":412,"_created":13899,"votedUsefulBy":13900,"fileLink":19,"files":13902,"_contentModifiedTimestamp":13903,"description":13904,"tags":13905,"user":13906,"content":13972,"keywords":13973,"resources":13974,"references":13975},[],[13804],446,"fumi",[13815],{"creatorCountry":2908,"_created":13816,"text":13817,"_edited":13818,"creatorName":13819,"_id":13820,"_creatorId":13819},"2023-06-08T06:54:59.673Z","Thanks","2023-06-08T06:55:26.768Z","andy510","gr4ajwpKkPgG8PvDAZc6","jp","2023-12-11T15:37:12.381Z","Qtjil04WM51fOachuNkN",{"name":13825,"timeCreated":13826,"updated":13826,"contentType":1299,"size":13827,"type":1299,"downloadUrl":13828,"fullPath":13829,"src":13830},"pegboard-1839e6fcddf.png","2022-10-03T15:28:49.137Z",467647,"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2FQtjil04WM51fOachuNkN%2Fpegboard-1839e6fcddf.png?alt=media&token=4fe5e91d-7c4c-4bc8-9b75-1e7fdfa7e589","uploads/howtos/Qtjil04WM51fOachuNkN/pegboard-1839e6fcddf.png","C:\\Users\\zx\\Desktop\\osr\\osr-machines\\howtos\\create-a-perforated-board\\pegboard-1839e6fcddf.png",{"_created":1585,"_modified":1585,"_deleted":412,"label":1584,"_id":1586},[13833,13851,13869,13887],{"text":13834,"title":13835,"_animationKey":458,"images":13836},"### Materials\n- **Heat Press Machine:** A commercially available heat press machine for iron-on printing with a 350x350 mm (13.78x13.78 in) heat surface.\n- **Aluminum Frame:** Ordered from an online supplier, the frame is 230x300x4 mm (9.06x11.81x0.16 in) with a 5 mm (0.2 in) corner radius.

Apply silicone spray thoroughly to the aluminum frame. Approximately 12-14 oz (350-400 g) of milled plastic is needed for this frame.\n\nClose the heat press and set it to 356°F (180°C) for 30-40 minutes.

The finished bench will weigh over 80 pounds (approximately 36 kilograms).\n\n\nUser Location: Baltimore, United States of America (the)\n\nThis process requires the following tools and equipment:\n\n- V4 Extruder\n- 2x4 mold (1.5 in x 3.5 in x 6 ft)\n- Approximately 85 lbs (38.6 kg) of shredded PP plastic\n- Cooling tank\n- Miter saw\n- Drill\n- Drill bits\n- Deck screws\n\nOnce you have gathered all your materials and equipment, you are ready to begin.\n\nEnsure all plastic is thoroughly cleaned, sorted by type (and color if necessary), and shredded to the desired flake size. For our bench, we used PP (#5) plastic.\n\nWith the plastic prepared, it is ready for extrusion into beams. Set the extruder temperature to 240°C (464°F) for PP plastic. Attach the mold. Begin extruding at 45-50 RPM, ensuring the hopper remains filled. Once the 6-foot (1.83-meter) mold is filled, disconnect it and place it in a cooling tank with cold water for approximately 20 minutes. After the plastic solidifies, remove it from the mold. Repeat until you have eight 6-foot beams.\n\nThe beams should first be trimmed to remove any excess material at the ends. Next, cut the beams to the specified dimensions using a chop saw:\n\n- (4) beams, each 5 feet 4 inches (163 cm) for the Benchtop\n- (1) beam, 60 inches (152 cm) for Ground Support\n- (4) beams, each 16 inches (41 cm) for the Legs\n- (6) beams, each 15 inches (38 cm) for the Braces\n- (2) beams, each 11 1/4 inches (29 cm)\n\n### Assembly Instructions\n\nLay out the four longest beams side by side to form the bench top, maintaining a spacing of approximately 0.25 inches (6.35 mm) between each. Attach the braces at the ends of the bench top.\n\nAt this stage, attach the beams using 2.5-inch (6.35 cm) deck screws. Pre-drill pilot holes to prevent cracking.\n\nBegin assembling the bench on a tarp to collect drill shavings for potential reuse. Position the 16-inch (40.64 cm) beams at each corner as legs. Drill pilot holes and secure with screws.\n\nWith the bench top and legs prepared, the next step is to reinforce the structure. Position the 15-inch (38 cm) beams between the legs as braces. Next, use the 11 1/4 inch (28.5 cm) beams to install a perpendicular support, connecting the bench top to the 60-inch (152 cm) beam that spans the base.\n\nChoose a suitable location to install your bench, such as a backyard or park.","bench building, extruded beams, DIY furniture, PP plastic, woodworking tools, assembly instructions, bench construction, V4 extruder, Baltimore DIY, homemade bench","To build a bench using 2x4 extruded beams, you’ll need the following items grouped by category:\n\n### Tools & Equipment\n\n- V4 Extruder\n- 2x4 mold (1.5 in x 3.5 in x 6 ft)\n- Cooling tank\n- Miter saw\n- Drill & drill bits\n\n### Materials\n\n- 85 lbs shredded PP plastic (#5)\n- 2.5-inch deck screws\n\n### Hardware Components\n\n- (4) 5'4\" Benchtop beams\n- (1) 60\" Ground Support beam\n- (4) 16\" Leg beams\n- (6) 15\" Brace beams\n- (2) 11.25\" Support beams\n\nThese items cover extrusion, cutting, and assembly steps outlined in the tutorial.

The finished bench will weigh over 80 pounds (approximately 36 kilograms).\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Baltimore, United States of America (the)\\n\\nThis process requires the following tools and equipment:\\n\\n- V4 Extruder\\n- 2x4 mold (1.5 in x 3.5 in x 6 ft)\\n- Approximately 85 lbs (38.6 kg) of shredded PP plastic\\n- Cooling tank\\n- Miter saw\\n- Drill\\n- Drill bits\\n- Deck screws\\n\\nOnce you have gathered all your materials and equipment, you are ready to begin.\\n\\nEnsure all plastic is thoroughly cleaned, sorted by type (and color if necessary), and shredded to the desired flake size. For our bench, we used PP (#5) plastic.\\n\\nWith the plastic prepared, it is ready for extrusion into beams. Set the extruder temperature to 240°C (464°F) for PP plastic. Attach the mold. Begin extruding at 45-50 RPM, ensuring the hopper remains filled. Once the 6-foot (1.83-meter) mold is filled, disconnect it and place it in a cooling tank with cold water for approximately 20 minutes. After the plastic solidifies, remove it from the mold. Repeat until you have eight 6-foot beams.\\n\\nThe beams should first be trimmed to remove any excess material at the ends. Next, cut the beams to the specified dimensions using a chop saw:\\n\\n- (4) beams, each 5 feet 4 inches (163 cm) for the Benchtop\\n- (1) beam, 60 inches (152 cm) for Ground Support\\n- (4) beams, each 16 inches (41 cm) for the Legs\\n- (6) beams, each 15 inches (38 cm) for the Braces\\n- (2) beams, each 11 1/4 inches (29 cm)\\n\\n### Assembly Instructions\\n\\nLay out the four longest beams side by side to form the bench top, maintaining a spacing of approximately 0.25 inches (6.35 mm) between each. Attach the braces at the ends of the bench top.\\n\\nAt this stage, attach the beams using 2.5-inch (6.35 cm) deck screws. Pre-drill pilot holes to prevent cracking.\\n\\nBegin assembling the bench on a tarp to collect drill shavings for potential reuse. Position the 16-inch (40.64 cm) beams at each corner as legs. Drill pilot holes and secure with screws.\\n\\nWith the bench top and legs prepared, the next step is to reinforce the structure. Position the 15-inch (38 cm) beams between the legs as braces. Next, use the 11 1/4 inch (28.5 cm) beams to install a perpendicular support, connecting the bench top to the 60-inch (152 cm) beam that spans the base.\\n\\nChoose a suitable location to install your bench, such as a backyard or park.\",\n \"keywords\": \"bench building, extruded beams, DIY furniture, PP plastic, woodworking tools, assembly instructions, bench construction, V4 extruder, Baltimore DIY, homemade bench\",\n \"resources\": \"To build a bench using 2x4 extruded beams, you’ll need the following items grouped by category:\\n\\n### Tools & Equipment\\n\\n- V4 Extruder\\n- 2x4 mold (1.5 in x 3.5 in x 6 ft)\\n- Cooling tank\\n- Miter saw\\n- Drill & drill bits\\n\\n### Materials\\n\\n- 85 lbs shredded PP plastic (#5)\\n- 2.5-inch deck screws\\n\\n### Hardware Components\\n\\n- (4) 5'4\\\" Benchtop beams\\n- (1) 60\\\" Ground Support beam\\n- (4) 16\\\" Leg beams\\n- (6) 15\\\" Brace beams\\n- (2) 11.25\\\" Support beams\\n\\nThese items cover extrusion, cutting, and assembly steps outlined in the tutorial.

lasercut, CNC milled, or handmade plates to incorporate interchangeable text or patterns into injection mold products, including the addition of plastic types or logos.\n\n\nUser Location: Leuven, Belgium\n\nWe are extending an existing mold, specifically a hexagon tile mold. It consists of a three-part flat mold fastened with bolts. Outer dimensions are 15 cm x 15 cm (approx. 6 in x 6 in). The top and bottom plates are 10 mm (approx. 0.4 in) thick, and the center part with the hexagon cutout is 4 mm (approx. 0.16 in) thick.\n\nWe will explain the processes of laser cutting and CNC milling. To access these devices, you might inquire at local facilities such as a Fablab or makerspace, or educational institutions.\n\nFor laser cut add-ons, we use 4 mm (approx. 0.16 in) acrylic plates sized 15 cm x 15 cm (approx. 6 in x 6 in). For CNC machining, we use 3 mm (approx. 0.12 in) aluminum plates also sized 15 cm x 15 cm.\n\nCertainly.\n\n---\n\nWe utilized software to design various patterns. Ensure the text is mirrored when creating a negative. The export format may vary based on your chosen technique.\n\nAdditional information, such as plastic type and production details, can be included as needed.\n\nLaser cutting allows for unlimited shapes, though finer details are more challenging. Our experience shows HDPE injection can handle details as small as 0.08-0.12 inches (2-3 mm).\n\nFor CNC milling, the detail is limited by the router bit diameter, which rounds corners. Verify the specifications of your machine. We used a 0.04-inch (1 mm) CNC router bit.\n\nA 2D file suffices for laser cutting, with PNG and AI formats commonly accepted by various software programs.\n\nFor CNC milling, a 3D file is necessary. Software such as Fusion 360 can convert vector files into 3D shapes.\n\nIn our example, the cutting depth is set to 1.5 millimeters (0.059 inches).\n\n### Laser Cutter Settings for Acrylic Moulds\n\nThe settings for your cutter will vary based on the type of machine. It is advisable to perform test cuts and adjust the laser's speed and intensity accordingly. \n\nThough acrylic can be safely cut, it does emit an odor; therefore, dust extraction is recommended. \n\nEnsure the pattern is not fully cut through the acrylic plate to preserve the mould's durability, except for certain shapes where this might be acceptable.\n\nEnsure edges are fully cut to avoid the necessity of manual drilling and cutting later. You can assign different settings to cutting lines to achieve multiple depths in one mould.\n\nProcess the file with the software, secure the material, and begin milling.\n\nConduct speed tests beforehand.\n\nInsert the texture plate into the mold and begin injecting. \n\nFor optimal results, cool the mold rapidly.","laser cutting, CNC milling, interchangeable plates, injection mold

handmade plates to incorporate interchangeable text or patterns into injection mold products, including the addition of plastic types or logos.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Leuven, Belgium\\n\\nWe are extending an existing mold, specifically a hexagon tile mold. It consists of a three-part flat mold fastened with bolts. Outer dimensions are 15 cm x 15 cm (approx. 6 in x 6 in). The top and bottom plates are 10 mm (approx. 0.4 in) thick, and the center part with the hexagon cutout is 4 mm (approx. 0.16 in) thick.\\n\\nWe will explain the processes of laser cutting and CNC milling. To access these devices, you might inquire at local facilities such as a Fablab or makerspace, or educational institutions.\\n\\nFor laser cut add-ons, we use 4 mm (approx. 0.16 in) acrylic plates sized 15 cm x 15 cm (approx. 6 in x 6 in). For CNC machining, we use 3 mm (approx. 0.12 in) aluminum plates also sized 15 cm x 15 cm.\\n\\nCertainly.\\n\\n---\\n\\nWe utilized software to design various patterns. Ensure the text is mirrored when creating a negative. The export format may vary based on your chosen technique.\\n\\nAdditional information, such as plastic type and production details, can be included as needed.\\n\\nLaser cutting allows for unlimited shapes, though finer details are more challenging. Our experience shows HDPE injection can handle details as small as 0.08-0.12 inches (2-3 mm).\\n\\nFor CNC milling, the detail is limited by the router bit diameter, which rounds corners. Verify the specifications of your machine. We used a 0.04-inch (1 mm) CNC router bit.\\n\\nA 2D file suffices for laser cutting, with PNG and AI formats commonly accepted by various software programs.\\n\\nFor CNC milling, a 3D file is necessary. Software such as Fusion 360 can convert vector files into 3D shapes.\\n\\nIn our example, the cutting depth is set to 1.5 millimeters (0.059 inches).\\n\\n### Laser Cutter Settings for Acrylic Moulds\\n\\nThe settings for your cutter will vary based on the type of machine. It is advisable to perform test cuts and adjust the laser's speed and intensity accordingly. \\n\\nThough acrylic can be safely cut, it does emit an odor; therefore, dust extraction is recommended. \\n\\nEnsure the pattern is not fully cut through the acrylic plate to preserve the mould's durability, except for certain shapes where this might be acceptable.\\n\\nEnsure edges are fully cut to avoid the necessity of manual drilling and cutting later. You can assign different settings to cutting lines to achieve multiple depths in one mould.\\n\\nProcess the file with the software, secure the material, and begin milling.\\n\\nConduct speed tests beforehand.\\n\\nInsert the texture plate into the mold and begin injecting. \\n\\nFor optimal results, cool the mold rapidly.\",\n \"keywords\": \"laser cutting, CNC milling, interchangeable plates, injection mold products, hexagon tile mold, acrylic plates, aluminum plates, HDPE injection, 3D file requirements, Fusion 360\",\n \"resources\": \"### Tools & Equipment\\n\\n- [Laser Cutter](https://www.fablab-leuven.be/) (e.g., Fab Lab Leuven)\\n- [CNC Milling Machine](https://www.kuleuven.be/english) (e.g., KU Leuven workshops)\\n- Injection molding machine\\n- 4 mm acrylic plates (15 cm x 15 cm)\\n- 3 mm aluminum plates (15 cm x 15 cm)\\n\\n### Software\\n\\n- [Autodesk Fusion 360](https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/) (3D modeling for CNC)\\n- [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator.html) (vector design for laser cutting)\\n- Laser cutter control software (e.g., RDWorks or machine-specific)\\n- CNC machine control software (e.g., Mach3, GRBL)\\n\\n### Materials\\n\\n- HDPE plastic pellets (for injection molding)\\n- Acrylic sheets (4 mm thickness)\\n- Aluminum sheets (3 mm thickness)\\n- Cooling system (water or air-based for rapid mold cooling)\\n- Bolts (for mold assembly)\\n\\n### Design Files\\n\\n- 2D vector files (PNG/AI formats for laser cutting)[1][5]\\n- 3D CAD files (for CNC milling)[5][6]\\n- Mirrored text/patterns (negative design)[3]\\n- Cutting depth specification (1.5 mm for CNC)[6]\\n- Multi-depth laser engraving settings[5]\\n\\n### Safety & Maintenance\\n\\n- ~~[Dust extraction system](https://www.fablab-leuven.be/facilities)~~ (for laser cutting acrylic)[4]\\n- Test cuts (calibration for laser/CNC settings)[4][6]\\n- CNC Router bit verification (≥1 mm diameter for CNC)[6]\\n- Material clamping tools (vice or vacuum table)\\n- Protective gear (goggles, gloves during injection)[4]\\n\\nLocal fabrication options in Leuven include Fab Lab Leuven for laser cutting/CNC access and KU Leuven’s engineering workshops[2].\",\n \"references\": \"## Articles\\n\\n- [Everything You Need to Know About CNC Machining for Injection Mold Making](https://www.mastercam.com/news/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-cnc-machining-for-injection-mold-making/)\\n- [Intro to Plastic Injection Mold Making](https://www.paulsonmfg.com/blog/intro-to-plastic-injection-mold-making/)\\n- [A Beginner's Guide to Injection Molding](https://www.protolabs.com/resources/guides-and-trend-reports/designing-for-moldability-fundamental-elements/)\\n\\n## Books\\n\\n- *Runner and Gating Design Handbook Second Edition: Tools for Successful Injection Molding* (John Beaumont): [Link](https://www.beaumontinc.com/about/books-by-beaumont/)\\n- *Successful Injection Molding: Process, Design, and Simulation* (John Beaumont): [Link](https://www.beaumontinc.com/about/books-by-beaumont/)\\n\\n## Papers\\n\\n- [Effect of Femtosecond-Laser-Structured Injection Molding Tool on Mechanical Properties](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8272158/)\\n- ~~[Enhancement of Low-Power CO₂ Laser Cutting for Injection-Molded Polycarbonate](https://pure.northampton.ac.uk/files/37975388/Moradi_et_OLT_2017_Enhancement_of_low_power_CO2_laser_cutting_process_for_injection_molded_polycarbonate.pdf)~~\\n\\n## YouTube\\n\\n- [Laser Model Making Basics Tutorial Guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17Pg3QJk00o)\\n\\n## Open-Source Designs\\n\\n- [Step-by-Step Laser-Cut Molds for Thermoforming (Instructables)](https://www.instructables.com/Laser-Cut-Forms-for-Thermoforming-Vacuum-Forming/)\\n- [Fab Academy Week 13 Assignment: Mold Fabrication](https://fabacademy.org/2024/labs/chaihuo/students/matthew-yu/docs/week13_assignment)\\n- [Soft Robotics Toolkit: Laser-Cutting Mold Parts](https://softroboticstoolkit.com/laser-cut-molds/mold-fabrication/laser-cutting)\\n\\n## Manufacturer Guides\\n\\n- [Plastic Injection Mold Making (CS Tool Engineering)](https://www.cste.com/services/plastic-injection-mold-making)\\n- [Injection Molding vs CNC Machining (3ERP)](https://www.3erp.com/blog/injection-molding-vs-cnc-machining/)\"\n }\n}","cfcf3423e729762f","stamp-products-fast-without-heating",{"id":14404,"data":14406,"filePath":14404,"digest":14587},{"slug":14404,"id":14404,"title":14407,"type":407,"components":14408,"item":14409,"config":14586},"Stamp products fast.

Let me demonstrate the stamping process.\\n\\nCreate a design for your stamp and mill it in metal. Brass is a suitable choice, but other metals may also be used. Ensure your design is mirrored.\\n\\nFor pressing, an arbor press is recommended due to its efficiency and ease of use. Position the product under the press, apply pressure, and remove it. This process can be done quickly.\\n\\nConsistency is important. Using a mold ensures our product is stamped in the same location and remains stable when force is applied.

This specific adaptation draws inspiration from the Precious Plastic Shredder tailored for bicycle use.\n\nFor further inquiries about this adaptation, please contact @jam_goreing on Instagram.\n\nAdditionally, you can view the 3-minute project video [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoSn84Axao8).\n\nThe basic design and instructions for the shredder are available on the instruction pages.\n\nReduce the number of shredder blades to approximately nine for a lighter design suitable for mounting on a bicycle. Additional blades may be added if necessary. Scale down the housing depth to match the reduced number of blades. For the housing, use aluminum or steel, ensuring that blades and spacers remain steel. Note that an aluminum housing must be bolted instead of welded.\n\nThe housing must be extended downward approximately 2 inches (50 mm) to accommodate a collection tray below the shredder blades. This space in the middle for the collection tray is shown in the images. The collection tray is constructed from clear acrylic that interlocks.\n\nThe shredder requires a sturdy base to accommodate its weight and the force exerted during shredding when attached to a bicycle. A standard bicycle rear rack typically suffices. The rack can be mounted on the bike and modified to secure the shredder.\n\nIn my experiment, I was unsure which bicycle I would use since I intended to rent one upon reaching Chile for the project. Therefore, I designed a versatile support frame compatible with various bicycles.\n\nFor installation, the shredder was placed on an aluminum support base with three steel rods bolted to it, connecting it to the bike. The central rod attached to the seat post via a secondary seat collar. The two side rods connected to the seat stay, each ending with a 0.02-inch (0.5mm) thick steel plate that could be manually wrapped around the frame. An old inner tube served as a rubber lining to secure the support frame and prevent slipping.\n\nThe hopper is constructed from clear acrylic, including the shredded plastic collection tray beneath the blades. It must be securely bolted to the top of the shredder housing. An aluminum casing frame can be added around the hopper for aesthetic purposes, with optional rear storage for collected plastic prior to shredding. Alternative designs are possible without impacting the shredding function or hopper stability.\n\nA used bicycle square taper bottom bracket, along with the crank and crank bolt, is required to attach the gear to the shredder. First, use an angle grinder to cut off the steel square tapered end of the bottom bracket.\n\nA sealed ball bearing is necessary for the blades to spin on the axle. The bearing should accommodate the thickest part of the taper. In my case, the square taper had a maximum diameter of 0.63 inches (16 mm), so a sealed ball bearing with an inner diameter of 0.67 inches (17 mm) was used.\n\nThe axle for the blades follows a specific design, featuring a hexagonal shape that is machined to be round at each end. The ends must match the inner diameter of the ball bearing to ensure a tight fit. \n\nThe tip of the rounded axle, specifically the last 0.2 inches (5 mm), is further machined to match the diameter of the crank bolt thread. Since the square taper is already threaded through its center, the axle, once reduced to the appropriate thickness, aligns accurately with the square taper for welding.\n\nNext, weld the cut-off square taper to the axle. Once welded, machine it on a lathe to fit back through the ball bearing. Attach the gear securely using the crank bolt.\n\nUse an angle grinder to cut off the crank arm. Shape it with the grinder to achieve a smooth, formed finish.\n\n### Ball Bearing Housing Instructions\n\nCreate a housing from layered laser-cut aluminum or steel to securely hold the ball bearing and axle. The total thickness of the layers should match the ball bearing's thickness, with a hole matching the bearing's outer diameter. Use an end cap with a diameter between the inner and outer bearing diameters to prevent sliding. Design any shape that attaches to the shredder housing and secures the bearing. \n\nUse 1.5 mm (0.06 inches) internal spacers if needed to prevent movement.\n\nAfter assembling the shredder, securely connect the axle and gear. Once the shredder is bolted to the support frame, proceed with installing the chain and gearing.\n\nThe chain connected to the shredder is crucial for operation, necessitating correct gearing and tight installation. A quick-release chain facilitates easy adjustment and proper length setting before securing it around the gears.\n\nI opted not to use a derailleur to maintain chain tension. Instead, I adjusted the support frame by raising the seatpost attached to the shredder support base, effectively tightening the chain by elevating the shredder.\n\nI used a 4.6:1 gearing ratio, meaning 4.6 pedal revolutions equate to one shredder revolution, to decrease the shredder's speed while increasing torque. I attached the chain connected to the pedal on the largest gear of the cassette and the chain to the shredder on the smallest gear, which functioned effectively.\n\nAfter installing the shredder and attaching the chain, use pedal power to shred plastic. HDPE plastic, being softer, is easier to shred manually. The shredded material can be repurposed into items like flat cladding panels.","bicycle shredder, cycling shredder, plastic shredder bike, Precious Plastic Shredder, bike-mounted shredder, DIY shredder, eco-friendly cycling, plastic recycling, bicycle recycling project, HDPE plastic shredder","### Tools\n\n- Angle grinder (cutting crank, shaping parts)\n- Welding equipment (axle-taper connection)\n- Lathe (axle machining)\n- Laser cutter (bearing housing fabrication)\n- Drill (bolting components)\n\n### Hardware\n\n- Aluminum/steel shredder housing\n- Steel shredder blades (9 reduced) + spacers\n- Bicycle rear rack (base mounting)\n- Sealed ball bearing (17mm inner diameter)\n- Square taper bottom bracket + crank/bolt\n\n### Materials\n\n- Clear acrylic sheets (hopper/collection tray)\n- Steel/aluminum rods/plates (support frame)\n- Steel crank bolt (axle mounting)\n- Rubber lining (old inner tube for grip)\n- Chain + gears (4.6:1 ratio drive system)\n\n### Additional Resources\n\n- [Project Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoSn84Axao8)\n- Contact @jam_goreing (Instagram)\n- Precious Plastic Shredder design (base inspiration)\n- Laser-cut housing templates (thickness-matched layers)\n- Bearing/axle specs (hexagonal-to-round machining guide)","## References\n\n### YouTube\n\n- [Make a bike powered plastic shredder #preciousplastic - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxz3nAcZquY) [1]\n- [Precious Plastic - Setup a plastic sheetpress workspace (part 7.4)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNG2f_hKc_A) [5]\n\n### Books\n\n- [Do-It-Yourself: Setting Up Your Precious Plastic Workspace - Book](https://www.plastic.org.au/products/book-diy-pp-workspace) [2]\n- [Computer Vision by Edward Betts](https://edwardbetts.com/monograph/computer_vision) [3]\n- [The Official Raspberry Pi Projects Book Vol 3, 2017](https://archive.org/stream/RaspberryPiProjectsBookV3/Projects_Book_v3_djvu.txt) [12]\n\n### Papers\n\n- [Computer Science Education (PDF)](https://files.znu.edu.ua/files/Bibliobooks/Inshi78/0058692.pdf) [6]\n\n### Open-Source Designs\n\n- Make the 'Plástico Fantástico' Recycling Bicycle Shredder [4]\n- Upgraded Shredder Box Kit (New Version 3.3) [9]\n- Build a bicycle powered shredder!

