Introduction:

The funnel was designed for use with a paper shredder for shredding small 3D printed items into small palettes to recycle them for re-use with the Plastic crusher palette extruder.
By enlarging the paper entry to approximately 29mm X 230mm, the funnel is fitted to the shredder. The shredded pellets are used in the Plastic crusher palette extruder to recycle 3D printed items.

The funnel cover provides safety during use to prevent objects from springing out of the funnel during the shredding.

The outcome was good, but to achieve a finer pellet size, the same object needs to be shredded in multiple iterations. However, we still faced some challenges when it came to pelletizing thick objects.
