|cmptitle=Sustainable development goals
|cmpimage=wikipedia-Sustainable_Development_Goals_logo.svg.png
|cmpimg=
This project can help advance several [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_Development_Goals Sustainable Development Goals] (SDGs) in various ways:
* Goal 1: No poverty: Products that can be produced with locally available resources support the development of local enterprises and thus contribute to the creation of new jobs and income. In perspective, an alternative form of industrialisation is sought, which is based on the local production of technologies. This applies especially to the production of goods in cooperatives or small companies, which are dedicated to products for the satisfaction of basic needs, such as in the fields of agriculture, food processing, house construction, etc.
* SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure - Individuals can contribute to the development of sustainable infrastructure and technologies that promote responsible consumption and production. This promotes innovation and helps build a more sustainable future.
* SDG 13: Climate Action - By recycling plastic waste and turning it into usable products, individuals can reduce the need for new plastic production, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. This helps to mitigate climate change and promote a more sustainable future.
* SDG 14: Life Below Water - Plastic pollution is a significant threat to marine life, and by reducing the amount of plastic waste that enters our oceans, we can help protect marine ecosystems and promote a healthy and sustainable ocean.
* SDG 15: Life on Land - Plastic pollution also affects terrestrial ecosystems and wildlife. By recycling plastic waste and reducing the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills or littering our landscapes, we can help protect land-based ecosystems and promote a more sustainable future.
 
Overall, the design and manufacture of a DIY recycled plastic extruder can contribute to several Sustainable Development Goals, promoting sustainable infrastructure, responsible consumption and production, climate action, and the protection of our natural ecosystems.

<h3>Tips & tricks while making</h3>
* Alignment of the motor and couplings is key, any misalignment could cause future wear and tear. To do this we recommend drilling holes into the plates and attaching them to the motor. Align and then weld the plate in position to the frame.
* Any bolts used should be used in tandem with locking nuts to prevent them from loosening over time.
* When choosing a gearing system bear in mind that the extrusion screw applies lateral pressure into the gearbox. Avoid using linear systems that don't have a back plate such as motors found in garden mulchers.
* Choose bearings that can handle directional load (such as a tapered bearing)
* Installing a VFD with this machine makes using it a dream.

Project details

Description

Precious-p-Contruir la Extructora 13-10 screenshot.png

The DIY plastic extruder, developed by entrepreneur Precious Plastic is here published by OHO, is a revolutionary tool for makers and hobbyists. It allows users to easily create custom 3D printed objects from recycled plastic. The extruder is designed to be easy to use and requires minimal setup.

With the extruder, users can create custom parts for their projects or even make their own filament from recycled plastic. It can be used with a variety of materials, including HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS. The extruder is a great way to reduce waste and create unique objects from recycled materials.

Project developer

This project has been analyzed by the OHO technical team, based on an extensive review of similar technical solutions, planned by various entrepreneurs and enthusiasts, taking the work of developer Precious Plastic, as the main reference for further developments.

Project goals

Among some of the objectives set in the realization of this project, we can mention:

  • Make plastic processing devices of great practical utility
  • Improve methodologies for the development of Open Source projects
  • Manage project certification according to the guidelines established by OHO
  • Contribute to the promotion and development of Appropriate Technologies

Target groups

This project is mainly aimed at people and small businesses that work with plastic processing in the production of non-industrialized goods, oriented towards community development and sustainable production, among these we can mention:

  • Small and medium businesses
  • Individuals from the plastic processing and 3D printing
  • Non-governmental educational entities

Achievements, promotion

Precious-p-deskfactory.jpg

From the publication of this project, by Precious Plastic, an interesting dynamic has been generated on its YouTube channel, where it was widely accepted by technicians and academics interested in building the machine.
Additionally, on the project page, a group of initiatives is shown where the equipment could be built with some variants.
Thanks to this and other projects, Precious Plastic has carried out various events, making known to the world the feasibility of building these equipment, being an active organization in the dissemination of Appropriate Technologies.

Sustainable development goals

Wikipedia-Sustainable Development Goals logo.svg.png

This project can help advance several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in various ways:

  • Goal 1: No poverty: Products that can be produced with locally available resources support the development of local enterprises and thus contribute to the creation of new jobs and income. In perspective, an alternative form of industrialisation is sought, which is based on the local production of technologies. This applies especially to the production of goods in cooperatives or small companies, which are dedicated to products for the satisfaction of basic needs, such as in the fields of agriculture, food processing, house construction, etc.
  • SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure - Individuals can contribute to the development of sustainable infrastructure and technologies that promote responsible consumption and production. This promotes innovation and helps build a more sustainable future.
  • SDG 13: Climate Action - By recycling plastic waste and turning it into usable products, individuals can reduce the need for new plastic production, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. This helps to mitigate climate change and promote a more sustainable future.
  • SDG 14: Life Below Water - Plastic pollution is a significant threat to marine life, and by reducing the amount of plastic waste that enters our oceans, we can help protect marine ecosystems and promote a healthy and sustainable ocean.
  • SDG 15: Life on Land - Plastic pollution also affects terrestrial ecosystems and wildlife. By recycling plastic waste and reducing the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills or littering our landscapes, we can help protect land-based ecosystems and promote a more sustainable future.

Overall, the design and manufacture of a DIY recycled plastic extruder can contribute to several Sustainable Development Goals, promoting sustainable infrastructure, responsible consumption and production, climate action, and the protection of our natural ecosystems.

Other technical notes

Tips & tricks while making

  • Alignment of the motor and couplings is key, any misalignment could cause future wear and tear. To do this we recommend drilling holes into the plates and attaching them to the motor. Align and then weld the plate in position to the frame.
  • Any bolts used should be used in tandem with locking nuts to prevent them from loosening over time.
  • When choosing a gearing system bear in mind that the extrusion screw applies lateral pressure into the gearbox. Avoid using linear systems that don't have a back plate such as motors found in garden mulchers.
  • Choose bearings that can handle directional load (such as a tapered bearing)
  • Installing a VFD with this machine makes using it a dream.