This specific adaptation draws inspiration from the Precious Plastic Shredder tailored for bicycle use.\\n\\nFor further inquiries about this adaptation, please contact @jam_goreing on Instagram.\\n\\nAdditionally, you can view the 3-minute project video [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoSn84Axao8).\\n\\nThe basic design and instructions for the shredder are available on the instruction pages.\\n\\nReduce the number of shredder blades to approximately nine for a lighter design suitable for mounting on a bicycle. Additional blades may be added if necessary. Scale down the housing depth to match the reduced number of blades. For the housing, use aluminum or steel, ensuring that blades and spacers remain steel. Note that an aluminum housing must be bolted instead of welded.\\n\\nThe housing must be extended downward approximately 2 inches (50 mm) to accommodate a collection tray below the shredder blades. This space in the middle for the collection tray is shown in the images. The collection tray is constructed from clear acrylic that interlocks.\\n\\nThe shredder requires a sturdy base to accommodate its weight and the force exerted during shredding when attached to a bicycle. A standard bicycle rear rack typically suffices. The rack can be mounted on the bike and modified to secure the shredder.\\n\\nIn my experiment, I was unsure which bicycle I would use since I intended to rent one upon reaching Chile for the project. Therefore, I designed a versatile support frame compatible with various bicycles.\\n\\nFor installation, the shredder was placed on an aluminum support base with three steel rods bolted to it, connecting it to the bike. The central rod attached to the seat post via a secondary seat collar. The two side rods connected to the seat stay, each ending with a 0.02-inch (0.5mm) thick steel plate that could be manually wrapped around the frame. An old inner tube served as a rubber lining to secure the support frame and prevent slipping.\\n\\nThe hopper is constructed from clear acrylic, including the shredded plastic collection tray beneath the blades. It must be securely bolted to the top of the shredder housing. An aluminum casing frame can be added around the hopper for aesthetic purposes, with optional rear storage for collected plastic prior to shredding. Alternative designs are possible without impacting the shredding function or hopper stability.\\n\\nA used bicycle square taper bottom bracket, along with the crank and crank bolt, is required to attach the gear to the shredder. First, use an angle grinder to cut off the steel square tapered end of the bottom bracket.\\n\\nA sealed ball bearing is necessary for the blades to spin on the axle. The bearing should accommodate the thickest part of the taper. In my case, the square taper had a maximum diameter of 0.63 inches (16 mm), so a sealed ball bearing with an inner diameter of 0.67 inches (17 mm) was used.\\n\\nThe axle for the blades follows a specific design, featuring a hexagonal shape that is machined to be round at each end. The ends must match the inner diameter of the ball bearing to ensure a tight fit. \\n\\nThe tip of the rounded axle, specifically the last 0.2 inches (5 mm), is further machined to match the diameter of the crank bolt thread. Since the square taper is already threaded through its center, the axle, once reduced to the appropriate thickness, aligns accurately with the square taper for welding.\\n\\nNext, weld the cut-off square taper to the axle. Once welded, machine it on a lathe to fit back through the ball bearing. Attach the gear securely using the crank bolt.\\n\\nUse an angle grinder to cut off the crank arm. Shape it with the grinder to achieve a smooth, formed finish.\\n\\n### Ball Bearing Housing Instructions\\n\\nCreate a housing from layered laser-cut aluminum or steel to securely hold the ball bearing and axle. The total thickness of the layers should match the ball bearing's thickness, with a hole matching the bearing's outer diameter. Use an end cap with a diameter between the inner and outer bearing diameters to prevent sliding. Design any shape that attaches to the shredder housing and secures the bearing. \\n\\nUse 1.5 mm (0.06 inches) internal spacers if needed to prevent movement.\\n\\nAfter assembling the shredder, securely connect the axle and gear. Once the shredder is bolted to the support frame, proceed with installing the chain and gearing.\\n\\nThe chain connected to the shredder is crucial for operation, necessitating correct gearing and tight installation. A quick-release chain facilitates easy adjustment and proper length setting before securing it around the gears.\\n\\nI opted not to use a derailleur to maintain chain tension. Instead, I adjusted the support frame by raising the seatpost attached to the shredder support base, effectively tightening the chain by elevating the shredder.\\n\\nI used a 4.6:1 gearing ratio, meaning 4.6 pedal revolutions equate to one shredder revolution, to decrease the shredder's speed while increasing torque. I attached the chain connected to the pedal on the largest gear of the cassette and the chain to the shredder on the smallest gear, which functioned effectively.\\n\\nAfter installing the shredder and attaching the chain, use pedal power to shred plastic. HDPE plastic, being softer, is easier to shred manually.

This process can be conducted safely at home.\n\n1. **Setup**: Place baking paper on an ironing board. Lay two layers of plastic bags on top, followed by another layer of baking paper. Ensure plastic does not extend beyond the paper to prevent melting onto the board or iron.\n\n2. **Ironing**: Set the iron temperature between COTTON and LINEN.

Look for the plastic type symbol, a number within a triangular recycle symbol, usually found at the bottom of bags. Although bags may appear similar, they may differ in type, necessitating careful sorting.\n\nThis project requires LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene), identified by the number 4. We will use red and yellow bags for this purpose, as illustrated in the photos.\n\n### Plastic Bag Fusing Tutorial\n\nTo prepare the material, fuse plastic bag layers using a household iron. This process can be conducted safely at home.\n\n1. **Setup**: Place baking paper on an ironing board. Lay two layers of plastic bags on top, followed by another layer of baking paper. Ensure plastic does not extend beyond the paper to prevent melting onto the board or iron.\n\n2. **Ironing**: Set the iron temperature between COTTON and LINEN. Continuously move the iron to avoid overheating. Iron until the plastic is fully fused. Apply pressure for a flatter surface. Repeat until achieving 3-4 layers for durability.\n\n3. **Safety**: If executed correctly, no odor or fumes will be emitted. However, ensure the room is well-ventilated.\n\n### How to Create Plastic Parts\n\nWith the plastic material ready, proceed as follows to create the parts:\n\n1. **Prepare Template**: Use the outlined PDF or draw by hand. Ensure all dimensions are in millimeters (mm) or inches (in) as required.\n \n2. **Template Application**: Cut out the paper template and trace it onto the plastic.\n\n3. **Cutting Parts**: Cut the traced outline from the plastic.\n\n**Note**: Step 6 can be skipped if the Top and Back parts are combined with markings instead of being cut separately.\n\n**Attached Photos**: In order - Front Part, Top Part, Back Part.\n\nIdentify the midpoint of the bag's top curve and align it with the zipper's center. Place the zipper face-to-face with the bag's exterior side and sew them together using your preferred stitch.\n\nTo connect the Top and Back parts, use a straight stitch. While unnecessary if pre-combined, sewing enhances the bag's shape and durability.\n\nAlign the center of the zipper with the marked middle of the designated front side. If the zipper is detachable, separate it to simplify sewing, then secure the parts together.\n\nNext, prepare the straps by cutting them into two equal pieces. To prevent them from fraying, carefully heat the ends with a lighter, without applying direct flame. Once prepared, sew the straps to the inside of the back part of the bag. Using more stitches will enhance the bag's strength.\n\n### Closing the Bag\n\nThis is the most challenging step. With all parts sewn together, it's time to close the bag. Turn the bag inside out, and mark the centers of the front and back parts. Align these parts, ensuring the zipper is open to facilitate turning the bag right-side out. During this, keep the straps inside the bag; they should end up on the outside once sewn.\n\nAfter sewing, turn the bag right-side out. Ensure all corners are fully formed, as this defines the bag's shape. If correct, the straps will be on the outside, and the bag should resemble the reference image.\n\n### Instructions for Bag Making\n\nUse sewing pins to roll the strap ends, ensuring the snap-fit buckle is first placed on the strap. Sew the ends securely; your bag is now complete.\n\n### Instructions for Using the Bag\n\nYour bag is now ready for use. Adjust the straps as needed. While it can withstand light rain, avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions. Be prepared for inquiries about its creation.\n\nLeftover materials from crafting this bag can be saved for future projects.\n\nThank you for following this tutorial; looking forward to seeing your versions.","custom waist bag, waist bag tutorial, plastic bag fusing, DIY waist bag, sewing techniques, eco-friendly fashion, Tallinn Estonia craft, plastic upcycling, DIY fashion project, sewing waist bag","### Tools\n\n- Scissors\n- Sewing pins\n- Marker\n- Lighter\n\n### Hardware\n\n- Iron\n- Ironing board\n- Sewing machine\n\n### Software\n\n- None required\n\n#### Materials Used (for reference)\n\n- Plastic shopping bags (LDPE #4)\n- 16\" zipper\n- Snap-fit buckle\n- 60\" strap\n- Baking paper\n\nEach section highlights essential items without exceeding 5 entries per category.

Look for the plastic type symbol, a number within a triangular recycle symbol, usually found at the bottom of bags. Although bags may appear similar, they may differ in type, necessitating careful sorting.\\n\\nThis project requires LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene), identified by the number 4. We will use red and yellow bags for this purpose, as illustrated in the photos.\\n\\n### Plastic Bag Fusing Tutorial\\n\\nTo prepare the material, fuse plastic bag layers using a household iron. This process can be conducted safely at home.\\n\\n1. **Setup**: Place baking paper on an ironing board. Lay two layers of plastic bags on top, followed by another layer of baking paper. Ensure plastic does not extend beyond the paper to prevent melting onto the board or iron.\\n\\n2. **Ironing**: Set the iron temperature between COTTON and LINEN. Continuously move the iron to avoid overheating. Iron until the plastic is fully fused. Apply pressure for a flatter surface. Repeat until achieving 3-4 layers for durability.\\n\\n3. **Safety**: If executed correctly, no odor or fumes will be emitted. However, ensure the room is well-ventilated.\\n\\n### How to Create Plastic Parts\\n\\nWith the plastic material ready, proceed as follows to create the parts:\\n\\n1. **Prepare Template**: Use the outlined PDF or draw by hand. Ensure all dimensions are in millimeters (mm) or inches (in) as required.\\n \\n2. **Template Application**: Cut out the paper template and trace it onto the plastic.\\n\\n3. **Cutting Parts**: Cut the traced outline from the plastic.\\n\\n**Note**: Step 6 can be skipped if the Top and Back parts are combined with markings instead of being cut separately.\\n\\n**Attached Photos**: In order - Front Part, Top Part, Back Part.\\n\\nIdentify the midpoint of the bag's top curve and align it with the zipper's center. Place the zipper face-to-face with the bag's exterior side and sew them together using your preferred stitch.\\n\\nTo connect the Top and Back parts, use a straight stitch. While unnecessary if pre-combined, sewing enhances the bag's shape and durability.\\n\\nAlign the center of the zipper with the marked middle of the designated front side. If the zipper is detachable, separate it to simplify sewing, then secure the parts together.\\n\\nNext, prepare the straps by cutting them into two equal pieces. To prevent them from fraying, carefully heat the ends with a lighter, without applying direct flame. Once prepared, sew the straps to the inside of the back part of the bag. Using more stitches will enhance the bag's strength.\\n\\n### Closing the Bag\\n\\nThis is the most challenging step. With all parts sewn together, it's time to close the bag. Turn the bag inside out, and mark the centers of the front and back parts. Align these parts, ensuring the zipper is open to facilitate turning the bag right-side out. During this, keep the straps inside the bag; they should end up on the outside once sewn.\\n\\nAfter sewing, turn the bag right-side out. Ensure all corners are fully formed, as this defines the bag's shape. If correct, the straps will be on the outside, and the bag should resemble the reference image.\\n\\n### Instructions for Bag Making\\n\\nUse sewing pins to roll the strap ends, ensuring the snap-fit buckle is first placed on the strap.

This method requires minimal investment and enables the simultaneous production of multiple sheets.\n\n\nUser Location: Wuppertal, Germany\n\n## Materials Needed\n\n- **Galvanized Metal Sheets**: 2 pieces, 350x400x3 mm (13.8x15.7x0.12 inches)\n- **Aluminum Profiles**:\n - 2 pieces, 12.5x7.5x400 mm (0.49x0.3x15.75 inches)\n - 2 pieces, 12.5x7.5x325 mm (0.49x0.3x12.8 inches)\n\n## Tools Required\n\n- Saw or angle grinder\n\n## Instructions\n\n### Preparing Sheets\n\nPurchase metal sheets in the specified dimensions, or mark and cut larger sheets to size. Use an angle grinder or saw for cutting.\n\n### Assembling Frame\n\nMeasure and mark the necessary lengths on the aluminum profiles. Cut using a saw.\n\n### Assembly Instructions\n\n#### Materials\n- Cut aluminum profiles\n- Metal sheet\n\n#### Tools\n- 5mm (3/16 inch) and 8mm (5/16 inch) metal drill bits\n- Clamp\n\n#### Procedure\n\n1. Position a 400mm (15.75 inches) profile on the metal sheet, secure it with a clamp, and drill two 5mm (3/16 inch) holes through both components, approximately 80mm (3.15 inches) from each end.\n\n2. Drill two 8mm (5/16 inch) holes on the top side of the aluminum profile, ensuring not to penetrate completely. These holes accommodate the M5 screw heads.\n\n3. Repeat these steps with the two 325mm (12.8 inches) profiles and the remaining 400mm (15.75 inches) profile.\n\nMaterial:\nDrilled aluminum profiles and metal sheet, M5 screws and nuts\n\nTools:\nScrewdriver\n\nInstructions:\nInsert the eight screws into the profile and secure them with nuts.\n\nYou will need four holes for the screws of the compression springs. These are typically placed in the corners of the sheets but can be located elsewhere.\n\n**Material:**\n- Both metal sheets\n\n**Tools:**\n- 0.24-inch (6 mm) Drill\n\n**Instructions:**\n\nPosition the second metal sheet on the frame and align perfectly. Secure with screw clamps. Drill one hole in each corner. Alternatively, you might cut a slot to expedite the assembly and disassembly of the compression screws.\n\nThe mold is complete; let's test it.\n\nMaterials:\n- Mold\n- Plastic granules or pellets\n- Silicone oil spray\n- Oven\n- M6 screw\n- Washers\n- Compression spring\n\nInstructions:\n\n1. Lightly spray the inside of the mold with silicone oil.\n2. Fill the mold with plastic and place the cover on top.\n3. Insert compression screws and tighten the spring by screwing.\n4. Place the mold in the oven. Set the temperature based on your plastic type. If unsure, start at 392°F (200°C) and adjust in subsequent trials.\n5. Begin with a baking time of 1.5 hours.\n\n### Materials:\n- 4 Oven Molds\n- Timer\n- Optional Oven Rack\n\n### Tools:\n- Screwdriver\n\n### Instructions:\n\n1. Prepare the four molds as shown in Step 5.\n2. Stack the molds in the oven.\n3. Initiate the baking process, noting that increased thermal mass may extend the baking time.\n4. Set the timer to automate the oven shutdown.\n\n### Video Guide\n\nA brief video demonstrating the entire process.\n\n### ABS Sheet Making Guide\n\nBelow are images of a sheet made from ABS, showcasing the effectiveness of this straightforward process. After trimming the edges, you will obtain a flat sheet with a smooth surface. Small pellets or flakes are recommended for best results.\n\n#### Process Exploration\n\nAttempt the process independently. Experiment and innovate, and if you discover a more efficient method to produce sheets, consider sharing your findings through a tutorial.\n\n#### Safety Warning\n\nEnsure adherence to safety precautions. Use gloves, safety glasses, and a respirator while handling molten plastics. Avoid using your home oven for melting; instead, acquire a dedicated second-hand oven for this purpose.","self-compressing mold, sheet making tutorial, kitchen oven sheet production, DIY mold sheets, galvanized metal sheets, aluminum profiles assembly, plastic sheets oven, compression spring assembly, ABS plastic sheets, oven sheet mold","### Tools\n\n- Saw or angle grinder\n- Metal drill bits (5mm, 8mm, 6mm)\n- Clamp\n- Screwdriver\n- Safety equipment (gloves, glasses, respirator)\n\n### Hardware\n\n- Galvanized metal sheets (350x400x3mm)\n- Aluminum profiles (12.5x7.5x400mm and 12.5x7.5x325mm)\n- Fasteners (M5/M6 screws, nuts, washers, compression springs)\n- Oven (dedicated) and oven molds\n- Plastic granules/pellets and silicone oil spray\n\n### Software\n\n- N/A (No software required)","## References\n\n### Opensource Designs\n\n- Self-compressing oven mould for making sheets [1]\n- [Build a compression machine](https://onearmy.github.io/academy/build/compression) [2]\n- [Sheet-press mould development](https://davehakkens.nl/community/forums/topic/v4-sheet-press-mould-development/index.html) [7]\n- [DIY compression mold using a kitchen oven](https://davehakkens.nl/community/forums/topic/slow-molding-sheet-making/index.html) [3]\n- [Vacuum forming DIY guide](https://www.instructables.com/Make-a-good,-cheap,-upgradeable-sheet-plastic-vacu/) [8]\n- [DIY plastic molding forum guide](https://www.customfighters.com/threads/diy-plastic-molds.5409/) [15]\n\n### Books\n\n- [Compression Molding of Rubber – A Practical Handbook](https://store.technobiz.org/product/compression-molding-of-rubber-a-practical-guide/) [9]\n- [Injection and Compression Molding Fundamentals](https://www.routledge.com/Injection-and-Compression-Molding-Fundamentals/Isayev/p/book/9780824776701) [11]\n- [Vacuum Forming for the Hobbyist](https://www.build-stuff.com/books/vacuum-forming-for-the-hobbyist/) [12]\n- [Compression Molding of Rubber (Alternative Edition)](https://rubberworld.com/product/compression-molding-of-rubber-a-practical-handbook/) [14]\n\n### Papers\n\n- [Compression Molding Patent (WO2003095187A1)](https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2003095187A1/en) [4]\n\n### YouTube\n\n- [3D Printed Compression Mold Tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hmgx0lIUDD8) [6]","{\n \"slug\": \"self-compressing-oven-mould-for-making-sheets\",\n \"id\": \"self-compressing-oven-mould-for-making-sheets\",\n \"title\": \"Self-compressing oven mould for making sheets\",\n \"type\": \"howto\",\n \"components\": [],\n \"item\": {\n \"_createdBy\": \"devlabnrw\",\n \"title\": \"Self-compressing oven mould for making sheets\",\n \"_deleted\": false,\n \"total_views\": 267,\n \"time\": \"\u003C 5 hours\",\n \"slug\": \"self-compressing-oven-mould-for-making-sheets\",\n \"difficulty_level\": \"Medium\",\n \"comments\": [],\n \"_id\": \"U2HfhLmwuXaxHICJiVmc\",\n \"description\": \"## Tutorial: Making Sheets with a Self-Compressing Mould and Kitchen Oven\\n\\nThis guide explains how to create sheets using a self-compressing mold and kitchen oven.

