The Filabot recycles scrap plastic into inexpensive 3D printing filaments

Brian Dodson

Desktop 3D printers have hit price-points that make them as affordable as color laser printers. But they also share the same problem – replacing the printing medium costs an arm and a leg. A kilogram of plastic filament costs about US$50, meaning the cost of turning your ideas into reality can quickly add up. But now the Filabot, a miniature plastic recycling plant, will provide a wide variety of plastic filaments from scrap.

E ainda no tema da protecção térmica, este incrível Gel, do Site da Inventables, que vos permite isolarem térmicamente do fogo dum Maçarico, o que borrifarem com o Gel, como o Vídeo dramáticamente ilustra:

Heat-Shielding Gel

Temporarily protects surfaces in temperatures up to 7500 °F

As shown in this video Heat-Shielding Gel is a heat-shielding product that is available as a spray-on gel or as a more effective paste. It can temporarily shield virtually any solid material from temperatures up to an incredible 7500 ºF (4100 ºC). Once applied to a material, it acts both as a heat shield and as a heat sink, absorbing heat from the material. This material can make red-hot metals cool enough to touch in seconds and can keep fires from reigniting. Heat-Shielding Gel is non-toxic and environmentally safe.
