|
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. |