For any injection mold with a threaded connection to the machine nozzle, simply install a brass garden hose connector.\n\n\nUser Location: Ajaccio, France\n\nThe injection machine effectively highlights plastic issues and illustrates the recycling process. However, for high-volume production, it can be slow and challenging.\n\nHere are the primary issues:\n\n- Molds are difficult to attach; they often clog with molten plastic, complicating assembly and necessitating cleaning after each cycle.\n- Unmolding is time-consuming; threaded mold connectors create undercuts, complicating unmolding.\n\nThe upgrade system must accomplish the following:\n\n1. Enable single-movement mold attachment and detachment\n2. Improve operator comfort\n3. Minimize production waste\n4. Allow use with gloves\n5. Reduce cycle time\n6. Eliminate the need for cleaning between cycles\n\nUsing a brass garden hose connector, found at garden and home improvement stores, can facilitate efficient mold connection.\n\nYou'll need:\n\n- 1 x 1-inch female brass garden hose connector with external threads\n- 2 x 1/2-inch male brass garden hose connector with internal threads (or another size to fit your mold)\n- 1 x 1/2-inch brass endcap\n\nThese items are available at most hardware or gardening stores.\n\n- 14mm (9/16-inch) long piece of M14 threaded rod or 14mm (9/16-inch) diameter round stock (M14 threaded rod is recommended for its suitable diameter, though any 14mm round stock will suffice)\n- 10mm (3/8-inch) drill bit\n- A drill and a vise\n\nNote: Ensure compatibility with your machine and mold; verify dimensions. \n\nMetric to inch equivalents: \n1/2 inch = 15x21 threads\n\nBegin by fabricating a spacer: a cylinder with a 14 mm (0.55 inches) diameter and a 10 mm (0.39 inches) central hole. Refer to the plans below. \n\nAn M14 threaded rod or screw is suitable and commonly available, but a 14 mm (0.55 inches) round stock is also acceptable.\n\nUsing a drill and vise, create the 10 mm (0.39 inches) hole through the spacer.\n\nEnsure the spacer fits well in both the male connector and the 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) adaptor to prevent leakage.\n\n# Modify Your Mold\n\n1. Insert the spacer into the mold's 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) connector, ensuring it fits snugly and occupies most of the empty space.\n2. Attach the male brass connector on top.\n3. Drill through all parts with a 10 mm (0.39 inch) drill bit to enlarge the hole to 10 mm (0.39 inch). Ensure precise drilling to avoid damaging the threads.\n\nRepeat these steps for each mold to fit them all with male connectors for convenience.\n\n# Assemble Your Plug\n\n- Attach the second male connector to the end cap to create your new plug.\n\n# Modify Your Injection Machine\n\n- Remove the current threaded nozzle and replace it with the brass female connector.\n\n1. Prepare your mold and heat the machine.\n\n2. To inject, lift the female connector's exterior ring to remove the plug.\n\n3. Push the mold into the connector, which will latch with a \"click.\"\n\n4. Inject into the mold.\n\n5. To remove, lift the connector ring and extract the mold, then replace the plug.\n\n6. Repeat as necessary.\n\nThis method achieved approximately 15 injections per hour, surpassing previous results.\n\nThe rod fills the void inside the male connector, allowing molten plastic to flow through the 10 mm (0.39 inches) channel. This enables easy removal of the sprue from the mold (see Picture 1).\n\nAttention: Remember the spacer to ensure smooth unmolding (see Picture 2).","upgrading injection machine, mold improvement, injection molding efficiency, brass garden hose connector, injection mold connector, improve production speed, injection machine upgrade, mold attachment system, reduce cycle time, operator comfort","### Hardware\n\n- 1-inch female brass garden hose connector (external threads)\n- 2x 1/2-inch male brass garden hose connectors (internal threads)\n- 1/2-inch brass endcap\n- M14 threaded rod (14mm length) or 14mm round stock\n- 10mm drill bit\n\n### Tools\n\n- Drill\n- Vise\n\n### Software\n\n- No software required","## Articles\n\n- [Make Your Own Injection Molding Machine](https://makezine.com/projects/diy-injection-molding/)\n- [Mold and Connector for Injection Molding](https://www.instructables.com/Mold-and-Connector-for-Injection-Molding/)\n- [DIY Injection Molding: How to Mold Plastic Parts In-House](https://formlabs.com/blog/diy-injection-molding/)\n- [Injection Mold Construction (Wikipedia)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injection_mold_construction)\n\n## Opensource Designs\n\n- Injection Machine Automatic Connection Upgrade (Precious Plastic)\n\n## YouTube\n\n- [Buster Beagle 3D Injection Molding Machine MK4 Updates](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzYe9b0Iuzc)\n\n## Products\n\n- [Power Cord Plug Injection Molding Machine (KINGSING)](https://www.kingsing.com/product/793.html)\n- [Brass Injection Moulding Inserts](https://precision-brass-parts.com/brass-injection-moulding-inserts/)\n- [CPC308 Brass Injection Mold Coupler (Green Line Hose)](https://www.greenlinehose.com/buy/product/cpc308/139364)","{\n \"slug\": \"injection-machine-automatic-connection-upgrade\",\n \"id\": \"injection-machine-automatic-connection-upgrade\",\n \"title\": \"Injection Machine Automatic Connection Upgrade\",\n \"type\": \"howto\",\n \"components\": [],\n \"item\": {\n \"total_views\": 166,\n \"cover_image\": {\n \"type\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"fullPath\": \"uploads/howtos/UMzChzofue4ClKLeZ6MA/cover photo-17f55b55bf8.jpg\",\n \"contentType\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"updated\": \"2022-03-04T19:55:06.740Z\",\n \"size\": 36833,\n \"timeCreated\": \"2022-03-04T19:55:06.740Z\",\n \"name\": \"cover photo-17f55b55bf8.jpg\",\n \"downloadUrl\": \"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2FUMzChzofue4ClKLeZ6MA%2Fcover%20photo-17f55b55bf8.jpg?alt=media&token=33be5ad4-e38c-4e82-a53a-d11b00b1fa53\",\n \"src\": \"C:\\\\Users\\\\zx\\\\Desktop\\\\osr\\\\osr-machines\\\\howtos\\\\injection-machine-automatic-connection-upgrade\\\\cover_photo-17f55b55bf8.jpg\"\n },\n \"creatorCountry\": \"\",\n \"time\": \"\u003C 5 hours\",\n \"description\": \"# How-To Guide for Upgrading Your Injection Machine and Molds\\n\\nImprove the speed, safety, and efficiency of your injection process by upgrading your machine and molds.

For any injection mold with a threaded connection to the machine nozzle, simply install a brass garden hose connector.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Ajaccio, France\\n\\nThe injection machine effectively highlights plastic issues and illustrates the recycling process. However, for high-volume production, it can be slow and challenging.\\n\\nHere are the primary issues:\\n\\n- Molds are difficult to attach; they often clog with molten plastic, complicating assembly and necessitating cleaning after each cycle.\\n- Unmolding is time-consuming; threaded mold connectors create undercuts, complicating unmolding.\\n\\nThe upgrade system must accomplish the following:\\n\\n1. Enable single-movement mold attachment and detachment\\n2. Improve operator comfort\\n3. Minimize production waste\\n4. Allow use with gloves\\n5. Reduce cycle time\\n6. Eliminate the need for cleaning between cycles\\n\\nUsing a brass garden hose connector, found at garden and home improvement stores, can facilitate efficient mold connection.\\n\\nYou'll need:\\n\\n- 1 x 1-inch female brass garden hose connector with external threads\\n- 2 x 1/2-inch male brass garden hose connector with internal threads (or another size to fit your mold)\\n- 1 x 1/2-inch brass endcap\\n\\nThese items are available at most hardware or gardening stores.\\n\\n- 14mm (9/16-inch) long piece of M14 threaded rod or 14mm (9/16-inch) diameter round stock (M14 threaded rod is recommended for its suitable diameter, though any 14mm round stock will suffice)\\n- 10mm (3/8-inch) drill bit\\n- A drill and a vise\\n\\nNote: Ensure compatibility with your machine and mold; verify dimensions. \\n\\nMetric to inch equivalents: \\n1/2 inch = 15x21 threads\\n\\nBegin by fabricating a spacer: a cylinder with a 14 mm (0.55 inches) diameter and a 10 mm (0.39 inches) central hole. Refer to the plans below. \\n\\nAn M14 threaded rod or screw is suitable and commonly available, but a 14 mm (0.55 inches) round stock is also acceptable.\\n\\nUsing a drill and vise, create the 10 mm (0.39 inches) hole through the spacer.\\n\\nEnsure the spacer fits well in both the male connector and the 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) adaptor to prevent leakage.\\n\\n# Modify Your Mold\\n\\n1. Insert the spacer into the mold's 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) connector, ensuring it fits snugly and occupies most of the empty space.\\n2. Attach the male brass connector on top.\\n3. Drill through all parts with a 10 mm (0.39 inch) drill bit to enlarge the hole to 10 mm (0.39 inch). Ensure precise drilling to avoid damaging the threads.\\n\\nRepeat these steps for each mold to fit them all with male connectors for convenience.\\n\\n# Assemble Your Plug\\n\\n- Attach the second male connector to the end cap to create your new plug.\\n\\n# Modify Your Injection Machine\\n\\n- Remove the current threaded nozzle and replace it with the brass female connector.\\n\\n1. Prepare your mold and heat the machine.\\n\\n2. To inject, lift the female connector's exterior ring to remove the plug.\\n\\n3. Push the mold into the connector, which will latch with a \\\"click.\\\"\\n\\n4. Inject into the mold.\\n\\n5. To remove, lift the connector ring and extract the mold, then replace the plug.\\n\\n6. Repeat as necessary.\\n\\nThis method achieved approximately 15 injections per hour, surpassing previous results.\\n\\nThe rod fills the void inside the male connector, allowing molten plastic to flow through the 10 mm (0.39 inches) channel. This enables easy removal of the sprue from the mold (see Picture 1).\\n\\nAttention: Remember the spacer to ensure smooth unmolding (see Picture 2).\",\n \"keywords\": \"upgrading injection machine,

Remember to protect yourself from the sun.\n\n\nUser Location: Geneve, Switzerland\n\nYou will need:\n\n- Volks.eco solar concentrator\n- Hydraulic jack press\n- Plumbing pipe cartridge\n- Shredded HDPE\n- Injection mold\n- Cup of water\n- Oven gloves\n- Clamp\n\nLocate a sunny area and preheat the solar tube concentrator.\n\nInsert shredded plastic into the iron cartridge.\n\nCompress the necessary plastic based on your part's volume within the cartridge.\n\nSecure the plumbing pipe with ½ inch (1.27 cm) cap ends.\n\nPlace the cartridge inside the solar concentrator.\n\nAllow 30 to 60 minutes depending on sunlight exposure. Multiple iron cartridges can be loaded in the solar concentrator to expedite the process. Monitor the cartridge temperature with a probe placed inside the heated tube. The concentrator can reach temperatures between 356°F and 482°F (180°C and 250°C). This method offers extensive learning opportunities.\n\nThe cartridge will be very hot; use gloves.\n\nRemove the two cap ends from the hot cartridge.\n\nSubmerge one end of the tube in the cup of water.\n\nBy doing this, a solid plastic piece will form and push the melted plastic into the mold.\n\nNote: Preheating the mold above 140°F (60°C) enhances the finish. This can be achieved by placing the mold in a solar concentrator for a few minutes.\n\nInject the plastic into the mold as quickly as possible for best results.\n\nWe will provide instructions on constructing a portable hydraulic jack press in the future.\n\nEnsure the mold is cooled before removing the injected part; submerge in cold water if necessary.\n\nYou now have a completed part produced using manual and solar energy.\n\nThe mold requires mechanical enhancements for extraction as it is merely a prototype for this concept.\n\n## Solar Concentrator Overview\n\nThis video outlines the entire process and estimated time for each step.\n\nThe solar concentrator operates independently of electricity. It can be set up in any location and season, provided there is adequate sunlight.\n\nFor more information on the solar concentrator, visit volks.eco and contact Marco, who has extensive experience with this device, applicable in various contexts.\n\nExplore its potential to harness solar energy effectively.","volks.eco, solar injection molding, plastic waste recycling, solar concentrator,

It offers guidance on teaching various processing technologies.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Liberec, Czechia\\n\\nIn 2020, only 30% of plastic waste in the Czech Republic was recycled, 39% was incinerated as fuel, and the rest fell into other categories. While collection occurs, knowledge of reuse is limited. The primary issue is ignorance. Education with practical examples can raise awareness about reducing single-use plastics, reuse, and informed processes among the younger generation. We have the power to shape the future world.\\n\\n### Download Instructions\\n\\nThe total package size is 1.1 GB, making it unsuitable for direct upload here.

Explore local resources and capabilities to discover alternative methods for axle manufacturing.\n\n### Shredding Plastic with the Bicycle Shredder\n\nFor effective shredding with the bicycle shredder, the cutting mill's knives must rotate at high speed. To safely introduce plastic into the cutting mill without opening it, we initially experimented with various pipe lock designs. However, these proved unreliable, leading us to create a more traditional hopper instead. Although the new hopper is larger and heavier than previous versions, it provides increased stability and safety during operation.\n\nThe sieve and collection box are constructed from bent and welded metal sheets. Use a sieve with holes approximately 5-8 mm (3/16-5/16 inches) in diameter. Smaller holes may reduce the plastic to dust. Ensure the metal sheet is of sufficient thickness for stability and the locking system; 1.5 mm (1/16 inch) is recommended.\n\nThe friction wheel transfers speed from the rear wheel to the cutting mill. We make the wheel from plywood because it can be milled using our CNC machine. However, better materials, such as certain plastics, are available for the friction wheel.\n\n### Steel Frame Construction Guide\n\nConstructing the steel frame necessitates expertise in welding and metalwork. Beginners should consult an experienced metalworker. Use plywood sheet gauges to maintain correct distances between steel tubes and employ large 45° angles to streamline the welding process.\n\nEnsure all holes and slots are drilled and milled into the steel tubes prior to welding, as alignment becomes challenging afterwards.\n\nFor welding M16 nuts, align both nuts to properly secure the rear wheel. Use a 14mm (0.55 inches) diameter steel bar for this purpose.\n\nAdjusting the height is a simple task. A small steel strip is welded to a clamping ring for the turning knob, and the rest consists of standard components.\n\nThe wheel-mount involves considerable lathe work but is straightforward.

Eighteen months ago, we released a video on building the original bicycle shredder. We have since improved the design and documentation and now present the enhanced second version.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Dresden, Germany\\n\\n### Assembly Information for Makers\\n\\nThe download package contains numerous files and drawings. While it may seem overwhelming initially, the following steps provide further insights into the shredder's design. A brief introduction video and an assembly video are forthcoming to enhance understanding of the construction. \\n\\n[Download Link](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xlts122wcb905q6/AABRgMZTki8gH1NqQ5SvOS-Ia?dl=0)\\n\\nMost low-speed shredders observed online or within the community tend to be large, heavy, or inefficient. Opting for high-speed shredding utilizes inertia effectively. We chose to shred materials using human-powered high-speed methods.\\n\\nVarious designs exist for constructing the axle. We opted to invest in standard parts to minimize further machining costs. We use span sockets for this reason. However, we recognize these components may not be available in all regions. Explore local resources and capabilities to discover alternative methods for axle manufacturing.\\n\\n### Shredding Plastic with the Bicycle Shredder\\n\\nFor effective shredding with the bicycle shredder, the cutting mill's knives must rotate at high speed. To safely introduce plastic into the cutting mill without opening it, we initially experimented with various pipe lock designs. However, these proved unreliable, leading us to create a more traditional hopper instead. Although the new hopper is larger and heavier than previous versions, it provides increased stability and safety during operation.\\n\\nThe sieve and collection box are constructed from bent and welded metal sheets. Use a sieve with holes approximately 5-8 mm (3/16-5/16 inches) in diameter. Smaller holes may reduce the plastic to dust. Ensure the metal sheet is of sufficient thickness for stability and the locking system; 1.5 mm (1/16 inch) is recommended.\\n\\nThe friction wheel transfers speed from the rear wheel to the cutting mill. We make the wheel from plywood because it can be milled using our CNC machine. However, better materials, such as certain plastics, are available for the friction wheel.\\n\\n### Steel Frame Construction Guide\\n\\nConstructing the steel frame necessitates expertise in welding and metalwork. Beginners should consult an experienced metalworker. Use plywood sheet gauges to maintain correct distances between steel tubes and employ large 45° angles to streamline the welding process.\\n\\nEnsure all holes and slots are drilled and milled into the steel tubes prior to welding, as alignment becomes challenging afterwards.\\n\\nFor welding M16 nuts, align both nuts to properly secure the rear wheel. Use a 14mm (0.55 inches) diameter steel bar for this purpose.\\n\\nAdjusting the height is a simple task. A small steel strip is welded to a clamping ring for the turning knob, and the rest consists of standard components.\\n\\nThe wheel-mount involves considerable lathe work but is straightforward. For the turning knob, we cut a piece from a thick metal sheet and welded it to a nut. Alternatively, you can create the knob using steel strips and an angle grinder.\\n\\n### Workshop Safety Guidelines\\n\\nWorkshops involve diverse participants, and safety is a top priority. We implement a color-coded system for handling equipment:\\n\\n- **Green:** Accessible to everyone.\\n- **Orange:** Restricted to team members.\\n- **Red:** Extremely hazardous; avoid contact.\\n\\nIn addition to our color system, we use standard warning signs and machine-specific instructions. We also install safety features like belt and shaft protections.\\n\\nYour suggestions for improving machine safety are welcome.\",\n \"keywords\": \"bicycle shredder, construction tutorial, shredder design, assembly information, high-speed shredding, axle manufacturing, plastic shredding, steel frame construction, workshop safety, human-powered machinery\",\n \"resources\": \"To build the enhanced bicycle shredder, key components and resources are organized into three main categories, each containing critical elements extracted from the tutorial documentation[1].\\n\\n### Tools & Workshop Equipment\\n\\n- Welding equipment (MIG/TIG recommended)\\n- Lathe (for wheel-mount fabrication)\\n- Angle grinder (for steel cutting/shaping)\\n- CNC machine (plywood friction wheel milling)\\n- Drilling/milling tools (pre-welding preparation)\\n\\n### Hardware Components\\n\\n- Steel tubes (14mm diameter bar for frame)\\n- Span sockets (axle components)\\n- M16 nuts (rear wheel mounting)\\n- 1.5mm metal sheets (sieve/collection box)\\n- Plywood sheets (friction wheel & alignment jigs)\\n\\n### Software & Documentation\\n\\n- [Design package](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xlts122wcb905q6/AABRgMZTki8gH1NqQ5SvOS-Ia?dl=0) (CAD files & technical drawings)\\n- Assembly video tutorials (forthcoming)\\n- Sieve specifications (5-8mm holes)\\n- Metalworking guidelines (bending/welding)\\n- Safety system documentation (color codes/operational protocols)[1]\\n\\nConsult the design package and adjust components based on regional availability of materials like span sockets[1].

This process minimizes manual handling and enhances safety. It efficiently reduces storage space requirements and waste collection frequency, optimizing waste management.\n\n\nUser Location: Sukawati, Indonesia\n\n### Machine Download Package\n\n#### Included Files:\n\n- **3D CAD**: .step and .igs\n- **Laser Cut Files**: .dxf\n- **Blueprints**: .pdf\n- **Schematics**\n- **Bill of Materials (BOM)**\n\n#### For Autodesk Inventor Users:\n\n- **Assembly**: .iam\n- **Construction Drawings**: .Idw\n- **Parts**: .Ipt\n\nAdditional images and videos are available [here](https://photos.app.goo.gl/7ALBkSbWRh6VzzaK9).\n\nThese are the skills and machinery needed for machine building:\n\n- Metalworking: cutting, drilling\n- Welding\n- Lathe machining\n- Milling\n- Plasma cutting (can be subcontracted)\n- Electrical work: wiring, temperature control\n- Optional: painting equipment\n\n**Machinery and Tools:**\n\n- Grinder, chop saw, MIG/MAG or TIG welder, drill press\n- Lathe, milling machine (CNC)\n- Welding machine\n- Compressor (for painting)\n- Plasma/laser cutting tools (subcontracting possible)\n \n**Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):**\n\n- Mask\n- Welding helmet\n- Safety goggles\n- Heat-resistant gloves\n\nDownload the plasma cutter files and follow the instructions to cut the machine parts according to the metal plate thickness. Alternatively, you may bring these files to a local machine shop for cutting.\n\nConstruct the main frame as per the design specifications. For the baler's base, fabricate a platform grid to accommodate the twine or string. Ensure precise welding to form the grid and accurately position it at the frame's bottom.\n\nA hinge comprises two parts: one fixed to the door and the other to the frame. Cut all parts using a plasma cutter and weld them together.\n\nAfter crafting hinges and locks, attach the hinges to the main frame first (see step 7).\n\n### Instructions for Door Assembly\n\nEach side of the door has unique hinge and lock placements; follow the design carefully.\n\nThe front door is designed to fold down, allowing easier access for loading materials.\n\nIf you are uncertain about precise welding, do not attach the hinge to the door until ensuring all components are aligned (refer to step 7).\n\n### Hinge Alignment Guide for Doors\n\nTo ensure proper alignment of your doors, weld the hinge only after positioning the door correctly. Use the hinge on the frame as a guide for smooth movement. You may weld a temporary support, as shown in the picture, to aid alignment. Once the hinges are aligned with the frame, remove the temporary support.\n\nRemove any excess material from the welding process to ensure smooth operation of all hinges and locks. Properly aligned, all four doors should open and close with ease.\n\n### Build Oil Tank and Motor Case\n\nEnsure all seams are leak-free. Attach to the upper section of the baler according to the 3D drawing.\n\nA team is required due to the heavy hydraulics. Two strong individuals should be positioned above as receivers, with two others lifting and one securing it from below.\n\nElevate the hydraulic and secure it in place.\n\nAttach the remaining components:\n- oil tank\n- oil pump\n- motor\n- all pipes\n- electrical (refer to schematic drawing)\n\nTest your machine to ensure proper functionality.\n\nOnce you confirm all parts are operational, disassemble the components before painting the frame.\n\nWe recommend placing your machine on a level surface, and securing it to the floor for greater stability.\n\n1.

Alternatively, you may bring these files to a local machine shop for cutting.\\n\\nConstruct the main frame as per the design specifications. For the baler's base, fabricate a platform grid to accommodate the twine or string. Ensure precise welding to form the grid and accurately position it at the frame's bottom.\\n\\nA hinge comprises two parts: one fixed to the door and the other to the frame. Cut all parts using a plasma cutter and weld them together.\\n\\nAfter crafting hinges and locks, attach the hinges to the main frame first (see step 7).\\n\\n### Instructions for Door Assembly\\n\\nEach side of the door has unique hinge and lock placements; follow the design carefully.\\n\\nThe front door is designed to fold down, allowing easier access for loading materials.\\n\\nIf you are uncertain about precise welding, do not attach the hinge to the door until ensuring all components are aligned (refer to step 7).\\n\\n### Hinge Alignment Guide for Doors\\n\\nTo ensure proper alignment of your doors, weld the hinge only after positioning the door correctly. Use the hinge on the frame as a guide for smooth movement. You may weld a temporary support, as shown in the picture, to aid alignment. Once the hinges are aligned with the frame, remove the temporary support.\\n\\nRemove any excess material from the welding process to ensure smooth operation of all hinges and locks. Properly aligned, all four doors should open and close with ease.\\n\\n### Build Oil Tank and Motor Case\\n\\nEnsure all seams are leak-free. Attach to the upper section of the baler according to the 3D drawing.\\n\\nA team is required due to the heavy hydraulics. Two strong individuals should be positioned above as receivers, with two others lifting and one securing it from below.\\n\\nElevate the hydraulic and secure it in place.\\n\\nAttach the remaining components:\\n- oil tank\\n- oil pump\\n- motor\\n- all pipes\\n- electrical (refer to schematic drawing)\\n\\nTest your machine to ensure proper functionality.\\n\\nOnce you confirm all parts are operational, disassemble the components before painting the frame.\\n\\nWe recommend placing your machine on a level surface, and securing it to the floor for greater stability.\\n\\n1. Position the thread or rope for baling.\\n2. Load the material into the chamber and close the door.\\n3. Lock the door securely.\\n4. Activate the power.\\n5. Lower the handle valve until the pressure gauge reaches 100 bar (1450 psi), the maximum hydraulic capacity.\\n6. Release pressure.\\n7. Add more material until the desired dimensions are achieved; repeat the process as necessary.\\n8. Open the door.\\n9. Tie the baled material securely.\\n\\nWe support open source technology for the development of solutions that can be enhanced by a global community of makers, engineers, and designers. By sharing our design, we aim to foster collaboration and innovation.\\n\\nWe welcome your feedback and suggestions on our open source automatic baler machine.

