DIY Solar-Powered Shredder Makes Recycling Easier

[UPDATE] GET THE LATEST SHREDII 8

In this video, we embark on an engineering journey inspired by the one and only MrBeast and his giant shredder, where we harness the power of the sun and feed it directly into SHREDII 5! Join us as we use the sun's energy to recycle tons of boxes and create DIY cardboard insulation. NOTE: WE DO NOT END UP USING THE CARDBOARD INSULATION DUE TO FIRE RISK. Here's a sneak peek of what to expect: 

🌞 Solar-Powered Shredding: Witness the fusion of DIY engineering and solar panels to efficiently recycle boxes using SHREDII. 

🔧 DIY Setup: Learn how to assemble the DIY shredder and create your own solar power station, an engineering feat that's both sustainable and educational. 

🧪 Testing and Innovation: Join us as we conduct a science experiment to measure the insulation's R-value and develop a DIY chemical treatment for fire resistance. 

❌ Garage Insulation: Discover the three reasons why we decided against insulating our garage with shredded cardboard in the video. This concept offers endless possibilities for free insulation in various projects.

locksmiths don't have to cut up keys by hand.

Recently we purchased your key chopper, and we must say it's an impressive tool for destroying keys. We used to cut them up with linemen's plyers by hand, so as you can imagine your tool not only saves time but also prevents a possible hand injury so it's also ergonomically friendly. Time will tell on longevity on the blades however its well-constructed, however adding a catch basin to the bottom would be an added plus also a cover for the funnel feed with a slot would also prevent pieces from popping up in the work area. Just some feedback. Thanks much, Mike Wooley

Shredii 8 for 3d printers

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!

SHREDII 8

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.

Shredii

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!

SHREDII 6.0 Review

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.
