I am passionate about finding ways to recycle waste prints and filament, so I needed a filament pelletizer. None of those already published quite met my requirements, so I designed my own from scratch.

This video also aims to help Naomi Wu, a maker with the utmost integrity, who has put the community first repeatedly. Her actions have drawn negative attention from her government, and she effectively cannot post on social media anymore.If you need a threaded insert heat press, support Naomi by purchasing this one from her store:

This product was sent to me free of charge by Naomi for the purpose of testing, BEFORE I learned of her current situation. I was happy to pay for one, but she is very generous. It has been tested in accordance with my review policy and all opinions expressed are my own: https://teachingtechyt.github.io/revi...