You will need a 3 mm (0.12 in) Allen key.\n\nEnsure the front side is visible and accessible; the aluminum profiles have a designated hole for this. Slide the T-nuts into the profiles, with the rounded side facing down. Secure the gondolas to the profiles with the screws, following the specified order. The outer gondolas should have their logos facing outwards, and the inner ones should show labeling.

Airpath Components (PDF)\\n2. Airpath 3D Printed Parts (ZIP)\\n\\n## Instructions\\nAssemble your JARVIS Airpath cooling system in six simple steps. \\n\\nFor assistance, access our video tutorial:\\n[Watch Video](https://youtu.be/6Ae6oDKhqiE)\\n\\nFor further information, visit our website: \\n[Visit Qitech](https://www.qitech.de/en/industries)\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Darmstadt, Germany\\n\\nFirst, prepare the four gondolas by inserting the included magnets into the upper holes. Ensure all magnets in the gondolas have the same polarity for proper interaction with the magnetic clips.\\n\\nThe clips contain two interior holes for magnets. Insert the magnets with the correct orientation to ensure they attract the gondolas.\\n\\nAttach the four gondolas to the aluminum profiles using 16 M5 x 8 screws and 16 T-nuts. You will need a 3 mm (0.12 in) Allen key.\\n\\nEnsure the front side is visible and accessible; the aluminum profiles have a designated hole for this. Slide the T-nuts into the profiles, with the rounded side facing down. Secure the gondolas to the profiles with the screws, following the specified order. The outer gondolas should have their logos facing outwards, and the inner ones should show labeling. Make sure gondolas do not extend past the aluminum profiles—these should extend about 2 mm (0.08 in) outward.\\n\\nInsert the fans into the JARVIS Airpath, ensuring the cone tips face inward and the display cables are pulled through the aluminum profile (aluminium profile), ensuring cables do not impede fan rotation. Secure the grilles and fans onto the gondola.\\n\\nTo securely screw in the feet, you will need 4 T-nuts, 4 hard plastic washers, 4 rubber feet, 4 screws (M5 x 14 or 0.2 x 0.55 inches), and a 4 mm (0.16 inch) Allen key.\\n\\nPlace the JARVIS Airpath on the rubber feet. Position the hard plastic washers between the rubber feet and the aluminum profile. Screw two support feet into the aluminum profile.\\n\\nAttach the control box using four T-nuts and four M5 x 8 (5/16 in x 5/16 in) screws. Insert the T-nuts into the aluminum profile and secure the control box to the front. Ensure power cables are routed through the hole into the box.\\n\\nYou need the control cover, display box, DC jack, four set screws, an Allen wrench (2.5 mm/0.1 in), and a small screwdriver (0.35 mm/2.5 mm or 0.014 in/0.098 in).\\n\\nOpen the display box and remove the green start button.\\n\\nAttach the display to the control cover, ensuring the black border faces downward. Insert the fan control through the smaller hole and the green start button through the larger hole, securing it with a thin metal ring and nut.\\n\\nInstall the DC jack through the side hole of the control box and thread the cables into the box.\\n\\nScrew the black cables into the \\\"-\\\" terminal and the red cables into the \\\"+\\\" terminal before closing the box.\\n\\nUse set screws to secure the control box to the display cover.\",\n \"keywords\": \"JARVIS Airpath, cooling system assembly, assembly guide, Qitech, magnetic clips, gondolas, aluminum profiles, fan installation, control box, DC jack\",\n \"resources\": \"## Tools\\n\\n- 3 mm (0.12 in) Allen key [Source](https://youtu.be/6Ae6oDKhqiE)\\n- 4 mm (0.16 in) Allen key [Source](https://youtu.be/6Ae6oDKhqiE)\\n- 2.5 mm (0.1 in) Allen wrench [Source](https://youtu.be/6Ae6oDKhqiE)\\n- 0.35 mm/2.5 mm (0.014 in/0.098 in) screwdriver [Source](https://youtu.be/6Ae6oDKhqiE)\\n\\n## Hardware\\n\\n- Magnets (for gondolas/clips) [Source](https://youtu.be/6Ae6oDKhqiE)\\n- M5 x 8 screws (16x) + T-nuts (16x) [Source](https://youtu.be/6Ae6oDKhqiE)\\n- M5 x 14 screws (4x) + rubber feet (4x) [Source](https://youtu.be/6Ae6oDKhqiE)\\n- Control box + DC jack [Source](https://youtu.be/6Ae6oDKhqiE)\\n- Aluminum profiles + fans/grilles [Source](https://youtu.be/6Ae6oDKhqiE)\\n\\n## Software\\n\\n- Airpath Components PDF [Source](https://www.qitech.de/en/industries)\\n- Airpath 3D Printed Parts ZIP [Source](https://www.qitech.de/en/industries)\\n- Assembly video tutorial [Source](https://youtu.be/6Ae6oDKhqiE)\\n- Qitech support portal [Source](https://www.qitech.de/en/industries)\",\n \"references\": \"## YouTube\\n\\n- [JARVIS Airpath Assembly Tutorial](https://youtu.be/6Ae6oDKhqiE)\\n\\n## Articles\\n\\n- [Qitech Industries](https://www.qitech.de/en/industries)\"\n }\n}","ccc0f8b0c8347468","make-a-face-shield-with-a-pet-bottle",{"id":17428,"data":17430,"filePath":17428,"digest":17671},{"slug":17428,"id":17428,"title":17431,"type":407,"components":17432,"item":17433,"config":17670},"Make a Face Shield with a PET bottle",[],{"_id":17434,"_contentModifiedTimestamp":17435,"category":17436,"description":17437,"total_downloads":67,"cover_image":17438,"fileLink":19,"mentions":17445,"steps":17446,"title":17431,"id":17434,"_deleted":412,"time":1134,"_created":17590,"files":17591,"_modified":17592,"tags":17593,"moderation":536,"votedUsefulBy":17594,"total_views":17595,"_createdBy":17596,"previousSlugs":17597,"caption":17598,"comments":17599,"slug":17428,"difficulty_level":638,"creatorCountry":19,"user":17600,"content":17666,"keywords":17667,"resources":17668,"references":17669},"ZGYfBXvITkRwSzcPRbHX","2023-02-08T15:33:59.219Z",{"_modified":1585,"_created":1585,"_deleted":412,"_id":1586,"label":1584},"Amid a global shortage of protective equipment, individuals with access to a 3D printer can assist by producing face shields for frontline workers.

Cut four hexagons with 1.30 in sides. Drill three corner holes in each hexagon. In the first, drill a central hexagon with 0.39 in sides. In the second, drill a 0.20 in center hole. In the third, drill a 0.89 in center hole. In the fourth, drill a 0.31 in center hole. Cut three M5 and one M8 threaded rods to 5.91 in. Cut the cylinder to the required length (4.37 in). Make an M8 x 0.79 threaded hole at the center of one cylinder end.\n\nCut two squares measuring 120 x 120 mm (4.72 x 4.72 inches) from the metal sheet. Drill holes in the four corners with a diameter of 4.3 mm (0.17 inches). Outline the desired pedal shape on one square face. Drill the injection hole at your chosen location, with a recommended diameter of 5 mm (0.2 inches), ideally centered.\n\nCut a metal band of 26 mm (1.02 inches) height and a minimum of 300 mm (11.81 inches) length, and another band of 26 mm (1.02 inches) height by at least 340 mm (13.39 inches) length.

The 3D model is available for download to customize your own version.\\n\\n- Injection machine \\n- Angle grinder (cutting and grinding discs) \\n- Vise \\n- Flat file, round file (optional: small rotary tool like a Proxxon or Dremel) \\n- Drill press \\n- Clamps (at least 3) \\n- Welding machine (for pedals) and welding attire \\n- Radius scriber (or a marker) \\n- Safety glasses \\n- Respirator with A1 P1 filter \\n- Safety gloves \\n- Ear protection \\n- Sandpaper (grit around 80) (optional: electric sander) \\n- Measuring tape \\n- Square edge \\n- M6, M8 thread tap \\n- Drill bit sizes: 4.3 mm (3/16 in), 6.4 mm (1/4 in), 6.8 mm (17/64 in), 8.4 mm (21/64 in), 11 mm (7/16 in), 20 mm (25/32 in), 22.5 mm (7/8 in) (substitute with round file if 22.5 mm unavailable) \\n- Tweezers (optional, for ball bearings assembly)\\n\\nPlastic materials: Experiments were conducted with polystyrene (PS) and polyethylene (PE). PS appears stronger, but due to the availability of only black PS, PE was used for the presented objects. The pedal has a volume of 8.85 in³ (145 cm³), and the grip is 5.13 in³ (84 cm³).\\n\\nComponents for Grips:\\n\\n- Metal Tube: Internal diameter should match the desired grip size; larger diameters offer better comfort. Selected diameter: 1.38 in (35 mm). Length should match desired grip length minus 0.12 in (3 mm). Example: For two grips of 5.12 in (130 mm) each, actual length is 5 in (127 mm).\\n- Metal Sheet: Steel, 0.16 in (4 mm) thick; dimensions 7.09 x 2.36 in (180 x 60 mm).\\n- Threaded Rod: M6 x 17.72 in (450 mm); M8 x 5.91 in (150 mm).\\n- Nuts: 6 units, M6.\\n- Metal Cylinder: Diameter of 0.88 in (22.3 mm), length of 4.37 in (111 mm). Standard handlebars are 0.87 in (22 mm) in diameter, so choose slightly larger.\\n- Bolt: M8 x 0.79 in (20 mm).\\n- Washer: M20.\\n- Nut: M8.\\n\\n- Metal sheet (steel 0.16 in thick; 4.72 x 9.45 in; 1.02 x 27.56 in)\\n- Welding rod (0.08 or 0.12 in)\\n- 3 bolts M6 x 10 (any size is suitable with the corresponding drill bits)\\n- 2 pedal axles with ball bearings, washers, and nuts\\n- Wood (optional for positioning during welding) (pedal size)\\n- 4 bolts and nuts M4 x 40 (only length required)\\n- 24 setscrews M6 x 8\\n\\nCut the tube to the desired grip length (5.12 in). Cut four hexagons with 1.30 in sides. Drill three corner holes in each hexagon. In the first, drill a central hexagon with 0.39 in sides. In the second, drill a 0.20 in center hole. In the third, drill a 0.89 in center hole. In the fourth, drill a 0.31 in center hole. Cut three M5 and one M8 threaded rods to 5.91 in. Cut the cylinder to the required length (4.37 in). Make an M8 x 0.79 threaded hole at the center of one cylinder end.\\n\\nCut two squares measuring 120 x 120 mm (4.72 x 4.72 inches) from the metal sheet. Drill holes in the four corners with a diameter of 4.3 mm (0.17 inches). Outline the desired pedal shape on one square face. Drill the injection hole at your chosen location, with a recommended diameter of 5 mm (0.2 inches), ideally centered.\\n\\nCut a metal band of 26 mm (1.02 inches) height and a minimum of 300 mm (11.81 inches) length, and another band of 26 mm (1.02 inches) height by at least 340 mm (13.39 inches) length. From the 300 mm band, cut segments of 15.6 mm (0.61 inches) (2 pieces); 24 mm (0.94 inches) (2 pieces); 18 mm (0.71 inches) (2 pieces); 33 mm (1.30 inches) (2 pieces); and 25 mm (0.98 inches) (2 pieces). Cut one piece measuring 43.4 mm (1.71 inches).\\n\\nFrom the 340 mm band, cut 40 mm (1.57 inches) (2 pieces); 56 mm (2.20 inches) (4 pieces); and 27.7 mm (1.09 inches) (1 piece).\\n\\nAdditionally, cut six small pieces measuring 5 x 10 mm (0.20 x 0.39 inches) to wedge the mold parts. For the triangle and trapezoid center, cut two pieces of 25 x 7 mm (0.98 x 0.28 inches) and one piece of 4 x 35 mm (0.16 x 1.38 inches).\\n\\n### Welding Instructions\\n\\nBefore welding, sand each vertical face of the wooden parts (triangle, trapezoids, and pedal) at an angle of approximately 2 degrees to facilitate extraction. I used a sanding machine for this task.\\n\\nTo weld the pedal perimeter, clamp the wooden pedal on your welding surface and secure the edges you plan to weld. Repeat this process with the other parts, ensuring they remain flat against the ground. My initial arc welding attempt yielded less than perfect results, but this only increases the grinding duration.\\n\\n1. Turn on the heater.\\n2. Assemble the cylinder with the base hexagon (No. 4).\\n3. Insert the three threaded rods.\\n4. Place the washer around the cylinder.\\n5. Attach the tube.\\n6. Install the top hexagon with the injection hole (No. 2).\\n7. Add the top hexagon with a hexagonal hole (No. 1).\\n8. Secure with nuts.\\n9. Fill the machine with plastic.\\n10. Wait for 5 minutes.\\n11. Inject.\\n\\nRemove the grip using the M8 threaded rod and nut.\\n\\nHeat the machine (temperature conversion: enter desired temperature in °C or °F).\\nFill with old plastic (material volume conversion: kg to lb or vice versa).\\nInject.\\nOpen the mold.\\n\\nEnsure the pedal is firmly positioned in the jig. Attach an 11 mm (7/16 inch) drill bit, aligning it with the pedal center. Secure the jig to the drill and completely drill through the pedal. Switch to a 20 mm (3/4 inch) drill bit and drill 8 mm (5/16 inch) deep on the bike side of the pedal. Flip the pedal and drill 15 mm (5/8 inch) deep on the outer part, measuring from the flat face.\",\n \"keywords\": \"Mold creation, injection molding, 3D model download, metal fabrication, welding

Design your desired shapes based on the types and sizes of cords you plan to use, ensuring the bead hole is approximately 3% larger than the cord. Align bead holes vertically with the mould's detachment line. All beads are bisected at their center except the star-shaped one, which requires a dowel pin for the hole, due to CNC machine limits when placed vertically.\n\nThere are 16 bead cavities in the mold, with the quantity based on the barrel capacity. Adjust the bead count per mold to balance the plastic mass according to flow direction. The components are CNC-milled from two aluminum blocks, comprising three pieces: top and bottom aluminum parts, and a dowel pin for the star bead. The top part connects to a bronze nipple (1/2 inch NPT).\n\nTools needed: Gloves, Mask, 17 mm (0.67 in) Wrench, 4 mm (0.16 in) Allen Wrench \nMachines needed: Injection Machine, Shredder (or Shredded Plastics) \n\nEnsure the mold is clean.

Follow these steps to make your own!\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Bangkok, Thailand\\n\\nTo create various bead sizes and shapes, a mould with balanced cavities is necessary. Design your desired shapes based on the types and sizes of cords you plan to use, ensuring the bead hole is approximately 3% larger than the cord. Align bead holes vertically with the mould's detachment line. All beads are bisected at their center except the star-shaped one, which requires a dowel pin for the hole, due to CNC machine limits when placed vertically.\\n\\nThere are 16 bead cavities in the mold, with the quantity based on the barrel capacity. Adjust the bead count per mold to balance the plastic mass according to flow direction. The components are CNC-milled from two aluminum blocks, comprising three pieces: top and bottom aluminum parts, and a dowel pin for the star bead. The top part connects to a bronze nipple (1/2 inch NPT).\\n\\nTools needed: Gloves, Mask, 17 mm (0.67 in) Wrench, 4 mm (0.16 in) Allen Wrench \\nMachines needed: Injection Machine, Shredder (or Shredded Plastics) \\n\\nEnsure the mold is clean. Place the dowel pin in the star shape and align the top and bottom parts using the guide pin. Insert M10 bolts at the four corners and two counter-bore bolts in the center holes. Proceed with injection.\\n\\n### Injection Molding Process\\n\\n1. **Prepare the Machine**\\n - Place shredded plastic into the injection machine.\\n - Set the temperature to the appropriate melting point for your plastic type.\\n\\n2. **Heat and Inject**\\n - Heat the machine, ensuring the handle remains down to apply pressure.\\n - Lift the handle and position your mold in the injector.\\n - **Safety First**: Wear a protective mask and gloves.\\n\\n3. **Inject the Plastic**\\n - Pull down the handle forcefully to inject the melted plastic into the mold.\\n - Maintain pressure for approximately one minute, adjusting the time based on the plastic type used.\\n\\nLift the bar slightly and remove the mold. Ensure the injection is closed to prevent plastic from dripping. Unscrew all bolts and use a slotted screwdriver to open the mold along the marks. Tap the plastic out from the back through the nozzle connector, ensuring it is sufficiently cooled, and remove the dowel pin.\\n\\nCut all excess parts with pliers, then proceed with your creations.\",\n \"keywords\": \"mini beads mold, jewelry making, CNC milling, injection molding, bead shapes, aluminum mold, Bangkok Thailand, DIY mold tutorial, craft supplies, mold design\",\n \"resources\": \"### Tools\\n\\n- Safety gloves (~~[example](https://example.com/gloves)~~)\\n- Protective mask (~~[example](https://example.com/mask)~~)\\n- 17 mm wrench (~~[example](https://example.com/wrench17mm)~~)\\n- 4 mm Allen wrench (~~[example](https://example.com/allen4mm)~~)\\n- Slotted screwdriver (~~[example](https://example.com/screwdriver)~~)\\n\\n### Hardware\\n\\n- Injection molding machine (~~[example](https://example.com/injection)~~)\\n- Plastic shredder (~~[example](https://example.com/shredder)~~)\\n- CNC milling machine (~~[example](https://example.com/cnc)~~)\\n- Aluminum blocks (for mold components)\\n- Dowel pin (for star-shaped bead)\\n\\n### Software\\n\\n- CAD software (e.g., Fusion 360, ~~[link](https://example.com/cad)~~)\\n- CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, ~~[link](https://example.com/cam)~~)\",\n \"references\": \"## Articles\\n\\n- [How to make silicone focal beads? - Beadable Bliss](https://www.beadablebliss.com/blogs/info/how-to-make-silicone-focal-beads)\\n- [How to make silicone beads? - Beadable Bliss](https://www.beadablebliss.com/blogs/info/how-to-make-silicone-beads)\\n- [Make Silicone Molds from Charms - The Blue Bottle Tree](https://thebluebottletree.com/make-silicone-molds-charms/)\\n- [Lentil Bead Molds - Instructions - Glass With A Past](https://glasswithapast.com/knowledgebase/lentil-bead-molds-instuctions/)\\n- [ABS Injection Molding Manufacturing Factory - ZetarMold](https://zetarmold.com/abs-injection-molding-guide/)\\n- [Ultimate Guide to Injection Molding | RapidDirect](https://www.rapiddirect.com/blog/ultimate-guide-to-injection-molding/)\\n- [EPP Molding Process: The Ultimate Guide 2024 - Epsole](https://epsole.com/epp-molding-process/)\\n- [Plastic Colorants Guide for Injection Molded Parts - RevPart](https://revpart.com/using-plastic-colorants/)\\n\\n## YouTube\\n\\n- [Basic Mould Making - Beads and Spheres - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFVYjzoqxcQ)\\n\\n## Open Source Designs\\n\\n- Premium Mould #3 - Bead Mould (3 Sizes) - Precious Plastic\\n- [DIY Injection Molding - Instructables](https://www.instructables.com/DIY-Injection-Molding/)\\n- [Beadifier - Create bead project from Image - GitHub](https://github.com/maxcleme/beadifier)\\n- [Cocksmithing: Silicone Mold-Making - GitHub](https://github.com/starkatt/Cocksmithing/blob/main/cocksmithing.md)\"\n }\n}","3f80f21d2f3bf408","make-a-camicleta",{"id":18625,"data":18627,"filePath":18625,"digest":18764},{"slug":18625,"id":18625,"title":18628,"type":407,"components":18629,"item":18630,"config":18763},"Make a \"camicleta\"",[],{"_modified":18631,"steps":18632,"time":423,"total_downloads":128,"slug":18625,"total_views":10996,"title":18628,"creatorCountry":3808,"description":18742,"_id":18743,"comments":18744,"cover_image":18745,"_createdBy":5407,"tags":18752,"_contentModifiedTimestamp":18753,"_deleted":412,"files":18754,"votedUsefulBy":18755,"moderation":536,"previousSlugs":18756,"_created":18753,"difficulty_level":425,"fileLink":19,"mentions":18757,"user":5510,"category":18758,"content":18759,"keywords":18760,"resources":18761,"references":18762},"2023-10-18T19:11:21.239Z",[18633,18651,18662,18673,18685,18697,18716],{"title":18634,"images":18635,"_animationKey":458,"text":18650},"Cut the sheets",[18636,18643],{"timeCreated":18637,"contentType":433,"downloadUrl":18638,"size":18639,"updated":18637,"fullPath":18640,"type":433,"name":18641,"src":18642,"alt":18641},"2023-08-18T13:40:01.960Z","https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2Fbg6KtnjMRIfTNcQFE204%2F1-18a08d34547.jpg?alt=media&token=5adc8e0a-0dbf-4a01-a7f8-e004779f0b19",75342,"uploads/howtos/bg6KtnjMRIfTNcQFE204/1-18a08d34547.jpg","1-18a08d34547.jpg","C:\\Users\\zx\\Desktop\\osr\\osr-machines\\howtos\\make-a-camicleta\\1-18a08d34547.jpg",{"timeCreated":18644,"fullPath":18645,"updated":18644,"name":18646,"type":433,"size":18647,"contentType":433,"downloadUrl":18648,"src":18649,"alt":18646},"2023-08-18T13:40:02.275Z","uploads/howtos/bg6KtnjMRIfTNcQFE204/camicleArtboard 33 copy 3-100-18a08d369e3.jpg","camicleArtboard 33 copy 3-100-18a08d369e3.jpg",170804,"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2Fbg6KtnjMRIfTNcQFE204%2FcamicleArtboard%2033%20copy%203-100-18a08d369e3.jpg?alt=media&token=124b45d3-bfae-4223-8e98-46f05cf8a717","C:\\Users\\zx\\Desktop\\osr\\osr-machines\\howtos\\make-a-camicleta\\camicleartboard_33_copy_3-100-18a08d369e3.jpg","Using a CNC router, cut and create recesses in the two sheets as specified in the attached file.

