Yeah, hand power is sufficient for the purpose, second design is good and I have contacts in the Building for wire cutting, they have all standard plates in stock (still very expensive). I think for most domestic needs a paper shredder able to mash up CDs would do the job for some plastics in the recycling bin and for supports, probably not for bigger failed parts. But for heavy duty local production there are commercial shredders we can find used and in good condition… these things are tough…

Il faudrait des projets comme ça partout, localement, dans tous les FabLabs par exemple

Haha! Well, if ya do, make sure you put some water in with the plastic or it’ll melt!

Also, extruders don’t like plastic powder much.

Thanks, so you understand the importance of decent pro-level equipment for serious decentralized business… I think DIY-level won’t cut it and it costs the same in materials, time and effort… We can find a good small industrial extruder for about 2K$ and a heavy duty shredder for something like 500$
