3D Printed Open Source Multi Material Cutter&Pelletizer : SHRED-Buddy3D

3D Printed Open Source SHRED-Buddy3D UPcycler turns leftover filament bits, bottles & fishing line into pellets for 3D printing.
Designed by Venture-Bit

Do you own a 3D printer like most Maker and DIY'ler?

almost run out of filament? ... Again? What to do with the last few meters?

well... Make Pellets/Granules of it and use these to create new Filament with a Filament Extruder or an DIY Pellet extruder.

Now You Can Easilyand securely Cut and Shred all your leftover Plastics: such as cable ties, plastic bottles, leftover 3D printer material, fishing line and much more.

Step 1: A Multi-functional Cutting&Shredding Tool for Maker

The shredder-element consists of a sharp HSS drill, which are known for
their long durability. The bottle slicer can be easily fitted back to full cutting capability with a standard cutter blade.

Step 2: The Mainbody Is 3D Printed and All Mechanical Parts Using Good Quality Ballbearings!

In most cases, any material is different in diameter or shape. For this
reason we have a fast-swappable System in form of various slide-tubes implemented.

What ? Shred-Buddy3D? What can it do?