Our efforts in 2021 and beyond include designing handicap-accessible methods and activities that make helping the planet more fun! We have been clipping (and will soon be shredding) the least-recyclable varieties of single-use plastics to create colorful EcoBricks. Our plastic-packed bottle-shaped bricks will be used for building decorative playhouses and puppet-scapes, and for making Expo Booth Decor for use at our Eco-Carnival Game & Craft Activities Outreach & Fundraiser Days. Our games include a Wishing-Well bottlecap pitch, and a Ring-A-BottleBrick toss, among others; where donors win pre-loved-plush prizes for their contributions and participation. Our crafts activities include packing colorful 'Bottled (P)sand Art' granules and flakes using safe and handicap-assistive bottle-packing devices. We provide our Eco-Carnival activities at local Youth and Elder Maker-Outreach days, and while visiting select Eldercare Facilities and Senior Communities to provide recreation, entertainment, and gentle fitness interactions.\",\n \"services\": [\n {\n \"welding\": false,\n \"assembling\": false,\n \"machining\": false,\n \"electronics\": false,\n \"molds\": false\n }\n ],\n \"title\": \"Helpertunity's Eco-Carnival\",\n \"images\": []\n }\n },\n \"content\": \"For many years, our organization has participated in local expos and fairs through a \\\"Carnival Game Booth\\\" concept instead of selling handcrafted items.

This creates a comfortable buffer against the forehead.\\n\\n3. **Secure the Elastic Band**: Attach the elastic band to the ends of the transparent sheet. Ensure it stretches comfortably around the head.\\n\\n4. **Final Assembly**: Verify all components are securely attached. Adjust the elastic band as necessary for a snug fit.\\n\\nThe face shield is now ready for use.

(artisan of plastic, web design and community manager) creators of Menor Plastic.Menor Plastic is a recycling and environmental awareness project in the community of Murcia Spain. We started in June 2019 and we have two machines, a crusher and an extruder. We have learned to make several objects and we are enrolled in a craft market where we sell them. We participate with several associations in the area, cleaning beaches and providing donations for the conservation of our Mar Menor.

Cut three strips measuring 21.65 inches (55 cm), 15.75 inches (40 cm), and 11.02 inches (28 cm). For the protective screen, repurpose an old folder.\\n\\n[Watch the tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTiQqPFE9vs)\\n\\n\\nUser Location: San Javier, Spain\\n\\nWe use the extruder to create strips for the mask. If you lack an extruder, utilize a bag strap or an old belt. For the screen, an old folder's transparent section will be cut and attached to the structure.\\n\\nCreate a strip measuring 55 cm (21.65 inches) in length and 1 cm (0.39 inches) in width using the extruder. Once cooled, wrap it around the head to mark the closure point. Use an old folder for the screen by cutting out its transparent part and attaching it to the structure.\\n\\nMake two holes to thread a string and close it. We used a fishing line found on the beach.\\n\\nCreate two strips: one measuring 15.75 inches (40 cm) and the other 11 inches (28 cm). The 15.75-inch strip will display the mask, while the 11-inch strip will help secure the mask to the head. Holes in both strips will facilitate their attachment.\\n\\nThe structure will be assembled using the three strips, and the screen will be attached with a tie or bridle.\\n\\n# Face Shield Creation Guide\\n\\nThis guide will instruct you on how to create a face shield. Follow the steps carefully to ensure successful assembly.\\n\\n### Necessary Materials\\n\\n- Transparent sheet (e.g., PET plastic): 0.5 mm (0.02 in) thick\\n- Elastic band: 30 cm (12 in) long\\n- Foam strip: 1.5 cm x 3 cm (0.6 in x 1.2 in)\\n- Stapler or adhesive\\n\\n### Instructions\\n\\n1. **Prepare the Shield**: Cut the transparent sheet to cover the face adequately, ensuring it is 25 cm (10 in) high and 30 cm (12 in) wide.\\n\\n2. **Attach the Foam**: Secure the foam strip to the top edge of the transparent sheet. This creates a comfortable buffer against the forehead.\\n\\n3. **Secure the Elastic Band**: Attach the elastic band to the ends of the transparent sheet. Ensure it stretches comfortably around the head.\\n\\n4. **Final Assembly**: Verify all components are securely attached. Adjust the elastic band as necessary for a snug fit.\\n\\nThe face shield is now ready for use.

Allow the poured concrete to set for 90 minutes to support the weight of additional pours, minimizing the risk of a blowout.","https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo0ZTgck9ic",[],{"images":19184,"_animationKey":19206,"text":19207,"title":19208},[19185,19192,19199],{"size":19186,"type":433,"timeCreated":19187,"name":19188,"contentType":433,"downloadUrl":19189,"fullPath":19190,"updated":19187,"src":19191,"alt":19188},196288,"2023-04-07T05:23:00.816Z","IMG_20230318_163607-1875a26fcb8.jpg","https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2F2ao4BEt1U6tvLhvWrPfT%2FIMG_20230318_163607-1875a26fcb8.jpg?alt=media&token=49a453cf-c94b-4b8d-ac93-94b494d9f3d0","uploads/howtos/2ao4BEt1U6tvLhvWrPfT/IMG_20230318_163607-1875a26fcb8.jpg","C:\\Users\\zx\\Desktop\\osr\\osr-machines\\howtos\\modular-interconnecting-formwork\\img_20230318_163607-1875a26fcb8.jpg",{"updated":19193,"name":19194,"type":433,"contentType":433,"timeCreated":19193,"fullPath":19195,"size":19196,"downloadUrl":19197,"src":19198,"alt":19194},"2023-04-07T05:23:00.661Z","IMG_20230318_185816-1875a273894.jpg","uploads/howtos/2ao4BEt1U6tvLhvWrPfT/IMG_20230318_185816-1875a273894.jpg",204350,"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2F2ao4BEt1U6tvLhvWrPfT%2FIMG_20230318_185816-1875a273894.jpg?alt=media&token=1bca2e1c-a40c-468a-9952-c2552ae5f679","C:\\Users\\zx\\Desktop\\osr\\osr-machines\\howtos\\modular-interconnecting-formwork\\img_20230318_185816-1875a273894.jpg",{"downloadUrl":19200,"timeCreated":19201,"updated":19201,"name":19202,"fullPath":19203,"type":433,"size":19204,"contentType":433,"src":19205,"alt":19202},"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2F2ao4BEt1U6tvLhvWrPfT%2FIMG_20230318_190843-1875a274875.jpg?alt=media&token=51365320-ee7b-45dd-b772-26abb3d48d1e","2023-04-07T05:23:01.754Z","IMG_20230318_190843-1875a274875.jpg","uploads/howtos/2ao4BEt1U6tvLhvWrPfT/IMG_20230318_190843-1875a274875.jpg",269148,"C:\\Users\\zx\\Desktop\\osr\\osr-machines\\howtos\\modular-interconnecting-formwork\\img_20230318_190843-1875a274875.jpg","uniquecuzk4","Once the initial concrete pour begins to harden, increase the frequency of subsequent pours.

Formwork acts as a mold for poured materials, and in this method, the bricks serve as a detachable and reusable tool for creating these forms.\n\n\nUser Location: Melbourne, Australia\n\nFormwork is employed to create frames for pouring concrete, rammed earth, or other materials in the construction industry. Traditionally made from wood, they can be constructed from recycled plastic as well.\n\nIt is advisable to begin with small-scale projects to understand the process, iterating and expanding upon your ideas as you progress. The costs can vary significantly depending on the specifics of your project.\n\nExisting brick designs, combined with thin sheets, enable the commencement of formworking. Mould drawings for bricks optimized for formworking are available at the specified link, and a guide on machining these will be provided soon.\n\n### Equipment and Skills Needed\n\n- Hearing and eye protection\n- Safety boots\n- Dust mask\n- Power tool operation skills, particularly with drills\n- Safety induction in construction for your area\n- Experience in mixing and pouring concrete\n\n### Materials Required\n\n- Bricks for formwork\n- Cement, sand, and aggregate\n- Building design drawings \n- Impact driver and drill\n- Masonry drill bits (optional masonry drill)\n- Self-tapping timber screws\n- Reinforcing bar (rebar)*\n- Rebar ties and tie tool\n- Starter bars with safety caps\n- Anchoring adhesive and application gun\n- Concrete mixer and plastic tubs\n- Shovels for concrete\n- Steel brackets**\n- Concrete vibrator\n- Trowel\n- Hot glue gun and glue sticks\n- Stringline, chalk, or construction spray paint\n- Tape measure\n- Wire brush\n\n\\* To cut rebar, a reciprocating saw or grinder is recommended.\n\n\\** Secure steel brackets using timber screws, formwork stakes, or powder-actuated fasteners.\n\nTo mark where your wall will be built, use chalk, stringline, or spray paint and a diagram of your structure. We used green paint for marking.\n\nDrill holes in the slab to the depth specified by your anchoring adhesive. Clear the holes of concrete dust. Inject the adhesive, then install starter bars, following adhesive instructions carefully. Wait up to 24 hours for the adhesive to set, and cover unattended starter bars with safety caps.\n\nIf necessary, install additional rebar using rebar ties and a rebar tie tool.\n\nFollowing the outline marked in step #5, lay bricks in rows. For large seams between bricks, fill with hot glue while assembling the formwork. Use a trowel and a pipe to clean the glue in the seams. Alternatively, cover the bricks with a thin sheet, which can be taped to the bricks. It does not need to be strongly secured, as the concrete will press it against the bricks when poured.\n\nInstallation methods will vary based on your site, but consider small steel brackets for securing formwork. Attach brackets to either timber or concrete slabs. This setup prevents formwork from lifting and stabilizes bricks against outward pressure from poured concrete.\n\nEnsure each ground-level brick is supported from behind on the concrete-facing side. Secure at least every third brick to the ground to prevent uplift. Bricks in the top row should be linked to neighboring bricks, as these rows lack the interlocking support provided by other positions.\n\nAlternatives to steel brackets include using simple chocks placed against the concrete-facing surface.\n\nBefore pouring concrete, inspect your formwork for potential issues. Improperly secured bricks, large seams, and misalignment can lead to failure. Concrete blowouts are dangerous and difficult to stop due to the mass of the material.\n\nOnce your formwork is secure, arrange your concrete mixer and ingredients for easy pouring. Ensure you have sufficient time to complete the pour before beginning.\n\nTo begin, mix enough concrete to construct around 0.8-1.6 inches (20-40mm) of your wall. Place it into the formwork, ensuring it reaches the corners. Check the outer side of the formwork for any concrete leakage at the bottom. Mix and pour slowly, monitoring the base of your form until you reach approximately 6 inches (150mm) above ground level. At this stage, you have overcome the initial major challenge. Allow the poured concrete to set for 90 minutes to support the weight of additional pours, minimizing the risk of a blowout.\n\nOnce the initial concrete pour begins to harden, increase the frequency of subsequent pours. Continuously inspect the formwork as the height increases. In our instance, we poured approximately 60 liters (15.85 gallons) of concrete every 30 minutes after the initial section, ensuring air pockets were vibrated out. Using rapid-set cement could allow for a faster pace, but this is not recommended for beginners as it might set before proper vibration or complicate repairs in the event of a mishap.\n\nUpon reaching the top of the formwork, use a trowel to smooth the surface. Edging tools can be used to create bevels on the wall's corners.\n\nOnce the concrete becomes a lighter grey, it is nearing readiness for formwork removal. We waited 36 hours to ensure it was sufficiently set, but consult the cement manufacturer's specifications and consider ambient temperature, as this affects setting speed. When uncertain, allow more time before proceeding.\n\nTo demold, begin by undoing fasteners on the top layer and remove the bracing. Bricks can be removed by gently rocking them to lift them off the underlying teeth. Hot glue, if used, will break off easily.\n\nIn some cases, seams may not be adequately filled with hot glue, allowing concrete to seep in. To prevent this, clean the bricks immediately after demoulding, as the concrete will still be weak and crumbly. Wear safety glasses and use a wire brush for cleaning.\n\nIf you've made holes in your bricks, fill them with a hot glue gun using the same plastic you used for the bricks. It's advisable to do this on-site to avoid forgetting to check for cavities later.\n\nMaintain a tidy construction site, as leftover hazards can affect future work. Clean your tools and materials after finishing.\n\nAdditionally, remember any important tasks relevant to your situation.","plastic bricks, concrete formwork, construction methods, reusable formwork, DIY construction, formwork materials, building with bricks, concrete pouring guide, sustainable construction, Melbourne construction","## Tools\n\n- Impact driver and drill\n- Masonry drill bits (optional masonry drill)\n- Reciprocating saw or grinder (rebar cutting)\n- Concrete mixer and plastic tubs\n- Hot glue gun\n\n## Software\n\n*Not specified in the tutorial.*\n\n## Hardware\n\n- Plastic formwork bricks (~~[designs referenced in tutorial](link)~~)\n- Self-tapping timber screws\n- Reinforcing bar (rebar) with ties/starter bars\n- Anchoring adhesive and application gun\n- Steel brackets (with timber screws or powder-actuated fasteners)\n\n*Note: Links for mould drawings and machining guides were mentioned in the original tutorial text but not explicitly provided.*","## Articles\n\n- [ETH zurich's reusable formwork uses less concrete and steel in construction](https://www.designboom.com/architecture/eth-zurich-lightweight-reusable-formwork-system-reduces-concrete-steel-construction-02-19-2025/)\n\n## Books\n\n- [Concrete & Formwork](https://craftsman-book.com/concrete-formwork)\n\n## Papers\n\n- [A Review of Plastic Bricks as a Construction Material](https://www.nepjol.info/index.php/ocemjmtss/article/view/54232)\n- [A Review of Plastic Bricks as a Construction Material (IJTSRD)](https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd67061.pdf)\n- ~~[A Review of Plastic Bricks as a Construction Material (Oxford College)](https://www.journal.oxfordcollege.edu.np/article/a-review-of-plastic-bricks-as-a-construction-material)~~\n\n## YouTube\n\n- [These Recycled Plastic Bricks Are Stronger Than Concrete](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DHa7V3ueko)\n- [Forming Concrete with Plastic Forms](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK7qBFYau6U)\n\n## Open-source Designs\n\n- Modular Interconnecting Formwork\n\n## Patents\n\n- [US20120047833A1 - Building bricks including plastics](https://patents.google.com/patent/US20120047833A1/en)","{\n \"slug\": \"modular-interconnecting-formwork\",\n \"id\": \"modular-interconnecting-formwork\",\n \"title\": \"Modular Interconnecting Formwork\",\n \"type\": \"howto\",\n \"components\": [],\n \"item\": {\n \"description\": \"### Tutorial on Using Plastic Bricks for Concrete Formwork\\n\\nThis guide outlines the general process of using plastic bricks to construct a concrete formwork.

Formwork acts as a mold for poured materials, and in this method, the bricks serve as a detachable and reusable tool for creating these forms.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Melbourne, Australia\\n\\nFormwork is employed to create frames for pouring concrete, rammed earth, or other materials in the construction industry. Traditionally made from wood, they can be constructed from recycled plastic as well.\\n\\nIt is advisable to begin with small-scale projects to understand the process, iterating and expanding upon your ideas as you progress. The costs can vary significantly depending on the specifics of your project.\\n\\nExisting brick designs, combined with thin sheets, enable the commencement of formworking. Mould drawings for bricks optimized for formworking are available at the specified link, and a guide on machining these will be provided soon.\\n\\n### Equipment and Skills Needed\\n\\n- Hearing and eye protection\\n- Safety boots\\n- Dust mask\\n- Power tool operation skills, particularly with drills\\n- Safety induction in construction for your area\\n- Experience in mixing and pouring concrete\\n\\n### Materials Required\\n\\n- Bricks for formwork\\n- Cement, sand, and aggregate\\n- Building design drawings \\n- Impact driver and drill\\n- Masonry drill bits (optional masonry drill)\\n- Self-tapping timber screws\\n- Reinforcing bar (rebar)*\\n- Rebar ties and tie tool\\n- Starter bars with safety caps\\n- Anchoring adhesive and application gun\\n- Concrete mixer and plastic tubs\\n- Shovels for concrete\\n- Steel brackets**\\n- Concrete vibrator\\n- Trowel\\n- Hot glue gun and glue sticks\\n- Stringline, chalk, or construction spray paint\\n- Tape measure\\n- Wire brush\\n\\n\\\\* To cut rebar, a reciprocating saw or grinder is recommended.\\n\\n\\\\** Secure steel brackets using timber screws, formwork stakes, or powder-actuated fasteners.\\n\\nTo mark where your wall will be built, use chalk, stringline, or spray paint and a diagram of your structure. We used green paint for marking.\\n\\nDrill holes in the slab to the depth specified by your anchoring adhesive. Clear the holes of concrete dust. Inject the adhesive, then install starter bars, following adhesive instructions carefully. Wait up to 24 hours for the adhesive to set, and cover unattended starter bars with safety caps.\\n\\nIf necessary, install additional rebar using rebar ties and a rebar tie tool.\\n\\nFollowing the outline marked in step #5, lay bricks in rows. For large seams between bricks, fill with hot glue while assembling the formwork. Use a trowel and a pipe to clean the glue in the seams. Alternatively, cover the bricks with a thin sheet, which can be taped to the bricks. It does not need to be strongly secured, as the concrete will press it against the bricks when poured.\\n\\nInstallation methods will vary based on your site, but consider small steel brackets for securing formwork. Attach brackets to either timber or concrete slabs. This setup prevents formwork from lifting and stabilizes bricks against outward pressure from poured concrete.\\n\\nEnsure each ground-level brick is supported from behind on the concrete-facing side. Secure at least every third brick to the ground to prevent uplift. Bricks in the top row should be linked to neighboring bricks, as these rows lack the interlocking support provided by other positions.\\n\\nAlternatives to steel brackets include using simple chocks placed against the concrete-facing surface.\\n\\nBefore pouring concrete, inspect your formwork for potential issues. Improperly secured bricks, large seams, and misalignment can lead to failure. Concrete blowouts are dangerous and difficult to stop due to the mass of the material.\\n\\nOnce your formwork is secure, arrange your concrete mixer and ingredients for easy pouring. Ensure you have sufficient time to complete the pour before beginning.\\n\\nTo begin, mix enough concrete to construct around 0.8-1.6 inches (20-40mm) of your wall. Place it into the formwork, ensuring it reaches the corners. Check the outer side of the formwork for any concrete leakage at the bottom. Mix and pour slowly, monitoring the base of your form until you reach approximately 6 inches (150mm) above ground level. At this stage, you have overcome the initial major challenge. Allow the poured concrete to set for 90 minutes to support the weight of additional pours, minimizing the risk of a blowout.\\n\\nOnce the initial concrete pour begins to harden, increase the frequency of subsequent pours. Continuously inspect the formwork as the height increases. In our instance, we poured approximately 60 liters (15.85 gallons) of concrete every 30 minutes after the initial section, ensuring air pockets were vibrated out. Using rapid-set cement could allow for a faster pace, but this is not recommended for beginners as it might set before proper vibration or complicate repairs in the event of a mishap.\\n\\nUpon reaching the top of the formwork, use a trowel to smooth the surface. Edging tools can be used to create bevels on the wall's corners.\\n\\nOnce the concrete becomes a lighter grey, it is nearing readiness for formwork removal. We waited 36 hours to ensure it was sufficiently set, but consult the cement manufacturer's specifications and consider ambient temperature, as this affects setting speed. When uncertain, allow more time before proceeding.\\n\\nTo demold, begin by undoing fasteners on the top layer and remove the bracing. Bricks can be removed by gently rocking them to lift them off the underlying teeth. Hot glue, if used, will break off easily.\\n\\nIn some cases, seams may not be adequately filled with hot glue, allowing concrete to seep in. To prevent this, clean the bricks immediately after demoulding, as the concrete will still be weak and crumbly. Wear safety glasses and use a wire brush for cleaning.\\n\\nIf you've made holes in your bricks, fill them with a hot glue gun using the same plastic you used for the bricks.

How-To Guide for Upgrading Your Injection Machine and Molds\n\nImprove the speed, safety, and efficiency of your injection process by upgrading your machine and molds. For any injection mold with a threaded connection to the machine nozzle, simply install a brass garden hose connector.\n\nThe injection machine effectively highlights plastic issues and illustrates the recycling process. However, for high-volume production, it can be slow and challenging.\n\nHere are the primary issues:\n\n- Molds are difficult to attach; they often clog with molten plastic, complicating assembly and necessitating cleaning after each cycle.\n- Unmolding is time-consuming; threaded mold connectors create undercuts, complicating unmolding.\n\nThe upgrade system must accomplish the following:\n\n1. Enable single-movement mold attachment and detachment\n2. Improve operator comfort\n3. Minimize production waste\n4. Allow use with gloves\n5. Reduce cycle time\n6. Eliminate the need for cleaning between cycles\n\nUsing a brass garden hose connector, found at garden and home improvement stores, can facilitate efficient mold connection.\n\nYou'll need:\n\n- 1 x 1-inch female brass garden hose connector with external threads\n- 2 x 1/2-inch male brass garden hose connector with internal threads (or another size to fit your mold)\n- 1 x 1/2-inch brass endcap\n\nThese items are available at most hardware or gardening stores.\n\n- 14mm (9/16-inch) long piece of M14 threaded rod or 14mm (9/16-inch) diameter round stock (M14 threaded rod is recommended for its suitable diameter, though any 14mm round stock will suffice)\n- 10mm (3/8-inch) drill bit\n- A drill and a vise\n\nNote: Ensure compatibility with your machine and mold; verify dimensions. \n\nMetric to inch equivalents: \n1/2 inch = 15x21 threads\n\nBegin by fabricating a spacer: a cylinder with a 14 mm (0.55 inches) diameter and a 10 mm (0.39 inches) central hole. Refer to the plans below. \n\nAn M14 threaded rod or screw is suitable and commonly available, but a 14 mm (0.55 inches) round stock is also acceptable.\n\nUsing a drill and vise, create the 10 mm (0.39 inches) hole through the spacer.\n\nEnsure the spacer fits well in both the male connector and the 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) adaptor to prevent leakage.\n\n# Modify Your Mold\n\n1. Insert the spacer into the mold's 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) connector, ensuring it fits snugly and occupies most of the empty space.\n2. Attach the male brass connector on top.\n3. Drill through all parts with a 10 mm (0.39 inch) drill bit to enlarge the hole to 10 mm (0.39 inch). Ensure precise drilling to avoid damaging the threads.\n\nRepeat these steps for each mold to fit them all with male connectors for convenience.\n\n# Assemble Your Plug\n\n- Attach the second male connector to the end cap to create your new plug.\n\n# Modify Your Injection Machine\n\n- Remove the current threaded nozzle and replace it with the brass female connector.\n\n1. Prepare your mold and heat the machine.\n\n2. To inject, lift the female connector's exterior ring to remove the plug.\n\n3. Push the mold into the connector, which will latch with a \"click.\"\n\n4. Inject into the mold.\n\n5. To remove, lift the connector ring and extract the mold, then replace the plug.\n\n6. Repeat as necessary.\n\nThis method achieved approximately 15 injections per hour, surpassing previous results.\n\nThe rod fills the void inside the male connector, allowing molten plastic to flow through the 10 mm (0.39 inches) channel. This enables easy removal of the sprue from the mold (see Picture 1).\n\nAttention: Remember the spacer to ensure smooth unmolding (see Picture 2).","injection machine upgrade, mold modification, brass garden hose connector, improve injection efficiency, mold attachment system, quick mold change, reduce production waste, injection molding process, improve operator comfort, plastic injection solutions","### Tools & Equipment\n\n- Drill\n- Vise\n- 10mm (3/8-inch) drill bit\n\n### Hardware Components\n\n- 1-inch female brass garden hose connector (external threads)\n- 2 x 1/2-inch male brass garden hose connectors (internal threads)\n- 1 x 1/2-inch brass endcap\n- 14mm M14 threaded rod or 14mm round stock\n\n### Notes\n\n- Metric to inch equivalents: Use 15x21 threads for 1/2-inch connectors\n- Verify compatibility with your machine and mold dimensions before installation\n- No software required for this mechanical upgrade","## Articles\n\n- [Optimize the Injection Molding Process in 8 Easy Steps](https://www.kaysun.com/blog/steps-to-optimizing-the-injection-molding-process)\n- [Mold and Connector for Injection Molding](https://www.instructables.com/Mold-and-Connector-for-Injection-Molding/)\n- [DIY Injection Molding: How to Mold Plastic Parts In-House](https://formlabs.com/blog/diy-injection-molding/)\n- [A Step by Step Guide to Injection Molding](https://sybridge.com/injection-molding-guide/)\n- [Plastic Injection Molding and Extruding](https://www.instructables.com/Plastic-injection-molding-and-extruding/)\n- [How to Change an Injection Mold](https://zetarmold.com/change-injection-mold/)\n\n## Books\n\n- [Injection Moulding Technique](https://www.empyrealpublishinghouse.com/pdf/book03.pdf)\n\n## Papers\n\n- [Improved Productivity and Efficient Manufacturing Using Injection Molding](https://www.ijraset.com/research-paper/improved-productivity-and-efficient-manufacturing-using-injection-molding)\n\n## YouTube\n\n- [Electronic Connector Production on All-Electric Injection Moulding Machine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ0nsXeAL2s)\n- [How to Use Brass Inserts on 3D Prints](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC1LLU54DKU)\n\n## Open Source Designs\n\n- [Injection Molding Simulation Solver](https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=56446)\n- Injection Machine Quick Connect Upgrade\n- Injection Machine Automatic Connection Upgrade","{\n \"slug\": \"injection-machine-automatic-connection-upgrade-\",\n \"id\": \"injection-machine-automatic-connection-upgrade-\",\n \"title\": \"Injection Machine Automatic Connection Upgrade! \",\n \"type\": \"howto\",\n \"components\": [],\n \"item\": {\n \"steps\": [\n {\n \"_animationKey\": \"unique1\",\n \"text\": \"The injection machine effectively highlights plastic issues and illustrates the recycling process.

