After many iterations, we have finally made mini DIY shredders a reality with our latest SHREDII 5.0 design. This homemade shredder was tested against wood, plastic, aluminum, steel, and even the indestructible Nokia 3310. This shredder is a great addition to our DIY machine shop, and we use it primarily for recycling 3D prints by taking the granules that come out of the DIY shredder and using them with INJEKTO 2.0, our DIY injection molding machine, to create new plastic injected parts.
This SHREDII is designed for use with two horsepower AC motors and two high torque gearboxes, and in this video we also tested its strength by shredding pure copper rings that we have leftover from a DIY vacuum furnace that we are building. We will be releasing that video along with a new DIY CNC, DIY Lathe, DIY Metal 3D printer and DIY EDM V2 videos in the near future.
We hope this DIY shredder will enable those with minor shredding requirements to continue moving forward with their recycling projects.

I use a grinder with a wood carving blade and a funnel. Cheap and all parts readily available, no expensive 50 or so blades to fit together etc
Handheld grinder or table mounted?
Also, how do you keep the bits from flying all over the place?
@@toxomanrod Hand held angle grinder mounted on a bit of plate steel and then a long funnel around the blade with a small hole for the ground bits to exit. It can grind bits to a powder or larger bits depending on the individual blade type being used, 3 blades, 4 blades, just look up wood carving angle grinder disc. I'll upload a video one day, you can see my other 3D printed projects on my channel.
I actually have a 1 hp ac motor i picked up by accident i think that would work perfect but unsure of what kind of gear reduction i need any help would be awsome
Do you still sell you 3.0? I don't need a shredder this strong, just 3.0 strength for plastic bottles. I like the 3.0 design best for my application.
What is the gear ratio of the gearbox? I'm curious how much tourque this would make.
Hey that's sweet! I've been doing "small" shredders for like 9 years now (lots of vids on channel). If you have any questions about shredders I'd be happy to help.
use it to crush and recycle ceramic for high heat applications / custom refractory mixes etc
Ooo that's a good idea! The shredder can be used for so many things. Do you work with ceramics?
@@ActionBOX never have. just a green business idea. people throw away old toilets which are made of porcelain. these could be crushed to dust then built back into something valuable IMO.
Good point, thanks for sharing :)
Will this shred, say, a 1x3x4" piece of 100% infill PLA?
Crushed up terra cotta is a soil ammendment that increases cation exchange capacity so that sandy soils can hold onto more nutrients. It is thought to be a constituent of terra preta.
It can be thrown to ocean to create more water that way!
hey action box i have a idea a 3d printer filament maker for the schredii
Cool idea! Perhaps we’re already working on one 👀
heheheehehe
@@ActionBOX
Let’s see how it would hold up against the Nokia this time. I noticed even though you still used a keyway, the keyway is bigger which may make it stronger compared to the smaller key before.
Nokias are becoming rare these days. I’ll try when I get my hands on one 😂
This channel should be renamed as " Shredder Box"
LOL we do love shredders!
The design misses the part where desktop device should be as compact as possible.... are two motors really necessary?
No, our latest design therefore only has 1 motor. Check out SHREDII 5s on our website actionbox.ca
Where’s the link for the foundry?
Here it is: czcams.com/video/ch9bCGDV5wU/video.html
This would be great if you werent sold out.
Hey! This is one of our most popular products. It's available for purchase on the website now with a current lead time of 3 weeks. Check out: www.actionbox.ca
Has anyone used these to recycle acrylic?
Ive used it with thin acrylic sheets! Worked fine
Nice shredder but how does shredding circuit boards lead to them being recycled?
Now all it need is an enclosure
It actually has an enclosure to protect the operator from the blades. We removed it for the sake of this demonstration.
Seeing your hands that close to the blades makes me so nervous. Imagining what would happen if you accidentally caught your fingers and started getting pulled down, when would it stop shredding your hand? Until it gets to your shoulder?😬
For your sake, and the sake of anyone who tries this, please implement some safety features
Thanks for bringing that up! SHREDII does have safety covers that cover the blades to protect the user. For the sake of the demonstrations in this video, we removed the covers and took extra precautions. Hope you enjoyed the video :)
Bro each time you put something in there i get anxious.... How about safety?
have a smaller motor but put on a flywheel. lulz
put your hand in there
again, completly overengeneered. (Why havent you used more Gears?)
