DIY Shredder Recycles 3D Printed Waste and Injected Into 3D Printed Molds (SHREDII)
After building a DIY foundry to recycle the metal scrap from our DIY machine shop, we wanted to build a machine that can recycle our plastic scrap as well. We built SHREDII, a tiny yet very powerful DIY shredding device that recycles our 3D prints and other various plastics into small shreds that we can then use in INJEKTO 3 (desktop-size plastic injection machine). Our ultimate goal was to reduce the plastic waste we produce and the process was definitely very challenging.
Our latest and most powerful version of the shredder is SHREDII 8. Buy your own shredder kit!

Shredii 8 is a really impressive machine. it can chew through pretty much anything you can do with a 3d printer.
its great for chewing up big filament into small scraps for recycling. The crushing does generate a bit of heat which you need to keep an eye on if you are using low temp materials like PLA. But that is to be expected with machinery. Use in moderation.
The safety switch is a good move too. I was annoyed at first that you have to hold down the on switch, but in retrospect, its a very smart move. It greatly prevents accidents. if you feel you are in danger, let go of the switch and the machine will stop IMMEDIATELY.
Its a well rounded desktop shredder. If you have a lot of waste and want to turn it into something useful again, Shredii 8 will do the job!
The SHREDII 8 hits the perfect balance for users needing a small-footprint shredding solution with industrial-level performance. Its modular kit nature, high-grade steel components, and stellar support make it both a practical tool and a fun project for anyone serious about responsible disposal and material recycling.
Love your setup, and glad SHREDII 8 has met your needs! Thank you for the kind review.
The motor really changed the game with Shredii. It was a bit of a challenge to attach the motor since both the motor and Shredii are quite heavy, but once together it was definitely worth it!
Finally got my Shredii 6! It feels like a beast. Also got the tall safety funnel to throw more stuff in at a time. I'm happy with my purchase.
I purchased the SherdII and down loaded the round safely cover. But I needed a taller cover. I contacted customer service and a very nice gentleman responded. I explained what I was looking for. He had design create a file for me to download. I printed it and it works great. It was just what I needed. Their customer service is amazing. I highly recommend them.
Thank you for the 5-star review Alicia! We love your setup and we're glad you're getting great use from your SHREDII!