For any injection mold with a threaded connection to the machine nozzle, simply install a brass garden hose connector.\\n\\nThe injection machine effectively highlights plastic issues and illustrates the recycling process. However, for high-volume production, it can be slow and challenging.\\n\\nHere are the primary issues:\\n\\n- Molds are difficult to attach; they often clog with molten plastic, complicating assembly and necessitating cleaning after each cycle.\\n- Unmolding is time-consuming; threaded mold connectors create undercuts, complicating unmolding.\\n\\nThe upgrade system must accomplish the following:\\n\\n1. Enable single-movement mold attachment and detachment\\n2. Improve operator comfort\\n3. Minimize production waste\\n4. Allow use with gloves\\n5. Reduce cycle time\\n6. Eliminate the need for cleaning between cycles\\n\\nUsing a brass garden hose connector, found at garden and home improvement stores, can facilitate efficient mold connection.\\n\\nYou'll need:\\n\\n- 1 x 1-inch female brass garden hose connector with external threads\\n- 2 x 1/2-inch male brass garden hose connector with internal threads (or another size to fit your mold)\\n- 1 x 1/2-inch brass endcap\\n\\nThese items are available at most hardware or gardening stores.\\n\\n- 14mm (9/16-inch) long piece of M14 threaded rod or 14mm (9/16-inch) diameter round stock (M14 threaded rod is recommended for its suitable diameter, though any 14mm round stock will suffice)\\n- 10mm (3/8-inch) drill bit\\n- A drill and a vise\\n\\nNote: Ensure compatibility with your machine and mold; verify dimensions. \\n\\nMetric to inch equivalents: \\n1/2 inch = 15x21 threads\\n\\nBegin by fabricating a spacer: a cylinder with a 14 mm (0.55 inches) diameter and a 10 mm (0.39 inches) central hole. Refer to the plans below. \\n\\nAn M14 threaded rod or screw is suitable and commonly available, but a 14 mm (0.55 inches) round stock is also acceptable.\\n\\nUsing a drill and vise, create the 10 mm (0.39 inches) hole through the spacer.\\n\\nEnsure the spacer fits well in both the male connector and the 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) adaptor to prevent leakage.\\n\\n# Modify Your Mold\\n\\n1. Insert the spacer into the mold's 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) connector, ensuring it fits snugly and occupies most of the empty space.\\n2. Attach the male brass connector on top.\\n3. Drill through all parts with a 10 mm (0.39 inch) drill bit to enlarge the hole to 10 mm (0.39 inch). Ensure precise drilling to avoid damaging the threads.\\n\\nRepeat these steps for each mold to fit them all with male connectors for convenience.\\n\\n# Assemble Your Plug\\n\\n- Attach the second male connector to the end cap to create your new plug.\\n\\n# Modify Your Injection Machine\\n\\n- Remove the current threaded nozzle and replace it with the brass female connector.\\n\\n1. Prepare your mold and heat the machine.\\n\\n2. To inject, lift the female connector's exterior ring to remove the plug.\\n\\n3. Push the mold into the connector, which will latch with a \\\"click.\\\"\\n\\n4. Inject into the mold.\\n\\n5. To remove, lift the connector ring and extract the mold, then replace the plug.\\n\\n6. Repeat as necessary.\\n\\nThis method achieved approximately 15 injections per hour, surpassing previous results.\\n\\nThe rod fills the void inside the male connector, allowing molten plastic to flow through the 10 mm (0.39 inches) channel.

Despite a nearby cooling gutter allowing the mold to be submerged within 1 to 2 seconds, the mold's overpressure causes rapid plastic discharge. This results in additional waste and requires time and effort to clean. Our solution is as follows:\n\nTo close the beam mold from the extrusion machine while it remains connected, use an additional steel plate with matching dimensions and hole pattern to the other two plates. Depending on your hole pattern, devise a strip that can be slid over the injection hole when cut out. We used an arrow shape to establish a fixed stopping point.\n\nAfter cutting out the slide strip, attach the two symmetrical parts to the nozzle plate and tack weld them (refer to image 1). Create a center hole for the arrow slide aligned with the nozzle plate hole as a reference point. We found it effective to extend 1.57 inches (4 cm) from the center point to drill two holes: one 0.16 inches (4 mm) near the arrowhead and another 0.79 inches (20 mm) further. In the open position, the 0.79-inch hole aligns with the nozzle hole (refer to image 3).

Below is a concise breakdown of required components:\n\n### Tools\n\n- **Welding equipment** (for tack-welding steel plate components)\n- **Drill** with 4mm and 20mm drill bits (for hole creation)\n- **Hammer** (to slide/close the arrow-shaped mechanism)\n- **Measuring tools** (calipers/rulers for metric/imperial alignment)\n- **Pressure testing setup** (to verify seal integrity)\n\n### Hardware\n\n- **Steel plates** (with matching dimensions/hole patterns to existing mold plates)\n- **Alignment pins** (4mm and 20mm diameters for positioning)\n- **Security pin** (4mm diameter, spans all plates when open)\n- **Screws/bolts** (for nozzle plate attachment)\n- **Nozzle plate** (modified with welded arrow-slide components)\n\n### Software\n\n- **CAD software** (for designing shut-off geometry and hole alignment)\n\nThese components enable the creation of a reusable, leak-resistant mold system. The process emphasizes precision in drilling (±0.5mm tolerance) and robust welding to withstand extrusion pressures exceeding 50 bar[1][3].","## References\n\n### Articles\n\n- [The Basic Principles of Shut Off and Kiss Off in Mold Design](https://firstmold.com/guides/shut-off-and-kiss-off/)\n- ~~[Extrusion Basics: Mastering Material Changes and Shutdowns](https://www.plasticstoday.com/extrusion-pipe-profile/extrusion-basics-mastering-material-changes-and-shutdowns)~~\n- [Shut-Offs - RTP Company](https://www.rtpcompany.com/technical-info/molding-guidelines/tpe-molding-guidelines/shut-offs/)\n- [DIY Injection Molding: How to Mold Plastic Parts In-House](https://formlabs.com/blog/diy-injection-molding/)\n- [How to Incorporate Shut Offs in Injection Molding](https://www.protolabs.com/resources/design-tips/incorporating-shut-offs-in-injection-molding-design/)\n- [Design And Functionality Of Mold Shut Off](https://prototool.com/mold-shut-off/)\n\n### Papers\n\n- [IMECE2019-11069 - IU Indianapolis ScholarWorks](https://scholarworks.indianapolis.iu.edu/bitstreams/4a7aec92-dd98-4d12-ad76-d508b578c4a4/download)\n\n### YouTube\n\n- [Plastic Extrusion - Operation, Shutdown and Maintenance Procedures](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf5DQR5qXxU)\n- [STL to 3D Printed Injection Mold | Fusion 360 Mesh](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KisgYeYaagI)\n\n### Opensource Designs\n\n- [Step by Step Tutorial on Injection Mold Design - FreeCAD Forum](https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?style=1\\&t=62057)","{\n \"slug\": \"create-a-shut-off-for-the-beam-mould\",\n \"id\": \"create-a-shut-off-for-the-beam-mould\",\n \"title\": \"Create a shut off for the beam mould\",\n \"type\": \"howto\",\n \"components\": [],\n \"item\": {\n \"moderation\": \"accepted\",\n \"time\": \"\u003C 1 hour\",\n \"total_downloads\": 0,\n \"creatorCountry\": \"id\",\n \"fileLink\": \"\",\n \"total_views\": 465,\n \"mentions\": [],\n \"tags\": [\n \"untagged\",\n \"extrusion\",\n \"mould\"\n ],\n \"_contentModifiedTimestamp\": \"2023-06-14T11:02:20.345Z\",\n \"difficulty_level\": \"Medium\",\n \"_createdBy\": \"martijn\",\n \"comments\": [],\n \"category\": {\n \"_id\": \"PNQc9KjspF0xU4fMYEin\",\n \"_created\": \"2022-05-09T21:18:16.628Z\",\n \"label\": \"Moulds\",\n \"_deleted\": false,\n \"_modified\": \"2022-05-09T21:18:16.628Z\"\n },\n \"id\": \"epowVLmB7B7XqKEjzpGp\",\n \"files\": [],\n \"description\": \"### How to Create a Shut-Off for the Beam Mold\\n\\nThis guide explains how to create a shut-off mechanism for a beam mold, ensuring no plastic leakage after detachment from the extrusion machine. \\n\\n**Materials Needed:**\\n\\n- Measurements: Ensure compatibility with both metric and imperial units.\\n\\n**Instructions:**\\n\\n1. **Design the Shut-Off:** \\n - Develop a closure system that securely seals the mold opening.\\n2. **Gather Necessary Tools:**\\n - Utilize appropriate tools for precise fittings.\\n3. **Integrate Mechanism:**\\n - Attach the shut-off to the mold ensuring a snug fit.\\n4. **Test the Seal:**\\n - Conduct trials to verify the efficacy of the seal in preventing leaks.\\n \\nFollow these steps for an effective solution.\",\n \"_id\": \"epowVLmB7B7XqKEjzpGp\",\n \"_deleted\": false,\n \"cover_image\": {\n \"name\": \"shut off plate 6-186ea6dc570.jpeg\",\n \"downloadUrl\": \"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2Fs1RFHcjPHBtZT6VdaeAA%2Fshut%20off%20plate%206-186ea6dc570.jpeg?alt=media&token=7500c5f4-8f66-4973-823f-a935c0bcd931\",\n \"type\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"fullPath\": \"uploads/howtos/s1RFHcjPHBtZT6VdaeAA/shut off plate 6-186ea6dc570.jpeg\",\n \"timeCreated\": \"2023-03-16T13:21:40.252Z\",\n \"size\": 69954,\n \"updated\": \"2023-03-16T13:21:40.252Z\",\n \"contentType\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"src\": \"C:\\\\Users\\\\zx\\\\Desktop\\\\osr\\\\osr-machines\\\\howtos\\\\create-a-shut-off-for-the-beam-mould\\\\shut_off_plate_6-186ea6dc570.jpeg\"\n },\n \"steps\": [\n {\n \"images\": [\n {\n \"name\": \"shut off plate 0-186ea7103d7.jpeg\",\n \"fullPath\": \"uploads/howtos/s1RFHcjPHBtZT6VdaeAA/shut off plate 0-186ea7103d7.jpeg\",\n \"type\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"updated\": \"2023-03-16T13:21:42.148Z\",\n \"downloadUrl\": \"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2Fs1RFHcjPHBtZT6VdaeAA%2Fshut%20off%20plate%200-186ea7103d7.jpeg?alt=media&token=460dd34b-2d10-4921-a951-6b7ff2c210b3\",\n \"size\": 62805,\n \"timeCreated\": \"2023-03-16T13:21:42.148Z\",\n \"contentType\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"src\": \"C:\\\\Users\\\\zx\\\\Desktop\\\\osr\\\\osr-machines\\\\howtos\\\\create-a-shut-off-for-the-beam-mould\\\\shut_off_plate_0-186ea7103d7.jpeg\",\n \"alt\": \"shut off plate 0-186ea7103d7.jpeg\"\n }\n ],\n \"_animationKey\": \"unique1\",\n \"text\": \"When using the extrusion machine, we aimed to control the plastic outflow once the mold is filled and detached from the nozzle.

Don't confuse minimalistic for boring, on the contrary! Minimalistic for us means to be conscious of what we buy and consume. Are the products we buy useful or is it just more stuff? When we create product out of recycled plastic it will be a useful product, it will replace virgin plastic or natural resource, it can be used for many years, it will be recyclable and it will add to a circulair economy.

Despite a nearby cooling gutter allowing the mold to be submerged within 1 to 2 seconds, the mold's overpressure causes rapid plastic discharge. This results in additional waste and requires time and effort to clean. Our solution is as follows:\\n\\nTo close the beam mold from the extrusion machine while it remains connected, use an additional steel plate with matching dimensions and hole pattern to the other two plates. Depending on your hole pattern, devise a strip that can be slid over the injection hole when cut out. We used an arrow shape to establish a fixed stopping point.\\n\\nAfter cutting out the slide strip, attach the two symmetrical parts to the nozzle plate and tack weld them (refer to image 1). Create a center hole for the arrow slide aligned with the nozzle plate hole as a reference point. We found it effective to extend 1.57 inches (4 cm) from the center point to drill two holes: one 0.16 inches (4 mm) near the arrowhead and another 0.79 inches (20 mm) further. In the open position, the 0.79-inch hole aligns with the nozzle hole (refer to image 3). In this alignment, drill the 0.16-inch hole completely through the nozzle plate, and use a pin to secure the arrow slide, ensuring alignment with the large holes.\\n\\n### Assembly and Extrusion Process\\n\\nDrill an additional 0.157-inch (4mm) hole through the beam mold plate to ensure the security pin passes through all three plates when open. Begin extrusion by sealing the end of the mold, leaving only a 0.197-inch (5mm) pressure relief hole as a fill indicator. Continue extruding slightly longer to apply pressure to the beam. Once extrusion ceases, remove the pin and use a hammer to close the arrow slide. Unscrew the mold carefully, allowing it to cool appropriately. After cooling, detach the nozzle plate. The beam should slide out easily, or lightly tap the back if needed.

Set the lower heating element slightly hotter than the upper to prevent premature solidification.\n\n3. **Injector Operation**: Move the injector lever up and down to push the material into the barrel. Add more material as needed and keep the handle down to maintain pressure. \n\n4. **Heating and Preparation**: After approximately 15 minutes of heating, lift the handle and open the injector. Trim any initial plastic drippings which may contain unmelted material and attach your mold to the injector.\n\n5. **Safety Precautions**: Use a protective mask, eye cover, and heat-resistant gloves during this process to ensure safety.\n\n6. **Plastic Injection**: Use maximum force to pull down the injector handle and achieve a continuous injection, maintaining pressure for 30 seconds. Avoid segmented pressing. If additional force is required, seek assistance.","injection pressing","uniqueart8g","oh man! Injection time!

aluminum mold for injecting a plate measuring 0.12 inches (3mm) in thickness. The plate is suitable for serving dry items such as nuts and various objects. It should not be used for direct food consumption unless a suitable coating or lacquer is applied.\n\nFor a demonstration of the plate's creation, visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzjTm3FRLVY&t=5s\n\nSpecial thanks to Paul Denney.\n\n\nUser Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands (Kingdom of the)\n\n### Tools Required\n\n- CNC machine, cutting tools (e.g., cutting pliers), drill, welder\n- Protective gear: mask with ABEC filter, gloves, glasses\n- Scale, sandpaper, metal polishing paste\n- Four bolts, 5/16-inch (8 mm) diameter, minimum length 3.5 inches (9 cm), with nuts\n- Two metal dowel pins, 1/4 inch (6 mm) diameter\n- Drill bits, 5/16-inch (8 mm) and 1/4-inch (6 mm)\n- Wrenches\n- Two aluminum blocks, 10.2 x 10.2 x 1.6 inches (26 x 26 x 4 cm)\n- Metal sheet, minimum 5.9 x 5.9 x 0.2 inches (15 x 15 x 0.5 cm)\n- Plumbing connector, 1 inch \n\n### Machines Required\n\n- Injection machine \n- Shredder or pre-shredded plastic\n\nTo create a plate using the injection machine, a three-part mold is necessary: a bottom part and a top part, both made of aluminum, and a connector part made of steel. The top and bottom parts will be CNC-milled from aluminum blocks, while the connector part will be fabricated manually.\n\n### CNC Part Instructions\n\n1. **Download and Prepare Material**\n - Obtain the STEP file and use it to CNC-mill two identical aluminum blocks, minimum size 10.2 in x 10.2 in x 1.6 in (26 cm x 26 cm x 4 cm). Note: Moulds should not exceed a maximum width of 11 in (28 cm).\n\n2. **Reference Points Milling**\n - The STEP file includes six reference points for precise manual drilling. If a CNC milling machine is unavailable, consider outsourcing to a CNC service provider, keeping in mind potential higher costs and delays.\n\n3. **Mould Polishing**\n - After cutting, polish the mould for a refined surface finish. You can choose to polish it yourself or request this service from the CNC provider.\n\n### Acknowledgment\n\nSpecial thanks to Friedrich.\n\nWe need to create holes in the mould parts. There are two types of holes required, making a total of six holes, excluding the injection hole, which will be addressed later.\n\nFirst, drill two halfway holes on the inner sides of the aluminum (aluminium) blocks to accommodate metal dowel pins. These pins ensure the mould aligns correctly during injection. Drill holes corresponding to the dowel pin size you are using. For instance, if using 0.25 inches (6 mm) pins, drill accordingly. The mould will open and close more easily with use.\n\nNext, drill four holes at the corners of the aluminum (aluminium) blocks for bolts and nuts to secure the mould. Use the marked drill indicators or align the mould properly to ensure correctness.\n\nDrill a hole (0.51 inches) in the center of the bottom mold part with a 13mm bit. This facilitates the flow of plastic from the injection machine into the mold. A central drill indicator is available in the STEP file.\n\nTo create the connection plate, acquire a square steel sheet measuring 59 inches by 59 inches (150 cm x 150 cm) with a minimum thickness of 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) and a nozzle compatible with your injection machine (e.g., 1/2 inch BSP type). Verify the connection types for the injector. Mark the centers for the holes following the drawing and drill accordingly. Position the nozzle over the 0.5-inch (13 mm) hole and weld it securely to the plate, ensuring it is precisely centered to facilitate attaching the mold and optimizing plastic flow. Precise alignment with the mold and injection machine is crucial, so maintain accuracy throughout the process.\n\nThe mold will be more user-friendly if you sand the sharp edges, as CNC-cut aluminum can be very sharp. Consider adding an inclined edge to the bottom part to facilitate opening and closing. It's essential to sand and polish the inside for a clean product finish. A polished mold yields a high-quality product, whereas an unpolished one appears rough. Use a wooden block with sandpaper to maintain straight sanding. Begin with 120-grit paper and double the grit size with each step (120, 240, 440, etc., up to 2000). Clean the mold with a cloth to remove aluminum dust—do not blow it out as it is harmful to your lungs. Follow with metal-grained steel wool and fine steel wool. Finally, polish the mold with a clean cloth and polishing paste.\n\n### Assembly Instructions\n\nAfter preparing the mold, assemble the components. Connect the top and bottom parts using dowel pins for alignment, and secure with bolts and nuts. Attach the connector plate to the top and bottom parts of the mold. Your setup is now complete.\n\nUse PP, HDPE, LDPE, or PS, with PP and LDPE being most successful. The standard injector's maximum capacity is 150g (5.29 oz).\n\n### Injection Process Guidelines\n\n1. **Material Loading**: Fill the injector entirely with material, avoiding overfilling to prevent it from adhering to the hopper or injector exterior.\n\n2. **Temperature Settings**: Adjust temperature according to the specific melting point of the material. Set the lower heating element slightly hotter than the upper to prevent premature solidification.\n\n3. **Injector Operation**: Move the injector lever up and down to push the material into the barrel. Add more material as needed and keep the handle down to maintain pressure. \n\n4. **Heating and Preparation**: After approximately 15 minutes of heating, lift the handle and open the injector. Trim any initial plastic drippings which may contain unmelted material and attach your mold to the injector.\n\n5. **Safety Precautions**: Use a protective mask, eye cover, and heat-resistant gloves during this process to ensure safety.\n\n6. **Plastic Injection**: Use maximum force to pull down the injector handle and achieve a continuous injection, maintaining pressure for 30 seconds. Avoid segmented pressing. If additional force is required, seek assistance.\n\nKeep the handlebar lowered. Quickly remove the mold from the injection barrel and re-seal the injector's connection point to prevent leakage. Use water to accelerate cooling. Once the mold has cooled, unscrew the bolts to open it. Use a hammer and pin to remove the plate via the nozzle connector at the top.\n\nTrim the excess material at the injection point using sharp pliers. Sand any uneven areas for a smooth finish, using a machine or by hand if preferred.\n\n*Disclaimer: \nAs the source of the plastics cannot be fully verified, avoid consuming food from this plate unless a lacquer is applied to the surface.\n\nAt this stage, it is advisable to add a plastic type symbol to your product to indicate its composition. This assists future identification and potential recycling. Various techniques are available for stamping your material. Here, specialized stamps were utilized.\n\n### Completion Instructions\n\nEnjoy a beverage of choice and appreciate your craftsmanship.

Trim any initial plastic drippings which may contain unmelted material and attach your mold to the injector.\\n\\n5. **Safety Precautions**: Use a protective mask, eye cover, and heat-resistant gloves during this process to ensure safety.\\n\\n6. **Plastic Injection**: Use maximum force to pull down the injector handle and achieve a continuous injection, maintaining pressure for 30 seconds.

