Great idea

I actually wrote up a how-to, with tips from my experience building one, not that long ago: https://bairdlabs.wordpress.com/2014/08/02/pet-shredder-prototypes/

The biggest conclusion I reached is having a method of spooling the plastic while making it is vital. But it’s also pretty simple, I even 3D printed a spool to do it with.

@Stephen_Baird Awesome write-up! I re-posted this a while back on the 3D printing G+ and I’m really happy to see an English article on it!
