3D Pen That Instantly Recycles Plastic Wastes Replacing Costly 3D Printing Filaments

3D Pen that instantly recycles plastic wastes replacing costly 3D printing filaments

22-Jul-16

Renegade was unveiled as the perfect solid tool to eliminate overpriced filaments and to save the environment by directly recycling and reusing household plastic waste for 3D printing. Renegade is not the smallest, thinnest, lightest or cheapest 3D pen in the world. Renegade specializes in one thing, and one thing only - it prints 3D models by recycling plastic bottles, files, and bag.
Renegade uses a robust and powerful extruder that includes a screw-feeder mechanism and heating system. These combine to transport, destruct, and melt the plastic tape produced by the ChupaCut plastic bottle shredder or even standard filaments. ChupaCut is a manual plastic bottle shredder which produces the perfect plastic strips for use with Renegade. ChupaCut’s spherical shape allows it to create 3, 6, 9, or 12mm plastic strips without ever having to change the setup. The rotating screw forces the heated plastic to move forward evenly and extrudes it from the nozzle. The molten plastic then cools down rapidly into a solid and stable spatial structure. There are practically no material limitations.
Renegade uses a powerful drive motor and gearbox, eliminating well-known issues in plastic material feeding that most 3D pens currently face. The temperature is adjustable from 50°C to 320°C using a single controller and the speed is also controlled by a single button. Renegade can use 5 to 7 mm strips cut from PET plastic bottles, plastic bags, or plastic files with a thickness of 0.14 to 0.35mm. It can also use standard PLA, ABS, nylon, TPE, HIPS, wood and other types of filament with a diameter of 1,75 mm. Renegade features a strong and durable aluminum structure, sturdy mechanism drive, and electrical system, all designed for extensive work with a wide spectrum of materials.