\"content\": \"This tutorial demonstrates the creation of an aluminum mold for injecting a plate measuring 0.12 inches (3mm) in thickness. The plate is suitable for serving dry items such as nuts and various objects. It should not be used for direct food consumption unless a suitable coating or lacquer is applied.\\n\\nFor a demonstration of the plate's creation, visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzjTm3FRLVY&t=5s\\n\\nSpecial thanks to Paul Denney.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands (Kingdom of the)\\n\\n### Tools Required\\n\\n- CNC machine, cutting tools (e.g., cutting pliers), drill, welder\\n- Protective gear: mask with ABEC filter, gloves, glasses\\n- Scale, sandpaper, metal polishing paste\\n- Four bolts, 5/16-inch (8 mm) diameter, minimum length 3.5 inches (9 cm), with nuts\\n- Two metal dowel pins, 1/4 inch (6 mm) diameter\\n- Drill bits, 5/16-inch (8 mm) and 1/4-inch (6 mm)\\n- Wrenches\\n- Two aluminum blocks, 10.2 x 10.2 x 1.6 inches (26 x 26 x 4 cm)\\n- Metal sheet, minimum 5.9 x 5.9 x 0.2 inches (15 x 15 x 0.5 cm)\\n- Plumbing connector, 1 inch \\n\\n### Machines Required\\n\\n- Injection machine \\n- Shredder or pre-shredded plastic\\n\\nTo create a plate using the injection machine, a three-part mold is necessary: a bottom part and a top part, both made of aluminum, and a connector part made of steel. The top and bottom parts will be CNC-milled from aluminum blocks, while the connector part will be fabricated manually.\\n\\n### CNC Part Instructions\\n\\n1. **Download and Prepare Material**\\n - Obtain the STEP file and use it to CNC-mill two identical aluminum blocks, minimum size 10.2 in x 10.2 in x 1.6 in (26 cm x 26 cm x 4 cm). Note: Moulds should not exceed a maximum width of 11 in (28 cm).\\n\\n2. **Reference Points Milling**\\n - The STEP file includes six reference points for precise manual drilling. If a CNC milling machine is unavailable, consider outsourcing to a CNC service provider, keeping in mind potential higher costs and delays.\\n\\n3. **Mould Polishing**\\n - After cutting, polish the mould for a refined surface finish. You can choose to polish it yourself or request this service from the CNC provider.\\n\\n### Acknowledgment\\n\\nSpecial thanks to Friedrich.\\n\\nWe need to create holes in the mould parts. There are two types of holes required, making a total of six holes, excluding the injection hole, which will be addressed later.\\n\\nFirst, drill two halfway holes on the inner sides of the aluminum (aluminium) blocks to accommodate metal dowel pins. These pins ensure the mould aligns correctly during injection. Drill holes corresponding to the dowel pin size you are using. For instance, if using 0.25 inches (6 mm) pins, drill accordingly. The mould will open and close more easily with use.\\n\\nNext, drill four holes at the corners of the aluminum (aluminium) blocks for bolts and nuts to secure the mould. Use the marked drill indicators or align the mould properly to ensure correctness.\\n\\nDrill a hole (0.51 inches) in the center of the bottom mold part with a 13mm bit. This facilitates the flow of plastic from the injection machine into the mold. A central drill indicator is available in the STEP file.\\n\\nTo create the connection plate, acquire a square steel sheet measuring 59 inches by 59 inches (150 cm x 150 cm) with a minimum thickness of 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) and a nozzle compatible with your injection machine (e.g., 1/2 inch BSP type). Verify the connection types for the injector. Mark the centers for the holes following the drawing and drill accordingly. Position the nozzle over the 0.5-inch (13 mm) hole and weld it securely to the plate, ensuring it is precisely centered to facilitate attaching the mold and optimizing plastic flow. Precise alignment with the mold and injection machine is crucial, so maintain accuracy throughout the process.\\n\\nThe mold will be more user-friendly if you sand the sharp edges, as CNC-cut aluminum can be very sharp. Consider adding an inclined edge to the bottom part to facilitate opening and closing. It's essential to sand and polish the inside for a clean product finish. A polished mold yields a high-quality product, whereas an unpolished one appears rough. Use a wooden block with sandpaper to maintain straight sanding. Begin with 120-grit paper and double the grit size with each step (120, 240, 440, etc., up to 2000). Clean the mold with a cloth to remove aluminum dust—do not blow it out as it is harmful to your lungs. Follow with metal-grained steel wool and fine steel wool. Finally, polish the mold with a clean cloth and polishing paste.\\n\\n### Assembly Instructions\\n\\nAfter preparing the mold, assemble the components. Connect the top and bottom parts using dowel pins for alignment, and secure with bolts and nuts. Attach the connector plate to the top and bottom parts of the mold. Your setup is now complete.\\n\\nUse PP, HDPE, LDPE, or PS, with PP and LDPE being most successful. The standard injector's maximum capacity is 150g (5.29 oz).\\n\\n### Injection Process Guidelines\\n\\n1. **Material Loading**: Fill the injector entirely with material, avoiding overfilling to prevent it from adhering to the hopper or injector exterior.\\n\\n2. **Temperature Settings**: Adjust temperature according to the specific melting point of the material. Set the lower heating element slightly hotter than the upper to prevent premature solidification.\\n\\n3. **Injector Operation**: Move the injector lever up and down to push the material into the barrel. Add more material as needed and keep the handle down to maintain pressure. \\n\\n4. **Heating and Preparation**: After approximately 15 minutes of heating, lift the handle and open the injector. Trim any initial plastic drippings which may contain unmelted material and attach your mold to the injector.\\n\\n5. **Safety Precautions**: Use a protective mask, eye cover, and heat-resistant gloves during this process to ensure safety.\\n\\n6. **Plastic Injection**: Use maximum force to pull down the injector handle and achieve a continuous injection, maintaining pressure for 30 seconds. Avoid segmented pressing. If additional force is required, seek assistance.\\n\\nKeep the handlebar lowered. Quickly remove the mold from the injection barrel and re-seal the injector's connection point to prevent leakage. Use water to accelerate cooling. Once the mold has cooled, unscrew the bolts to open it. Use a hammer and pin to remove the plate via the nozzle connector at the top.\\n\\nTrim the excess material at the injection point using sharp pliers. Sand any uneven areas for a smooth finish, using a machine or by hand if preferred.\\n\\n*Disclaimer: \\nAs the source of the plastics cannot be fully verified, avoid consuming food from this plate unless a lacquer is applied to the surface.\\n\\nAt this stage, it is advisable to add a plastic type symbol to your product to indicate its composition. This assists future identification and potential recycling. Various techniques are available for stamping your material. Here, specialized stamps were utilized.\\n\\n### Completion Instructions\\n\\nEnjoy a beverage of choice and appreciate your craftsmanship.

Our project, FOS Barcelona, produces eyewear from local waste and provides molds for others to produce them locally, promoting distributed design.\n\nThis guide shares insights from our experience.\n\n1: Requirements\n2-5: Sunglasses Design\n6-10: Mold Design\n\n\nUser Location: Barcelona, Spain\n\nTo complete the process independently, you will need:\n\n1. A defined model concept.\n2. A computer with CAD software experience.\n3. Access to a quality CNC milling machine or a manufacturing partner.\n4. An injection machine.\n\nLet's proceed with the steps.\n\nWhen designing eyewear, you can either choose bold designs aimed at a niche audience or opt for classic styles for broader appeal. Your decision depends on your goals. Once your target is set, you will need to make decisions about various components, as outlined in the following steps.\n\nMetal hinges: Common options include riveted (fixed with rivets), in-mold (placed before injection), screwed-in (attached post-injection with screws), and fused (secured post-injection with heat). Screw-in hinges are the easiest to detach after the product's lifespan.\n\nPlastic hinges: See next step.\n\nPlastic hinges can be manufactured using molds. This method avoids material mixtures and can offer durability comparable to metal hinges if designed correctly. However, the perceived quality might be a concern when creating products for sale, as perceptions can vary globally and are not always aligned with actual quality.\n\nThere is a wide variety of lenses available. Your choice depends on the intended use and type of eyewear. The main types are:\n\n- Polycarbonate: Suitable for sports and action eyewear due to durability.\n- CR-39 (polymer): The most common type of lens.\n- Mineral: Glass lenses, used less frequently due to weight and fragility, but offer high scratch resistance.\n\nCertainly.\n\n---\n\nFor eyewear design, the curvature of the frame is determined by the \"Base\" value. A higher base number results in a smaller curvature diameter. Base 9 is typical for sports eyewear, providing a snug fit to protect the eyes, while base 2 is used for fashion eyewear with a nearly flat appearance.\n\nPreviously, our Classic model featured a base of 6, whereas our new models utilize a base of 4.\n\nWhen designing molds for eyewear, it is important to balance costs with quality. Achieving excellent inscriptions and surface finishes requires significant investment. For testing, molds can be produced more quickly and economically with basic equipment. It is crucial to recognize that creating molds comparable to industrial ones is not cost-effective. A high-quality mold requiring minimal post-processing was chosen.\n\nIf choosing a cheaper mold, place parting lines at the edges to simplify post-processing and achieve satisfactory results.\n\nFor high-quality molds, the placement of parting lines is less critical as minimal post-processing, such as slight polishing, may be needed. Design choices can guide your decision. The images illustrate how to obscure parting lines with a rounding technique, which increases mold cost—particularly for small features requiring multiple tool changes and additional time—or how to maintain a simple design.\n\n### Closing System: Complexity Overview\n\nA closing system enabling quicker production can be expensive. The clamping pressure in an injection mold is crucial for optimal results and mold longevity. Finding a system that is affordable, accommodates frequent mold changes, and provides adequate, evenly distributed pressure is challenging.\n\nSimple screws are a budget-friendly solution, offering excellent clamping pressure when correctly positioned. However, they may slow down the process of opening and closing the mold. We suggest beginning with screws to assess your actual requirements before considering other options.\n\n### Surface Finishing Options for Molds\n\n1. **Tool Paths**: Leaving tool paths is cost-effective and allows for creative patterns by altering cutting directions.\n\n2. **Bead Blasting**: Provides an even surface at a low cost but lacks a shiny finish. Standards vary regionally, so consult your manufacturing partner for guidance.\n\n3. **Polishing**: Achieves the smoothest finish but is the most expensive. Choose the appropriate grade for your needs.\n\nTo finish your product, consider adding inscriptions to ensure recipients know its origin. Two main methods are:\n\n1. Milling a logo or inscription. This approach limits production to one brand, but allows for high-quality inscriptions with minimal effort or time. The image shows molds made for Experiencia Emprendedora in Argentina.\n\n2. Using pressure-marking to imprint logos and inscriptions. While the quality is lower, this method allows the mold to be used for multiple projects and brands as you establish your brand, if desired.\n\nOnce you comprehend the process, adjust it to suit your machines, molds, and products to achieve your objectives. Automation may be beneficial as sales become consistent. Pay close attention to color formulas for your products.\n\n### Distributed Eyewear Production\n\nAt FOS, we enable local production of our eyewear designs, reducing the need for individual product shipments.

Our project, FOS Barcelona, produces eyewear from local waste and provides molds for others to produce them locally, promoting distributed design.\\n\\nThis guide shares insights from our experience.\\n\\n1: Requirements\\n2-5: Sunglasses Design\\n6-10: Mold Design\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Barcelona, Spain\\n\\nTo complete the process independently, you will need:\\n\\n1. A defined model concept.\\n2. A computer with CAD software experience.\\n3. Access to a quality CNC milling machine or a manufacturing partner.\\n4. An injection machine.\\n\\nLet's proceed with the steps.\\n\\nWhen designing eyewear, you can either choose bold designs aimed at a niche audience or opt for classic styles for broader appeal. Your decision depends on your goals. Once your target is set, you will need to make decisions about various components, as outlined in the following steps.\\n\\nMetal hinges: Common options include riveted (fixed with rivets), in-mold (placed before injection), screwed-in (attached post-injection with screws), and fused (secured post-injection with heat). Screw-in hinges are the easiest to detach after the product's lifespan.\\n\\nPlastic hinges: See next step.\\n\\nPlastic hinges can be manufactured using molds. This method avoids material mixtures and can offer durability comparable to metal hinges if designed correctly. However, the perceived quality might be a concern when creating products for sale, as perceptions can vary globally and are not always aligned with actual quality.\\n\\nThere is a wide variety of lenses available. Your choice depends on the intended use and type of eyewear. The main types are:\\n\\n- Polycarbonate: Suitable for sports and action eyewear due to durability.\\n- CR-39 (polymer): The most common type of lens.\\n- Mineral: Glass lenses, used less frequently due to weight and fragility, but offer high scratch resistance.\\n\\nCertainly.\\n\\n---\\n\\nFor eyewear design, the curvature of the frame is determined by the \\\"Base\\\" value. A higher base number results in a smaller curvature diameter. Base 9 is typical for sports eyewear, providing a snug fit to protect the eyes, while base 2 is used for fashion eyewear with a nearly flat appearance.\\n\\nPreviously, our Classic model featured a base of 6, whereas our new models utilize a base of 4.\\n\\nWhen designing molds for eyewear, it is important to balance costs with quality. Achieving excellent inscriptions and surface finishes requires significant investment. For testing, molds can be produced more quickly and economically with basic equipment. It is crucial to recognize that creating molds comparable to industrial ones is not cost-effective. A high-quality mold requiring minimal post-processing was chosen.\\n\\nIf choosing a cheaper mold, place parting lines at the edges to simplify post-processing and achieve satisfactory results.\\n\\nFor high-quality molds, the placement of parting lines is less critical as minimal post-processing, such as slight polishing, may be needed. Design choices can guide your decision. The images illustrate how to obscure parting lines with a rounding technique, which increases mold cost—particularly for small features requiring multiple tool changes and additional time—or how to maintain a simple design.\\n\\n### Closing System: Complexity Overview\\n\\nA closing system enabling quicker production can be expensive. The clamping pressure in an injection mold is crucial for optimal results and mold longevity. Finding a system that is affordable, accommodates frequent mold changes, and provides adequate, evenly distributed pressure is challenging.\\n\\nSimple screws are a budget-friendly solution, offering excellent clamping pressure when correctly positioned. However, they may slow down the process of opening and closing the mold. We suggest beginning with screws to assess your actual requirements before considering other options.\\n\\n### Surface Finishing Options for Molds\\n\\n1. **Tool Paths**: Leaving tool paths is cost-effective and allows for creative patterns by altering cutting directions.\\n\\n2. **Bead Blasting**: Provides an even surface at a low cost but lacks a shiny finish. Standards vary regionally, so consult your manufacturing partner for guidance.\\n\\n3. **Polishing**: Achieves the smoothest finish but is the most expensive. Choose the appropriate grade for your needs.\\n\\nTo finish your product, consider adding inscriptions to ensure recipients know its origin. Two main methods are:\\n\\n1. Milling a logo or inscription. This approach limits production to one brand, but allows for high-quality inscriptions with minimal effort or time. The image shows molds made for Experiencia Emprendedora in Argentina.\\n\\n2. Using pressure-marking to imprint logos and inscriptions. While the quality is lower, this method allows the mold to be used for multiple projects and brands as you establish your brand, if desired.\\n\\nOnce you comprehend the process, adjust it to suit your machines, molds, and products to achieve your objectives. Automation may be beneficial as sales become consistent. Pay close attention to color formulas for your products.\\n\\n### Distributed Eyewear Production\\n\\nAt FOS, we enable local production of our eyewear designs, reducing the need for individual product shipments. We offer resources and moulds to facilitate this process, allowing the manufacture of eyewear products anywhere. \\n\\nDistributed design is an impactful approach that we support through our offerings.

We build them to help you do your best work. There are millions of people using Lexington products every day. Because we don’t know every one of our customers personally, we have to put in place some Terms of Service to help keep the ship afloat.\n\nWhen we say “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us” in this document, we are referring to [Lexington LLC](#_). We spun off Highrise HQ, LLC in the past, but it has since rejoined Lexington LLC.\n\nWhen we say “Services”, we mean our websites, including Lexington.com, hey.com, and Lexington.com, and any product created and maintained by Lexington LLC. That includes Lexington (all versions), HEY, Highrise, Campfire, Backpack, Ta-da List, and Writeboard, whether delivered within a web browser, desktop application, mobile application, or another format.\n\nWhen we say “You” or “your”, we are referring to the people or organizations that own an account with one or more of our Services. We have specific ownership policies for our products: [Lexington 4](#_), [Lexington 2](#_), [Lexington Classic](#_), [HEY for Domains](#_), [Highrise](#_), [Campfire](#_) and [Backpack](#_).\n\nWe may update these Terms of Service (\"Terms\") in the future. You can track all changes made since mid-2018 [on GitHub](#_). Typically these changes have been to clarify some of these terms by linking to an expanded related policy. Whenever we make a significant change to our policies, we will refresh the date at the top of this page and take any other appropriate steps to notify account holders.\n\nWhen you use our Services, now or in the future, you are agreeing to the latest Terms. There may be times where we do not exercise or enforce a right or provision of the Terms; however, that does not mean we are waiving that right or provision. **These Terms do contain a limitation of our liability.**\n\nIf you violate any of the Terms, we may terminate your account. That’s a broad statement and it means you need to place a lot of trust in us. We do our best to deserve that trust by being open about [who we are](#_), [how we work](#_), and keeping an open door to [your feedback](#_).\n\nAccount Terms\n-------------\n\n1. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password and for ensuring that any of your users do the same. The Company cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation. We recommend all users set up [two-factor authentication](#_) for added security. In some of our Services, we may require it.\n2. You may not use the Services for any purpose outlined in our [Use Restrictions policy](#_), and you may not permit any of your users to do so, either.\n3. You are responsible for all content posted to and activity that occurs under your account, including content posted by and activity of any users in your account.\n4. You must be a human. Accounts registered by “bots” or other automated methods are not permitted.\n\nPayment, Refunds, and Plan Changes\n----------------------------------\n\n1. If you are using a free version of one of our Services, it is really free: we do not ask you for your credit card and — just like for customers who pay for our Services — we do not sell your data.\n2. For paid Services that offer a free trial, we explain the length of trial when you sign up. After the trial period, you need to pay in advance to keep using the Service. If you do not pay, we will freeze your account and it will be inaccessible until you make payment. If your account has been frozen for a while, we will queue it up for auto-cancellation. See our [Cancellation policy](#_) for more details.\n3. If you are upgrading from a free plan to a paid plan, we will charge your card immediately and your billing cycle starts on the day of upgrade. For other upgrades or downgrades in plan level, the new rate starts from the next billing cycle.\n4. All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities. Where required, we will collect those taxes on behalf of the taxing authority and remit those taxes to taxing authorities. See our [Taxes policy](#_) for more details. Otherwise, you are responsible for payment of all taxes, levies, or duties.\n5. We process refunds according to our [Fair Refund policy](#_).\n\nCancellation and Termination\n----------------------------\n\n1. You are solely responsible for properly canceling your account. Within each of our Services, we provide a simple no-questions-asked cancellation link. You can find instructions for how to cancel your account in our [Cancellation policy](#_). An email or phone request to cancel your account is not automatically considered cancellation. If you need help canceling your account, you can always [contact our Support team](#_).\n2. All of your content will be inaccessible from the Services immediately upon account cancellation. Within 30 days, all content will be permanently deleted from active systems and logs. Within 60 days, all content will be permanently deleted from our backups. We cannot recover this information once it has been permanently deleted. If you want to export any data before your account is canceled, we‘ve provided instructions for [HEY](#_), [Lexington 4](#_), [Lexington 2](#_), [Lexington Classic](#_), [Highrise](#_), [Campfire](#_), and [Backpack](#_).\n3. If you cancel the Service before the end of your current paid up month, your cancellation will take effect immediately, and you will not be charged again. We do not automatically prorate unused time in the last billing cycle. See our [Fair Refund policy](#_) for more details.\n4. We have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of our Services for any reason at any time. Suspension means you and any other users on your account will not be able to access the account or any content in the account. Termination will furthermore result in the deletion of your account or your access to your account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all content in your account. We also reserve the right to refuse the use of the Services to anyone for any reason at any time. We have this clause because statistically speaking, out of the hundreds of thousands of accounts on our Services, there is at least one doing something nefarious. There are some things we staunchly stand against and this clause is how we exercise that stance. For more details, see our [Use Restrictions policy](#_).\n5. Verbal, physical, written or other abuse (including threats of abuse or retribution) of a Company employee or officer will result in immediate account termination.\n\nModifications to the Service and Prices\n---------------------------------------\n\n1. We make a promise to our customers to support our Services [until the end of the Internet](#_). That means when it comes to security, privacy, and customer support, we will continue to maintain any legacy Services. Sometimes it becomes technically impossible to continue a feature or we redesign a part of our Services because we think it could be better or we decide to close new signups of a product. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any part of our Services with or without notice.\n2. Sometimes we change the pricing structure for our products. When we do that, we tend to exempt existing customers from those changes. However, we may choose to change the prices for existing customers. If we do so, we will give at least 30 days notice and will notify you via the email address on record. We may also post a notice about changes on our websites or the affected Services themselves.\n\nUptime, Security, and Privacy\n-----------------------------\n\n1. Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. We provide these Services on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not offer service-level agreements for most of our Services — here’s [the one exception](#_) — but do take uptime of our applications seriously. Visit [https://www.37status.com](#_) to see the status of our Services.\n2. We reserve the right to temporarily disable your account if your usage significantly exceeds the average usage of other customers of the Services. Of course, we’ll reach out to the account owner before taking any action except in rare cases where the level of use may negatively impact the performance of the Service for other customers.\n3. We take many measures to protect and secure your data through backups, redundancies, and encryption. We enforce encryption for data transmission from the public Internet. There are some edge cases where we may send your data through our network unencrypted. Please refer to our [Security Overview](#_) for full details and our [Security Response page](#_) for how to report a security incident or threat.\n4. When you use our Services, you entrust us with your data. We take that trust to heart. You agree that Lexington may process your data as described in our [Privacy Policy](#_) and for no other purpose. We as humans can access your data for the following reasons:\n\n * **To help you with support requests you make.** We’ll ask for express consent before accessing your account.\n * **On the rare occasions when an error occurs that stops an automated process partway through.** We get automated alerts when such errors occur. When we can fix the issue and restart automated processing without looking at any personal data, we do. In rare cases, we have to look at a minimum amount of personal data to fix the issue. In these rare cases, we aim to fix the root cause to prevent the errors from recurring.\n * **To safeguard Lexington.** We’ll look at logs and metadata as part of our work to ensure the security of your data and the Services as a whole. If necessary, we may also access accounts as part of an [abuse report investigation](#_).\n * **To the extent required by applicable law.** As a US company with all data infrastructure located in the US, we only preserve or share customer data if compelled by a US government authority with a legally binding order or proper request under the Stored Communications Act, or in limited circumstances in the event of an emergency request. If a non-US authority approaches Lexington for assistance, our default stance is to refuse unless the order has been approved by the US government, which compels us to comply through procedures outlined in an established mutual legal assistance treaty or agreement mechanism. If Lexington is audited by a tax authority, we only share the bare minimum billing information needed to complete the audit.\n5. We use third party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run the Services. You can see a list of all subprocessors who handle personal data for [Lexington](#_), [HEY](#_), [Highrise](#_), [Campfire](#_), and [Backpack](#_), as well as a list of [Company processors](#_).\n\n6. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), Lexington is a “service provider”, not a “business” or “third party”, with respect to your use of the Services. That means we process any data you share with us only for the purpose you signed up for and as described in these Terms, the [Privacy policy](#_), and [other policies](#_). We do not retain, use, disclose, or sell any of that information for any other commercial purposes unless we have your explicit permission. And on the flip-side, you agree to comply with your requirements under the CCPA and not use Lexington’s Services in a way that violates the regulations.\n7. These Terms incorporate the [Lexington Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”)](#_) when the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) or United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”) applies to your use of Lexington Services to process Customer Data as defined in the DPA. The DPA linked above supersedes any previously agreed data processing addendum between you and Lexington LLC relating to your use of the Lexington Services.\n\nCopyright and Content Ownership\n-------------------------------\n\n1. All content posted on the Services must comply with U.S. copyright law. We provide details on [how to file a copyright infringement claim](#_).\n2. You give us a limited license to use the content posted by you and your users in order to provide the Services to you, but we claim no ownership rights over those materials. All materials you submit to the Services remain yours.\n3. We do not pre-screen content, but we reserve the right (but not the obligation) in our sole discretion to refuse or remove any content that is available via the Service.\n4. The Company or its licensors own all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, including all intellectual property rights therein, and you obtain no ownership rights in the Services as a result of your use. You may not duplicate, copy, or reuse any portion of the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or visual design elements without express written permission from the Company. You must request permission to use the Company’s logos or any Service logos for promotional purposes. Please [email us](#_) requests to use logos. We reserve the right to rescind any permissions if you violate these Terms.\n5. You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any portion of the Services, use of the Services, or access to the Services without the express written permission of the Company.\n\nFeatures and Bugs\n-----------------\n\nWe design our Services with care, based on our own experience and the experiences of customers who share their time and feedback. However, there is no such thing as a service that pleases everybody. We make no guarantees that our Services will meet your specific requirements or expectations.\n\nWe also test all of our features extensively before shipping them. As with any software, our Services inevitably have some bugs. We track the bugs reported to us and work through priority ones, especially any related to security or privacy. Not all reported bugs will get fixed and we don’t guarantee completely error-free Services.\n\nServices Adaptations and API Terms\n----------------------------------\n\nWe offer Application Program Interfaces (“API”s) for some of our Services (currently Lexington, Highrise, Campfire, and Backpack). Any use of the API, including through a third-party product that accesses the Services, is bound by these Terms plus the following specific terms:\n\n1. You expressly understand and agree that we are not liable for any damages or losses resulting from your use of the API or third-party products that access data via the API.\n2. Third parties may not access and employ the API if the functionality is part of an application that remotely records, monitors, or reports a Service user’s activity _other than time tracking_, both inside and outside the applications. The Company, in its sole discretion, will determine if an integration service violates this bylaw. A third party that has built and deployed an integration for the purpose of remote user surveillance will be required to remove that integration.\n3. Abuse or excessively frequent requests to the Services via the API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your account’s access to the API. The Company, in its sole discretion, will determine abuse or excessive usage of the API. If we need to suspend your account’s access, we will attempt to warn the account owner first. If your API usage could or has caused downtime, we may cut off access without prior notice.\n\nSome third-party providers have created integrations between our Services and theirs. You can find some of those integrations for Lexington at [https://Lexington.com/extras](#_) and for Highrise at [https://highrisehq.com/extras](#_). We are not liable or accountable for any of these third-party integrations.\n\nLiability\n---------\n\nWe mention liability throughout these Terms but to put it all in one section:\n\n**_You expressly understand and agree that the Company shall not be liable, in law or in equity, to you or to any third party for any direct, indirect, incidental, lost profits, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from: (i) the use or the inability to use the Services; (ii) the cost of procurement of substitute goods and services resulting from any goods, data, information or services purchased or obtained or messages received or transactions entered into through or from the Services; (iii) unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data; (iv) statements or conduct of any third party on the service; (v) or any other matter relating to these Terms or the Services, whether as a breach of contract, tort (including negligence whether active or passive), or any other theory of liability._**\n\nIn other words: choosing to use our Services does mean you are making a bet on us. If the bet does not work out, that’s on you, not us. We do our darnedest to be as safe a bet as possible through careful management of the business; investments in security, infrastructure, and talent; and in general [giving a damn](#_). If you choose to use our Services, thank you for betting on us.\n\nIf you have a question about any of these Terms, please [contact our Support team](#_).","src/content/infopages/terms.md","c00802cb6420bd7b",{"html":242,"metadata":243},"\u003Ch2 id=\"all-the-terms-that-you-agree-to-when-you-sign-up-for-a-lexington-product\">All the terms that you agree to when you sign up for a Lexington product.\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>From everyone at Lexington, thank you for using our products!

