A | Blender granule tests 3. Blending 1 minute, four large flat pieces (size around 13cm x 5,5cm; ±10gram) Input Blender Output Thoughts More material does result into a higher number of smaller pieces and is therefore a better result than test 1, but still worse than test 2. - What would happen if we filled the blender with the same amount material but then crumpled (larger volume, perhaps more impact). 4. Blending 1 minute, four large crumpled pieces (size around 13cm x 5,5cm; ±10gram) Input Blender Output Thoughts The First good results are in, lot of small pieces but there are still some larger parts. - The pieces bounce up and down, perhaps a smaller blender would fulfil better (might blend the material quicker). We think if we would fill the blender to the top the upper parts won’t hit the blender so a smaller blender would fit better. - Some extreme small pieces become static and are sticking to the side of the blender. - Longer blending could probably result into better pieces. 32 | Prototyping Lab (IO3028) - RepRap Recycle Add-on
