Making a desktop injection molding machine for plastic recycling - TARS
This video was made ahead of the application for the James Dyson Award. A Big thank you to everyone who supported this project along the last 6 years. A special thank you to my friend Benni who ran this project with me until Summer of 2021. It is nice to see all of it come together in this video and I hope this project can create an impact. Thank you for watching!
For those of you who know the movie Interstellar also get the name reference. TARS is my favorite robot and always helped the astronauts when hard work needed to be done. This is sort of the same what this machine does to the user when it comes to recycling plastic waste. Sort of ;)

This Video documents my 8 Day biketrip from Schopfheim to Pisa.. I made this tour in August 2021. Prior to this trip, I built a small bicycle rig so I could have the drone running while I am on the bike. Not really sure if that was legal^^. I hope you enjoy the view and the video! Cheers, Manuel

    A request. Can the design please require multiple buttons to be pressed or a pattern entered to actually dispense food? My friend has bought two food dispensers so far and both of them have been beaten by the cats. They figure out how to dispense food themselves eventually which is against whole point of these products. For example, make it so that 2 buttons must be pressed simultaneously.

    normal filaments are NOT food safe, if this model is to be printed it should be whit a clean nozzle that its not brass, since some brass nozzles have lead in them, also use a filament which is clearly labeled to be food safe

    instead of screws, try using soft foam pads so you don't have to do anything manually after inserting the board, self adjusting to a degree

    Nice idea. Did you ever heard of „Solid state dehumidifiers“? I think this would be even better as your silicon dehumidifier pearls. They are way more expensive (like 20 Euros per Membrane), but as you don’t have to exchange the silicon bags regularly anymore.

    • @aliyarmathews7956
      @aliyarmathews7956 День тому

      They are still pretty expensive. I have never seen a module for 20€ with enough dehumidifying power.

    Cool project, you should look into making a pelletizer Injection molds are insanely expensive currently and I only need so many egg cups. having plastic pellets means you can use that new pellet extruder by that greenboy guy.

    I think the answer to "why not change that" is that its much cheaper and more efficient to do it on a large scale. Sort of the reason factories exist. This is super cool though!

  • @marcv2648
    @marcv2648 2 місяці тому

    The way to make this successful is to make this as low cost as possible. If you don't do this from the start, your machine will be pirated in China before you even begin producing them. The most important thing is to be as cost competitive with China as possible. If this is not your number 1 concern, you will absolutely lose. I cannot stress this enough.

    I love the idea. The only issue I see with it is similar to those with traditional injection molding: you need highly specialized molds that are usually quite expensive. Have you ever considered creating a simpler application of this technology, like a 3D filament maker or something along those lines? If so, what made you choose an injection molder? Congrats on this machine. It looks extremely clean and well-thought-out.