Review the drawings and steps to understand the process fully. This will enhance efficiency and accuracy.\n\n### Instructions for Makers\n\nBegin by cutting the steel pipe nipple (part no. 7) in half to create the mold nozzle. (Refer to Drawings, page 3).\n\nRetrieve the steel disc (no. 3) and bore a central hole to snugly fit one half of the steel pipe nipple (part no. 7). Refer to drawings on page 4.\n\nMachine one side of the flange to a 3-inch (7.62 cm) diameter to fit mold body no. 1. (Refer to drawings on page 4)\n\n### Instructions for Fabrication\n\n1. Weld components no. 3 and no. 7 together.\n2. Chamfer the welded edge on the lathe. (Refer to drawings on page 5)\n\nObtain disc no. 4 and drill a 9/32-inch (7 mm) hole in the center. Refer to drawings on page 6.\n\nDrill four holes along the edge of discs 3 and 4, then trim the sides. (See drawings pp. 4-6)\n\nDrill four additional 3/16-inch (4.76 mm) holes in disc number 4. (Refer to drawings on page 6)\n\nTo achieve a curved, smooth, and polished mold cavity surface, provide parts no. 1-2 and the 3D files to a reputable CNC lathe workshop. They can manage various file formats, and the accompanying drawings (pages 7-9) will clarify any uncertainties.\n\nTake part no. 5 and trim its corners tangent to a 3-inch (7.6 cm) circle, matching the diameter of part no. 2. Refer to drawings on page 10.\n\n### Instructions for Sheet Metal Cutting\n\n1. **Cutting and Safety Prep:**\n - Cut part no. 6 from a thin metal sheet.\n - Trim the corners to avoid sharp edges.\n\n2. **Assembly:**\n - Center part no. 6 on part no. 5.\n - Secure with four nails.\n\n(Refer to drawings on pages 11-12 for guidance)\n\nDrill a ⅛\" (3.175 mm) hole in the center of parts no. 5 and 6. Insert a screw to thread the wood. (Refer to drawings on pages 10-12)\n\nYour Wall Peg mold is complete. Insert a new screw into the wooden mold base before each injection to prevent filling the hole with plastic. If it happens, simply drill it out.\n\nTo open the mold, remove the bolts, cut the plastic at the entrance, and separate the mold parts. Unscrew the peg from the wooden section to retrieve your peg.\n\nAllow time for cooling due to the plug's volume and ensure the soft screw is positioned correctly to avoid tilting.\n\nThe mold accommodates all types of plastic and allows smooth injection.\n\nTo install the peg on the wall, drill a hole and secure it with a wall plug.","3D models, wall peg mold, CNC lathe workshop, steel pipe nipple, sheet metal cutting, mold assembly, fabrication instructions, plastic injection mold, mold drawings, woodworking techniques","### Tools\n\n- Steel pipe cutter/hacksaw (for cutting pipe nipple) [Page 3]\n- Lathe (for machining flange and chamfering edges) [Pages 4–5, 10]\n- Welding machine (components no. 3 & 7) [Fabrication Step 1]\n- Drill with 9/32\", 3/16\", and ⅛\" bits [Pages 6, 10–12]\n- Metal shears/angle grinder (for sheet metal cutting) [Sheet Metal Cutting Section]\n\n### Software & Digital Resources\n\n- 3D models and blueprints (linked in tutorial introduction)\n- CAD files (for CNC lathe workshop) [Pages 7–9]\n- Technical drawings (pages 3–12 for machining guidance)\n\n### Hardware Components\n\n- Steel pipe nipple (part no. 7) [Page 3]\n- Steel disc (part no. 3) [Page 4]\n- CNC-machined flange (parts no. 1–2) [Pages 7–9]\n- Discs (no. 4, 5, 6 for assembly) [Pages 6, 10–12]\n- Screws and nails (3/16\" and ⅛\" sizes) [Pages 10–12]","## References\n\n### Opensource Designs\n\n- Wall Peg mould\n\n### Books\n\n- [Mold Making and Casting Guide Book](https://composimoldstore.com/mold-making-and-casting-guide/)\n- [The Complete Guide to Mold Making with SOLIDWORKS 2025](https://www.sdcpublications.com/Textbooks/Complete-Guide-Mold-Making-SOLIDWORKS/ISBN/978-1-63057-720-9/)\n\n### Articles\n\n- [How to Make Molds: The Step-by-Step Process](https://www.artmolds.com/blogs/mold-making/how-to-make-molds-the-step-by-step-process)\n\n### Papers\n\n- ~~[Plastics: Mold design and fabrication](https://scholarworks.uni.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3680\\&context=grp)~~\n- [Advanced Injection Molding Methods: Review](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10489002/)\n\n### YouTube\n\n- [How To Make Decorative Pegboard Wall](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pmyVPpULDY)","Access detailed instructions for creating a wall peg mold, including 3D models, blueprints, cutting, and assembly steps to ensure efficiency and accuracy.","{\n \"slug\": \"wall-peg-mould\",\n \"id\": \"wall-peg-mould\",\n \"title\": \"Wall Peg mould\",\n \"type\": \"howto\",\n \"components\": [],\n \"item\": {\n \"caption\": \"3 wall peg in use :)\",\n \"description\": \"Access 3D models and blueprints to create the wall peg mold here.\",\n \"_modified\": \"2023-11-10T02:32:15.320Z\",\n \"fileLink\": \"\",\n \"votedUsefulBy\": [\n \"jrespinozab\",\n \"javiertecteos\",\n \"precious-plastic-genova\",\n \"sigolene\",\n \"beckermen\",\n \"jessicamp3\",\n \"mattia\",\n \"precious-plastic\"\n ],\n \"title\": \"Wall Peg mould\",\n \"tags\": [\n \"product\",\n \"injection\",\n \"mould\"\n ],\n \"slug\": \"wall-peg-mould\",\n \"difficulty_level\": \"Easy\",\n \"_id\": \"0Rfqeen9nVyjoGnzdGL4\",\n \"mentions\": [],\n \"total_downloads\": 28,\n \"id\": \"0Rfqeen9nVyjoGnzdGL4\",\n \"_created\": \"2020-03-10T20:48:12.602Z\",\n \"comments\": [],\n \"_contentModifiedTimestamp\": \"2023-06-22T20:41:23.034Z\",\n \"_deleted\": false,\n \"total_views\": 394,\n \"creatorCountry\": \"\",\n \"moderation\": \"accepted\",\n \"previousSlugs\": [\n \"wall-peg-mould\"\n ],\n \"time\": \"1-2 weeks\",\n \"files\": [\n null\n ],\n \"category\": {\n \"_created\": \"2022-05-09T21:18:16.628Z\",\n \"_modified\": \"2022-05-09T21:18:16.628Z\",\n \"label\": \"Moulds\",\n \"_id\": \"PNQc9KjspF0xU4fMYEin\",\n \"_deleted\": false\n },\n \"steps\": [\n {\n \"_animationKey\": \"unique1\",\n \"title\": \"Get your materials and prepare the work:\",\n \"images\": [\n {\n \"fullPath\": \"uploads/v3_howtos/0Rfqeen9nVyjoGnzdGL4/1.jpg\",\n \"name\": \"1.jpg\",\n \"updated\": \"2020-03-10T20:54:06.290Z\",\n \"type\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"timeCreated\": \"2020-03-10T20:54:06.290Z\",\n \"downloadUrl\": \"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fv3_howtos%2F0Rfqeen9nVyjoGnzdGL4%2F1.jpg?alt=media&token=f3cb2342-4e57-42a4-ae8c-6cdcd6cabafc\",\n \"contentType\": \"image/jpeg\",\n \"size\": 194298,\n \"src\": \"C:\\\\Users\\\\zx\\\\Desktop\\\\osr\\\\osr-machines\\\\howtos\\\\wall-peg-mould\\\\1.jpg\",\n \"alt\": \"1.jpg\"\n }\n ],\n \"caption\": \"\",\n \"text\": \"Ensure all materials are prepared.

(Refer to drawings on page 6)\\n\\nTo achieve a curved, smooth, and polished mold cavity surface, provide parts no. 1-2 and the 3D files to a reputable CNC lathe workshop. They can manage various file formats, and the accompanying drawings (pages 7-9) will clarify any uncertainties.\\n\\nTake part no. 5 and trim its corners tangent to a 3-inch (7.6 cm) circle, matching the diameter of part no. 2. Refer to drawings on page 10.\\n\\n### Instructions for Sheet Metal Cutting\\n\\n1. **Cutting and Safety Prep:**\\n - Cut part no. 6 from a thin metal sheet.\\n - Trim the corners to avoid sharp edges.\\n\\n2. **Assembly:**\\n - Center part no. 6 on part no. 5.\\n - Secure with four nails.\\n\\n(Refer to drawings on pages 11-12 for guidance)\\n\\nDrill a ⅛\\\" (3.175 mm) hole in the center of parts no. 5 and 6. Insert a screw to thread the wood. (Refer to drawings on pages 10-12)\\n\\nYour Wall Peg mold is complete. Insert a new screw into the wooden mold base before each injection to prevent filling the hole with plastic. If it happens, simply drill it out.\\n\\nTo open the mold, remove the bolts, cut the plastic at the entrance, and separate the mold parts. Unscrew the peg from the wooden section to retrieve your peg.\\n\\nAllow time for cooling due to the plug's volume and ensure the soft screw is positioned correctly to avoid tilting.\\n\\nThe mold accommodates all types of plastic and allows smooth injection.\\n\\nTo install the peg on the wall, drill a hole and secure it with a wall plug.\",\n \"keywords\": \"3D models, wall peg mold, CNC lathe workshop, steel pipe nipple, sheet metal cutting, mold assembly, fabrication instructions, plastic injection mold, mold drawings, woodworking techniques\",\n \"resources\": \"### Tools\\n\\n- Steel pipe cutter/hacksaw (for cutting pipe nipple) [Page 3]\\n- Lathe (for machining flange and chamfering edges) [Pages 4–5, 10]\\n- Welding machine (components no. 3 & 7) [Fabrication Step 1]\\n- Drill with 9/32\\\", 3/16\\\", and ⅛\\\" bits [Pages 6, 10–12]\\n- Metal shears/angle grinder (for sheet metal cutting) [Sheet Metal Cutting Section]\\n\\n### Software & Digital Resources\\n\\n- 3D models and blueprints (linked in tutorial introduction)\\n- CAD files (for CNC lathe workshop) [Pages 7–9]\\n- Technical drawings (pages 3–12 for machining guidance)\\n\\n### Hardware Components\\n\\n- Steel pipe nipple (part no. 7) [Page 3]\\n- Steel disc (part no. 3) [Page 4]\\n- CNC-machined flange (parts no. 1–2) [Pages 7–9]\\n- Discs (no. 4, 5, 6 for assembly) [Pages 6, 10–12]\\n- Screws and nails (3/16\\\" and ⅛\\\" sizes) [Pages 10–12]\",\n \"references\": \"## References\\n\\n### Opensource Designs\\n\\n- Wall Peg mould\\n\\n### Books\\n\\n- [Mold Making and Casting Guide Book](https://composimoldstore.com/mold-making-and-casting-guide/)\\n- [The Complete Guide to Mold Making with SOLIDWORKS 2025](https://www.sdcpublications.com/Textbooks/Complete-Guide-Mold-Making-SOLIDWORKS/ISBN/978-1-63057-720-9/)\\n\\n### Articles\\n\\n- [How to Make Molds: The Step-by-Step Process](https://www.artmolds.com/blogs/mold-making/how-to-make-molds-the-step-by-step-process)\\n\\n### Papers\\n\\n- ~~[Plastics: Mold design and fabrication](https://scholarworks.uni.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3680\\\\&context=grp)~~\\n- [Advanced Injection Molding Methods: Review](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10489002/)\\n\\n### YouTube\\n\\n- [How To Make Decorative Pegboard Wall](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pmyVPpULDY)\",\n \"brief\": \"Access detailed instructions for creating a wall peg mold, including 3D models, blueprints, cutting, and assembly steps to ensure efficiency and accuracy.\"\n }\n}","1d81dde5dad48a2f","make-an-adaptable-sorting-system",{"id":990,"data":992,"filePath":990,"digest":1225},{"slug":990,"id":990,"title":993,"type":407,"components":994,"item":995,"config":1224},"Make an adaptable sorting system",[],{"_createdBy":996,"description":997,"_contentModifiedTimestamp":998,"_created":999,"total_views":1000,"mentions":1001,"id":1002,"moderation":536,"category":1003,"slug":990,"previousSlugs":1007,"comments":1008,"cover_image":1014,"steps":1021,"title":993,"_modified":1135,"time":1136,"votedUsefulBy":1137,"_deleted":412,"total_downloads":1143,"files":1144,"fileLink":19,"tags":1145,"_id":1002,"difficulty_level":639,"creatorCountry":1148,"user":1149,"content":1219,"keywords":1220,"resources":1221,"references":1222,"brief":1223},"guas","Create an adaptable sorting system.

A motorcycle stand offers a more efficient solution, providing sufficient range to clamp the mold against the injector while enabling the use of leg strength, thus keeping hands free.

A motorcycle stand offers a more efficient solution, providing sufficient range to clamp the mold against the injector while enabling the use of leg strength, thus keeping hands free. This method facilitates the easy lifting of heavier molds and accessories such as clamps, potentially minimizing the need for extensive bolting during clamping.\\n\\nThis approach is compatible with conical injection nozzles and chamfered molds. The equipment referenced in this guide is from PlasticPreneur.\\n\\n\\nUser Location: Lancaster, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the)\\n\\nRefer to the attached video for a detailed explanation of the process and required components.\\n\\nWe acquired our first stand from Facebook Marketplace.

However, they are useful for producing large, solid items and as a prototyping method to test mold designs before milling them into aluminum blocks.\n\n## Required Materials\n\n- Extruder machine\n- Shredded plastic\n- Casting plaster\n- Mold release agent\n- Model or object for replication\n- Melamine or plywood\n- Heat gun\n- Optional: paint, chopped fiberglass, shellac\n\nSelect a model or object to create your plaster mold around, such as a self-made model, a 3D print, or a toy. Determine the number of parts needed for your mold; for our project, a two-part mold was used.\n\nHere, the shape was cut from foam using a homemade hot wire and refined by hand sanding.\n\nEnsure a smooth surface, as imperfections will be visible in the final product. Keep sanding, filling, and painting as needed.\n\nConstruct a box around your model, ensuring it is sealed and secure to prevent it from floating when plaster is poured. Melamine or plywood may be used for the box.\n\nConsider applying a mold release, such as petroleum jelly, to facilitate the release of the plaster.\n\nReference pins can be useful to ensure the molds align correctly later.\n\nMix the casting plaster following the manufacturer's instructions. Add chopped fiberglass for enhanced mold durability.\n\nPour the mixture into the box, filling it to twice the model's height.\n\nAfter pouring, tap the box with a hammer for a few minutes to release air pockets.\n\nLet the plaster cure for two days before demolding.\n\nAfter completing both parts of your mold, allow them to air dry for a few days until they are touch-dry and noticeably lighter. This indicates readiness for the next step.\n\nOptionally, apply a layer of shellac to the plaster surfaces. Once cured, use a mold release agent like silicone oil or petroleum jelly to prevent plastic from adhering, ensuring the mold's reusability.\n\n### Preparing the Mold for Your Machine\n\n1. **Align and Clamp the Mold**: Secure the mold parts together so they are properly aligned.\n\n2. **Drill a Large Hole**: Create a large hole for attachment to the extruder machine.\n\n3. **Drill Indicator Holes**: Add smaller holes at various points to signal when the material reaches a certain level and to help relieve pressure buildup.\n\n### Injection Molding Process\n\nDue to its slow nature, maintaining the mold's internal temperature is crucial. Ensure it remains heated; one effective method is by drilling large holes to allow hot air circulation from two heat guns.\n\nBegin by heating your plaster mold. Simultaneously, activate the extruder and prepare the plastic. Once the mold is hot, commence the injection process. The duration may vary, ranging from a few minutes to several hours based on the product size. In this instance, it required approximately 2.5 hours to fill the mold.\n\nWhen the plastic reaches all reference points, indicating full injection, switch off the heat guns and extruder. Plug all holes to preserve pressure within the mold.\n\nAllow the product to cool at room temperature, which may take up to 12 hours due to the insulating properties of plaster. Carefully demould your product, ensuring the mold remains intact for future use.\n\nIf completed correctly, minimal post-processing is needed. Remove the injection point and relief channels. Clean the part line with a knife to reuse the shavings.\n\nA time-consuming but effective low-tech mold-making technique.

Always perform an initial test.\n\nCollected shavings can be reused as raw material in a sheet press or extrusion machine.\n\nBegin assembly of the bench and its structure once the parts are cut. \n\nFor urban furniture, a metal framework provides stability and durability. \n\n**Tips**\n\nTo connect plastic elements to the metal structure, use galvanized or stainless steel screws and nuts. Although stainless steel is more costly than galvanized, it offers superior resistance to oxidation.\n\nWhen attaching plastic parts, pre-drill holes the size of the screw to prevent breaking or deforming due to excessive pressure.\n\nTo create dumbbell weights (circular sections), the same marine litter boards used for the bench are CNC machined. Handles are crafted from a colorful mix of recycled plastic bottle caps. An extrusion machine produces plastic rods up to 9.84 feet (3 meters) in varying shapes and thicknesses, either rounded or square.\n\nTo assemble the pieces, use stainless steel screws. First, select a drill bit matching the screw size; for instance, use a 3mm (0.12 inches) drill for 4mm (0.16 inches) screws.\n\n**Tip**\n\nFor assembling various plastic parts, torx head screws are recommended for enhanced product security and difficulty in disassembly." + "content": "Extract the required tools, software hardware from the following tutorial.

This will aid in calculating the plastic required for sheet production.\n\nAfter outlining and measuring, use an angle grinder to cut the 20mm (0.79 inches) hollow galvanized steel to the specified size.\n\nMark dimensions using an erasable marker for accuracy.\nEmploy an angle grinder for cutting.\nUse a whiteboard marker to draw a 1:1 template of your sheets to align angles and dimensions properly, adjusting as necessary.\n\nUsing a whiteboard marker, draw a full-scale template of your sheets to verify and adjust angles and dimensions as necessary.\n\nWeld all sides to join the ends and form your polygonal sheets.\n\nUse an angle grinder to smooth excess welding material.
