Thanks Makers Muse, we appreciate your support 😃. We are using Chromoly steel blades which are much tougher. These new blades are also much smaller so there is more torque applied onto the plastic from the drive shaft. Let me know if you’d like to collaborate 😉 - Dave
Look awesome so far! During the metal screw test, and the phone test, you can see the blades moving and impinging on each other a bit. Looks like it would be beneficial to work out a way to compress the blade stack! Maybe a shaft collar at either end to lock the blade stack in place, and then set-screws going through the shaft collar to press inwards against the blade stack to provide compression?
Thanks for your support 😃. I like your suggestion and will definitely look into designing that. Ps. I checked out your channel and it looks awesome 😎. I can see why shredder blades would interest you 😜. Cheers, Dave
As the owner of a CNC shop, this video inspired me! I was dumbfounded by the price of aluminum - so I started buying scrap and casting it into the billets needed. Ended up getting into machining of HDPE and same thing, dumbfounded by the cost of HDPE billets! I built a steam furnace to melt it, but decided using shredded feedstock would be more efficient and higher quality, I like the design of your shredder!
I don't know if this is just me, but I'd seriously want an emergency stop button that kills the power, rather than telling the Arduino to stop. Just because if the Arduino or motor drivers go haywire, or don't respond, the button won't do anything. Most likely not going to happen, but I'd really want something that cannot fail.
Hi Max, I must say, this is a great idea that is extremely important to implement. In my case I always had someone with me to hit the power switch not shown in the video in case of a disaster, but indeed I agree with you 100% that safety here is imperative. Thanks for leaving your awesome comment, and I hope you enjoyed the video regardless 😃. Cheers, Dave
I consider that a Nokia victory... it broke the shredder before getting fully mauled so it's victorious yet again... literal steel nails get rekd and the nokia is just like... meh... put the battery back in and let's see a do-over... I bet the Nokia will make it out with a couple of scratches. That thing is without a doubt absolutely indestructible. I dont see why we need all of these fancy shmansy fighter jets when we have Nokia that can do both electronic warfare AND bunker/tank-busting percision KOs at a high enough velocity, fired out of standard artilery of course... but noooo we need 32 trillion dollars of debt instead. Mount that bitch on a Walmart drone and I bet it could down the F-35. In fact, I am challenging the Russian bots/intelligence officer reading this comment to try it and then give me a reward later when I win them the Ukraine war with this comment. Nuff said.
A funny thing, I had just last week started working on a design that would use dual rollers and now I see what you have done and I’m blown away!!! My question is do you sell turnkey models, or probably better out, push button models? I’m just now really learning all of this stuff, so I don’t know how to yet built much, but I’m great at design. All that to say, I would love to purchase one of these machines from you and maybe one day I can have you on an episode of my TH-cam ch which will be about me being a maker, artist and all-around tinkerer, etc.
Amazing work my man!!!!! I would love to be able to have something like this. For years Ive been seeing lots of 3d printed parts go into the trash when the same companies that make the printers should be working on helping us reuse the bad prints. Instead they focus on selling their own filaments.
Thanks Juan 😃. We hope this shredder will help people with small scale needs for light shredding. You can get one at actionbox.ca if you need one. Cheers, Dave
Hahaha, this was definitely our last shredii. It works really well, its super easy to assemble, and we are super happy with it. Injekto is also really robust and works great.
Indeed hahaha, that phone really is tougher than one would assume 😂. Thanks again for watching, I always appreciate seeing your comments smile. I still think we should collaborate on a project 😉
This is great, I also kinda like that the 3310 sort of did win, that last bit held out longer than the machine key. 😆 Are you thinking of selling kits or plans for this too?
Hi, I was also quite surprised by that 😆 but I guess its known for being indestructible for a reason 😜. The kits are available for purchase at actionbox.ca/products/shredii-4-0 Cheers, Dave
I have an idea for the machine key issue: Make the shaft hexagonal. The shaft can still transfer the torque to the blades but the shredder will be more robust as the bigger shaft as a whole is obviously going to be more stress resistant than the smaller machine key. Some Shredder designers have already done this and it definitely worked wonders.
Thats amazing I wish I could actually retain all the info on the internet.. I hate wanting to do something from an industral application... And not knowing how. Thank you.... Great job on the video 😉 Making a mini shredder was on my list thank you soooooo very much.
Shredders blades like those and bigger are usually made using an alloyed steel called “Manganese Steel” or “Mangaloy” also “Hadfield Steel” because this is one if the most toughest and abrasive steels there is and as a bonus the steel actually self repairs over time because it work hardens and gets extremely hard and tough up to 65 + HRC which is high speed steel territory but it does not harden all the way through, only the parts that are doing the work so the tips and edges and as soon as they start to wear the new steel hardens underneath so in essence it self repairs constantly holding an edge but that’s not all, because the new steel underneath is softer it’s has very high impact toughness whilst resisting wear on the work hardened edges. This is why it’s used in shredders and crushers excavator bucket teeth things like that and you’d be surprised the things it’s used in. It’s almost impossible to machine even with TC (Tungsten Carbide) due to its work hardening properties, it is usually cut to shape with plasma cutters or laser cutters due to its crazy properties and then ground, Anyway I just thought it was relevant to what is going on here.
Ayyy please one shreddy, lol I am a total dummy, and I am learning how to use freecad, I just made a phonestand, took me two tries to get it right, wishing I could recycle the pla used up 😅 loved the vid,
Thank you for watching 😃. The two shredii machines that we are giving away will be offered to two random subscribers who will be listed on our community page on Feb 19. Cheers, Dave
This was super cool to see after just watching the original Shredii vid. You may have covered this in another video but - is there a benefit to using the copper instead of a mounted pillow bearing? Also wondering if you have the cnc files available for this to build my own. Love this project!
You can put a grate with .250 holes evenly spaced below the blades. This will make the shread size smaller or larger determined y the size of the holes. But, that would probably work better if the speed was much faster. The grinders we used in plastic had the grates in placed so that we could get consistent sized regrind to be recycled back into our extrusion process. The grates were curved to the diameter of the blades and they had a small gap. So you get a slice effect as the plastic went through the holes.
@@ActionBOX shredder of copper lol. 4/0 wire specifically. But I know that is a huge task. The industrial ones are completely out of reach financially.

