I explained in my first video where I got the plans and how the 3d printed components were printed (see information below). I'm hoping to use this compost shredder to speed up the shredding process compared to using a food processor that I have used in the past. As the shredder design can be used continuously instead of in batches I can prepare a lot of food scraps at once and have them all mixed together. Mixed materials is better for worm composting and the smaller pieces create more surface area so the worms will work the material faster which should help your worm population grow more quickly!<br /><br />REMINDER:<br />THIS SHREDDER IS OPEN AND CAN BE DANGEROUS IF YOU PLAN ON BUILDING DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK<br /><br />Amazon Materials Links:<br />As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.<br />Ender 3 Pro<br /><a href="https://amzn.to/2Xj0y8H" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/2Xj0y8H</a> (paid link)<br />R20-2RS Ball Bearings<br /><a href="https://amzn.to/2D96PwP" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/2D96PwP</a> (paid link)<br />Steel Tubing 1.25" by 3 feet (Need to cut)<br /><a href="https://amzn.to/2BSIrPw" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/2BSIrPw</a> (paid link)<br />PLA+ Filament eSun<br /><a href="https://amzn.to/39MRWfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/39MRWfr</a><br />Proto-pasta High Temp Carbon Fiber Filament (Made in USA)<br /><a href="https://amzn.to/3fs5PkJ(Paid" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/3fs5PkJ(Paid</a> Link)<br /><br />I did not design this 3d printed compost shredder I only printed it based on designs on thing <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.thingiverse.com/</a><br />This is the original design <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing</a>:356580, <br />The creator's Youtube channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/thymark" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/user/thymark</a> <br />website www.filamaker.eu where you can buy metal shredders<br />This is the design with imperial measurements <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing</a>:3588776 (I used these as I live in the USA)<br />Here is the Hopper I used on top <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing</a>:3588743<br /><br />YouTube Video showing assembly from filamaker <a href="https://youtu.be/j4a-f51Ypc0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/j4a-f51Ypc0</a><br /><br /><br />If you have a computer, cell phone, or tablet check out World Community Grid and donate your computing cycles to find cures for diseases (Cancer, AIDS, TB) or help with weather patterns for Africa.
