Old CD Cases shredded and molten into a sheet with our low cost spring powered oven mold. The crystal clear PS Material shows nicely the performance and limitations of the process. Sheet corners and surfaces are very good but there are small bubbles inside the material. No Problem for most applications but disturbing if you want to make clear sheets. #make #makersgonnamake #makerspace #maker #diy #recycled #recyclingideas #plasticrecycling #plastic #preciousplastic #fablab #hackerspace (hier: Wuppertal, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVCeIeyN9_t/?utm_medium=tumblr

Made some testing iterations to figure out the right amount of material, spring tension and baking heat / time to get nice and shiny polystyrol recycling sheets. -> 1250gramm, full tension, 2h @170degree is the one for you Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us.

Safety enclosure for our laser engraver. The front is made out of wood with an plexiglass inlay. For the side walls, a pack of four polystyrol recycling sheets gave a perfect fit. #diy #woodworking #recycledmaterials #recycling #make #maker #makerspace #fablab #hackerspace #preciousplastic #plasticrecycling #laserengraving #techgirl (hier: Wuppertal, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS_koK6sgW1/?utm_medium=tumblr

We got a new Toy which enables Laser engraving for the Makerspace. Our Tech girl Julia made the set up of the machine and lasered a few trials. #fablab #makerspace #makersgonnamake #make #diy #hackerspace #laserengraving #creative #techgirl (hier: Wuppertal, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRGs2Lnnx6q/?utm_medium=tumblr

Our urban planting project for this year. We made a flower box out of old, upcycled wood and foil. Jule, our tech girl, finished the project and designed some 3D printed letters to lable the box with our logo. #plantingdesign #urbanfarming #diy #make #fablab #makerspace #makersgonnamake #hackerspace #upcycling #planting (hier: Wuppertal, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQy0gBxH5ju/?utm_medium=tumblr

Shredded some old laundry-baskets to flakes, melted them into sheets and milled out some useful geometries for the Lab. Pegboards to organize our tools in a better way, a coat rack and some hexagon-tiles. #recycled #recycling #recyclingideas #plasticrecycling #diy #fablab #makerspace #hackerspace #preciousplastic #make (hier: Wuppertal, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPoDbgQHzhY/?utm_medium=tumblr

Finished our semi-automatic oven system for making four recycling sheets in parallel. We used a timer controlled second-hand oven in a wooden frame, galvanized steel plates with alu-frames and spring-compression. Sheet size is 375x325×7,5mm. The height of the sheets can be varied by changing the framing. Because of the timer, the oven can start / stop automatically. So the process needs less human interaction. Only loading/unloading needs to be done manually. #diy #make #makerspace #fablab #hackerspace #recycling #plasticrecycling #recyclingideas #plasticsheet #preciousplastic (hier: Wuppertal, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMr4zyHH29l/?igshid=11yyjbzhj04fk

We have a new 3D printer🤠 The pre-assembled Z & X/Y Axis makes it really simple and fun to screw the thing together. #creality #crealityender5plus #make #diy #makerspace #fablab #hackerspace #3dprinting (hier: Wuppertal, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMpO7iQHTup/?igshid=5u96svm2c2a9

Injector upcycling project. Most of the components are left overs from other projects or donated parts. The machine has some kind of 'Mad Max look' but works fine. #diy #injector #make #recycling #upcycling #preciousplastic #hackerspace #makerspace #fablab #plasticrecycling (hier: Wuppertal, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMfG3mAHSmx/?igshid=qwnt36nu07y2

This is our external #homestudio for #devlab , #thesolarisagency and #tristar where the #video and #audio design ( #videoedit and #audioedit ) takes place. @_devlab.nrw_ itself is located in #Wuppertal whilst our #homestudio is located close to us in #remscheid.

Filling and demolding of the Gen2Mold works quite good. So it was time to test different materials like ABS, PE, HDPE and PLA. Making good sheets out of recycling-material has now become way easier for us. #diy #make #makerspace #fablab #hackerspace #recycling #preciousplastic #plastic #plasticrecycling #plasticsheet #recycled (hier: Wuppertal, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKq_uHVnwfI/?igshid=im155dd8bnxs

Making of our Gen2 mold to produce plastic sheets out of recycling flakes by baking them in an old kitchen oven. The second Generation is easier to fill and has only 4 closing screws. Instead of welded steel we used aluminium and V4A. This makes it way lighter and reduces the baking time by 30 minutes.

Making of a wall mount for a remote control using fusion360 as cad system and cura to generate the 3dprinter gcode #make #diy #anet #makerspace #hackerspace #fablab #fusion360 #cura (hier: Wuppertal, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKJRpMJHw5Y/?igshid=1tazk3mlmbctv

jiha, I finally managed to make recycling sheets with a good surface on both sides which are easy to remove from the mold. #diy #make #makerspace #fablab #hackerspace #recycling #plastic #plasticrecycling #preciousplastic #bottlecapsheets #plasticsheet (hier: Wuppertal, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJqsba7nHRN/?igshid=1xcwki268hsnx

Making of the first mold to melt plastic-sheets out of recycling flakes. It was made with 4 single plates which are welded together. Quite basic construction to gain experiences in this field #diy #make #makerspace #hackerspace #fablab #recycling #recycledmaterials (hier: Wuppertal, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJnwRgAHF56/?igshid=1wdyv9i8wpt00

Also one of the older projects. In the old workspace we prevented us from having stress with the neighbours by automatically turning off the milling machine when they entered their flat. Therefore we mounted small radar sensors on the ceiling and connected them to the arduino based milling controller. Escalated quick in terms of wiring, sensors and coding. :-) #diy #arduino #arduinoproject #make #makerspace #fablab #hackerspace #arduinomega #arduinonano (hier: Wuppertal, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJQxCXTnNg7/?igshid=1bzk4g8dlecv0