4:34 LMAO I couldn't have ever predicted how fast that thing consumed itself!
Haha it’s a powerful machine 😅
I love what you doing with recycling! Great job.
Thanks a lot for your support Roland 😃
Great stuff! I would love to get some of your machines for my high school students to experiment with this year.
I don't know how much this Shredder is but it would be a dream to have one because I believe it can change my life for good... You're a genius sir...
Thank you sir 😃. Check out the video of our latest shredii 5s

It’ll be really cool to have a awesome shredder that I can use to shred so many things in my bedroom
Definitely! What do you have to shred?
Really good CGI of the Nokia being shreded!
😂😂
At the rate you are redesigning shredy, you'll have one that can shred V1 by Christmas.
Hahaha, thanks Matthew. This is the last iteration 😂, it works great
Heck ya! At times I want to order Injecto x but then feel there will be an Injecto x+1
Good stuff guys
Hahaha, this was definitely our last shredii. It works really well, its super easy to assemble, and we are super happy with it. Injekto is also really robust and works great.
Fell absolutely in love with your content. Btw now we know what made those phones indestructible: the battery. 😂
Thanks, I appreciate hearing that 😊. I would say the phone still beat shredii despite not having its battery 😜. Cheers
Ha, this thing can solve my problems with 3d print failures in Seconds. ;-)
It is great 😊. Thanks for watching.
There was so much stress on the construction when you put the Nokia in, wow :D
Indeed hahaha, that phone really is tougher than one would assume 😂. Thanks again for watching, I always appreciate seeing your comments smile. I still think we should collaborate on a project 😉
Did you notice a few of the nokia shreds were on fire! too cool!
Good eye!
Would be really nice with one of these. Have kilos of failed prints that I would like to shred and melt into new filament.
That would be awesome.
You guys are amazing! I wish I had half the know-how you both have. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you 😊, we really appreciate hearing that 😃
Awesome thanks for the hard work, dedication, and demonstration.
Thank you for your support 😃
I have so much paper stuff, something like this would be a fantastic middle-machine for my burn barrel process.
hahaha, glad to hear. Feel free to check it out at actionbox.ca
I’d love to try and shred everything 😂

Why is the dual shaft not available?
Nokia never gave up until it's last breath. Inflicting damage at his last moment.
It put up a good fight 😂
@@ActionBOX definitely. Haha I think Nokia 3210 is one tougher contender for shreddy. Even tougher than 3310. Haha

I could put that to great use. I've been saving plastic caps and other plastics for years.
It shreds caps very easily that’s for sure.
Love the covers!
Thanks 😃. Safety first
Why did you use bushings and not bearings?
it looks very good, it would also be suitable for a little plastic from the printer and maybe aluminum

This nokia held on to the last of its strength and was able to break the slot key... Wow
Hahaha, it’s definitely hanging on to it’s status of being indestructible 😂
cool upgrade~
Thanks 😃
how do you make the hardened steel?
why do you need stepper motors for this instead of cheaper DC motors?
If the can tube was taller so you could stack multiple cans?
Yes that would work! They would just automatically feed into the shredder.
What chain and sprocket did you use for the gearbox? I'm unable to find a sprocket to fit the 20mm bore..
