If you like this Open Source Project, you can Support Our Current 3D Printer Upgrade Project at Kickstarter:
Wembi – Closed Loop Motorupgrade for 3D Printer

With all eyes in the tech world turned on next great 3D printing technology, Wembi makes a quantum leap in existing technologies bringing the future here.
And remember, every kind of support is welcome.




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





-What ? Shred-Buddy3D? What can it do?

• Producing Flakes / Pellets / Granules:
• Leftover 3D Printer Filament - Pellets
• (PET/PETE) - Plastic bottles - flakes / granules
• (Nylon,Polyamid) - Monofilament Fishing Line - Pellets
• (Nylon) - zip ties - Flakes / pellets / granules
• (Nylon) - String Trimmer line - Pellets
• (many materials available) - Hot Melt Glue Gun Sticks 7,20mm - 7,50mm - granules "testings still in process"

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.



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.
