Well, this is the older 8-puck loader…(Copied from my thread but figure it belongs here too!
My local 3D printer-guy met me with a sample batch yesterday…he printed me @Mr.Sparkle 's 8-puck loader and 4x open-cell and 4x 10-cell pucks…I pick up the other 92 tomorrow! This/these are 100% made with recycled PET water bottles from the beaches of Thailand! ![:rofl: :rofl:](https://overgrow.com/images/emoji/twitter/rofl.png?v=9)
The guy is a engineer from Europe that retired here long ago…runs a NGO in Brazil helping schools turn used water bottles into 3D printing line. He showed me a bunch of (well-produced) videos on the machine he created and is trying to spread around the World (He’s NOT into it for the $)! Pretty cool…if pretty s-l-o-w process, made with parts he 3D printed and turns most of a 1.5 liter water bottle into line in about 8 minutes! He’s working (constantly) to improve the design and ramp up production. Think he had 3 of them running in series yesterday.
He sent me the ‘link’ to his site if any of you 3D printer people are interested in the idea?

BIG THANKS again to Mr.Sparkle for the files! That’s a GREAT service for those of us out in the boondocks!

EDIT; By the way, he just told me I removed 8x 1.5 liter plastic bottles from circulation! ![:crazy_face: :crazy_face:](https://overgrow.com/images/emoji/twitter/crazy_face.png?v=9)
