Today, getting what you need is as easy as a trip to the store. From food to clothing, energy, medicine, and so much more, Andy George will discover what it takes to make everything from scratch. His mission is to understand the complex processes of manufacturing that is often taken for granted and do it all himself. Each week he’s traveling the world to bypass the modern supply chain in order to harvest raw materials straight from the source. Along the way, he’s answering the questions you never thought to ask.

@MK-lk7nc 5 лет назад

That polymer is thicc! BTW i think the key to melting down and reforming your plastics is that there is not only a bottom form, but a top as well, matched (like stacked cups). Then put a spacer in between around the edges somewhere, and a weight on the top form. So you fill the hollow space between the two forms with plastic, then heat, it melts, top form compresses down and squishes the melted plastic around to fill the hollow space and top form continues to drop until the spacer forces it to stay off the bottom form by whatever thickness you ultimately want.

@mrdovie47 5 лет назад

Polymer powder is mixed with a monomer liquid to make in-the-ear hearing aid shells. I added some red sand to the mix once and it looked like poop. As it sets up, it gets quite pliable like clay and I made handles for some Exacto blades used in opening hearing aid shells for repair. Silicon molds are used to form the shells.

@pingu99991 5 лет назад

Have you heard of a manufacturing process called vacuum forming? It's where you take a sheet of plastic and heat it in a frame untill it starts to droop. You then suck this shape over a form and voila you have a shape! It's a lot faster and simpler than 3d printing (it's easier to make a plastic sheet,heater and vacuum than it is to make a consistent diameter filament and a 3d printer) maybe it's worth a shot since you were halfway there with the sheet over a cup in an oven method.

@TheCardq 2 года назад

PLA gets soft enough to work with at a low enough temperature that you could try submerging a disk in boiling water then quickly forming it after removing it from the water.

@Etersarte 5 лет назад

Plastic acually refers to the way the material deforms. The opposite of plastic is elastic, so a plastic deformation is when you deform something, and it doesn't return to its original shape. And since that's the most common household plastic we encounter, plastic has become the household name for polymer.

@rhinochunks 5 лет назад

We are missing acknowledgements to the students who helped with the PLA synthesis and the research group they belong to. Check out U. of Akron, Case Western, U. Southern Mississippi, and U Mass Amherst for help with synthesizing and processing polymers.

@jincyquones 5 лет назад

Oh buddy, getting your DIY PLA to work as 3D printing filament is gonna be an even bigger nightmare than trying to mould it, fair warning.

@jincyquones 5 лет назад

@@Lunch_box "Theoretically" Have you ever owned a 3D printer and used it extensively? They're not even the slightest bit forgiving when it comes to filament. They rely on very clean, very CONSISTENT plastic. You can't just shove any stringified plastic and expect it to work.

@rdizzy1 5 лет назад

They have machines you can use at home to do it for you (make PLA beads/shards/powder into PLA filament), not very expensive anymore either for smaller ones. I don't think he's planning on trying to do it manually, just making the plastic manually. @@Lunch_box

@Luka1180 2 месяца назад

You should consider buiding a twin-screw extruder compounding machine, take this kind of PLA fibre and mix it with additives including pigments inside the machine and thus get some cool masterbatch with the exact properties and color you want, then use a DIY filament maker (like the one made by ArtMe 3D) and turn it into 3D print filament!

@Odesious25 5 лет назад

Don't try to mold the cup all at once. Form two halves then combine them together. That's why you see so many plastic products with a 'seam'.

@QuantumFluxable 5 лет назад

for the plastic molding you should look into vacuum forming, i think there's a video on it with Adam Savage. basically you'd try to melt the plastic into a sheet, then mount that sheet in a frame above a box with the mold in it. this box gets depressurized (with a household vacuum) and you heat the plastic, so it becomes soft and gets pulled inward onto the mold, creating a sort of envelope above it. Might work better than your attempts at what is basically injection molding, but I dunno

One minor thing: plasticus is a PPP, a Passive Perfect Participle, and thus doesn't mean "that which may be formed", but "that which has been formed", which also makes more sense: Plastic simply is something that has been formed/made by man.
