I want to use my shredder at home in the 'garage' and we only have normal UK plugs. I was wondering why nobody said anything about that in Discord. Glad I've seen your How-to. \n\nNoticed you are using a single shaft, my shredder would be dual. Well, let's see how I tackle this challenge. Thanks again for your post - really helpful."

  - text: "If you can access to a VFD it is highly reccomended and your motor and machine would be thankfull if you do it. Besides that also your electricity supply will be thankfull too (doesn´t matter if you run your shredder in solar, batteries, water, or you are just conected to the grid). If you cannot access to a VFD you can also tryout to run your motor in single phase using capacitors. \n\nThis time I have used a VFD Delta 1.5kW singlephase but you can use any VFD that fits your needs. \nImportant that you use one able to handle the watts of your motor or above, the volts input of your motor and important the VFD uses single-phase input."

These parameters have a lot to do with your motor, so get your motor specs before starting. (These are engraved on a little metal sheet in your motor)\nI would recommend you to find your VFD manual for this stage. \n\nIn this case I will show you the parameters for a DELTA VFD015EL21A and a 1.5kW 3phase motor.\n"

Which means that you would be able to plug it in anyplace you go. This is quite usefull if you like to go around with your shredder or if your workspace has only single-phase electricity.\n\nThe reverse function is quite cool when your shredder gets jammed.\n\n"

    description: "We are a mobile plastic recycling workspace, traveling around europe. We help people to find their place and join us in the fight against plastic pollution. We advise people how to join the Precious Plastic community and start a physical Precious Plastic workspace/collection point, make small-scale productions, and develop social projects. Have a look at our blog to see what we have been up to so far.\nhttps://fairenough.notion.site/Fair-Enough-9c5d2fd95d7d4685a56fff9dc80907ad\n\nOur workspace is made up of an injection machine, v3 shredder, v3 extruder, and a nice house on wheels to go wherever is needed!"
