3d printing, melting plastic in sandwich machine, waffle machine, making real waffles



Logbook:
Idea 1:
shredding plastic to make into filament; use mini shredder ie FilaMaker mini shredder
and then you could shred them and re make into 3d printing filaments

Idea 2:
You could recycle plastic by melting them into a paste - using sandwich iron/ waffle iron,  and use that as a solid material - see youtube

Step 1:: 28oct2014
-Bought two second hand waffle machines ; 2euros each. at Emmaus.
-One heart shaped single Belgian waffle machine 650watt
-One multi pattern thin waffle cookie machine, 1000watt

Control references:
Ques:: Are the waffle machines working correctly?  In gd working order?
Ans :: Maybe... gd idea to test the functioning capacity of the waffle machines first!
So will make some bona fide waffle to see that the machines work correctly!







Receipe :

Egg White Powered Waffles:
Separate the egg whites and save the yellows and let them come to room temperature, if possible. Beat the egg whites until they have soft peaks, but not too dry. Mix up the other ingredients separately and slowly add them to the beaten egg whites and blend them together gently with a spatula so as not to knock all the air out of the egg whites. They do not need to be completely mixed, just nicely blended.
2 cups of flour (you can use any combination of different flours)
2 Eggs (separated)
2 cups of milk
1/2 tsp. salt
3 to 8 tablespoons of cooking oil or butter

Idea 3:
using sl as virtual world art studio, build an object, export to real life
use filament to print them out
