The Affordable Micro Shredder for 3D Printing Waste - RMRRF2024

I recently visited the Rocky Mountain RepRap Festival 2024 in Loveland, CO to show you some really interesting and new stuff. Let's talk about a new Open Source Electrical Discharge Machining, a Library but for Filaments and a Micro Shredder for Recycling!

can't wait for edm to become the next affordable hobbyist machining technique, I can feel it being around the corner!

I'm glad to see the Filament Library using the free access/affiliate link model. I'll be sure to use their links for future purchases, even if I'm buying the same filament I've been buying.

I had access to a professional EDM machine in my last job - the potential uses are endless: chisels for the lathe made from hardened HSS blanks takes minutes, high precision parts from titanium w/o the work hardening, thin-walled jewelry from super-alloys, a complex clamping mechanism that withstands high temperatures? That EDM machine saved us so much time and money!

Wow. You can really see the passion of these folks. I love seeing them progressively talking faster during the conversation because they are just so excited to get the information out

[BuzzKillBillZ]

Thanks for showing off the shredder. It was awesome getting to meet and talking with you in person! 😊

[nicocesar]

You can't deny the passion of the guys at Rack Robotics to make all this. I really hope they can create a successful company. I ordered the fish tank already

[StanleyKubick]

Huge shoutout to the EDM guys for making it open-source. Bro's just really proud of what they've achieved and excited to share it, and I'm here for it

[zacattack]

Bro, the filament color library is fucking amazing

[dingdingdingdiiiiing]

I can't even express how much respect I have for the guys that made that EDM machine. If I'll ever need to machine gears, this would be the way... I'm not sure I _need_ this machine, but I want it.

With professional wire machines, the use cases tend to be:
Since there is no tool to part contact, they are incredibly accurate. If something needs to be spot on, wire it.
2. It cuts anything conductive, without care for how hard it is. It will cut hardened steel.
3. It can cut an almost square inside corner (limited by the wire diameter which is very small).
These 3 combine to make wire machines the primary method for making stamping tools

[Palte]

The color library and the website are insane work! Absolutely love the enthusiasm and love the project!

[bigbr]

Home mini open source EDM! Thanks! Didn't know. Mini machinist holy grail.

[button-puncher]

EDM is like an ultra precision plasma cutter. I can't wait to see this mature in the maker space.

[esteva]

Bro said "This is good for gears" and he just had me right there. I it!!!!🤣

[stelioskoroneos]

Its so refreshing to see people so positively "hooked" in the things they do

[steelwitness]

as an american who lives very far from colorado i hope you had a good time and i hope our people were hospitable. Im a huge fan and i appreciate your work. these interviews were very interesting. these people are very passionate about their work and i love seeing all these people in one place with unique ideas all united towards the same goal

[AzaBC]

The EDM machine with the nano light saber demo was awesome to see in person.

[stevehood]

That filament color guide is really handy. I’ll def be using that

[thomasrogers]

I was really interested in the EDM Kickstarter they did, I'm glad to know I can still buy the stuff off their website

[shazam]

These two guys at Rack Robotics EDM know their stuff, inside and out! Very impressive! Looks like a mostly "turn key" unit for practical use will end up ~ $2000 to $4000, which is and absolute bargain! Good luck to them and thanks for the work to get it to "here".
