Our solution was to ream the holes to 11.95mm, followed by heating the blocks to 250 degrees and pressure fit the heating element in to the holes." title: "See document: Updates V4-FF" images: - contentType: "image/jpeg" fullPath: "uploads/howtos/g1xL0SOktGgEnvdAZew3/document.jpg" name: "document.jpg" timeCreated: "2020-09-08T14:30:49.011Z" updated: "2020-09-08T14:30:49.011Z" size: 137953 downloadUrl: "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2Fg1xL0SOktGgEnvdAZew3%2Fdocument.jpg?alt=media&token=20f72f81-6129-42b7-a2f8-b10c86d1b6d7" type: "image/jpeg" - downloadUrl: "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2Fg1xL0SOktGgEnvdAZew3%2F20200529_133007.jpg?alt=media&token=f3cd1c18-f3f8-4977-abea-22eb32400193" updated: "2020-09-17T08:31:33.845Z" contentType: "image/jpeg" type: "image/jpeg" size: 79657 fullPath: "uploads/howtos/g1xL0SOktGgEnvdAZew3/20200529_133007.jpg" timeCreated: "2020-09-17T08:31:33.845Z" name: "20200529_133007.jpg" - images: - contentType: "image/jpeg" updated: "2020-09-08T14:29:34.580Z" fullPath: "uploads/howtos/g1xL0SOktGgEnvdAZew3/screenshot 3d-cad.jpg" timeCreated: "2020-09-08T14:29:34.580Z" type: "image/jpeg" size: 34624 downloadUrl: "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2Fg1xL0SOktGgEnvdAZew3%2Fscreenshot%203d-cad.jpg?alt=media&token=a2a32200-3944-4716-bbf9-df9d36d3147e" name: "screenshot 3d-cad.jpg" - timeCreated: "2020-09-08T14:29:34.529Z" size: 27455 updated: "2020-09-08T14:29:34.529Z" downloadUrl: "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2Fg1xL0SOktGgEnvdAZew3%2Fexploded%20view.jpg?alt=media&token=4f32bb2e-295e-456c-bceb-6d5fca1a6f8a" fullPath: "uploads/howtos/g1xL0SOktGgEnvdAZew3/exploded view.jpg" name: "exploded view.jpg" type: "image/jpeg" contentType: "image/jpeg" title: "See CAD files" _animationKey: "unique2" text: "All sheets and tubes are optimised for lasercutting & bended sheet metal.

This way you can track the electricity needed, and thereafter calculate this to a Co2 load.\n\nWe added signal lights on each group and old ceramic fuses. The signal lights gives visual feedback when a heatign group is active. The ceramic fuses protect the heating goups in case of a short circuit. We discovered ceramic is needed since they can get a bit hot.\n" title: "See electric & BOM diagram" _animationKey: "unique3" - text: "The first commercial client where we used our machine for is The Student Hotel in Delft. From post-production HDPE plastic we made the black&white cladding of their bar. The client wanted us to incoporate their waste streams which where mainly (HDPE) bottle-caps from soda bottles. The caps are melted in to the plate's.\n\nAlso we used a lot of PET plastic plate's from Smile plastics in England. With the help of the Sheetpress we could easily bend them for the rounded bars.\n\nThe blue-white plates from PS where made by the Good Plastic Company." images: - size: 2901 fullPath: "uploads/howtos/g1xL0SOktGgEnvdAZew3/Naamloos.jpg" contentType: "image/jpeg" downloadUrl: "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/onearmyworld.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fhowtos%2Fg1xL0SOktGgEnvdAZew3%2FNaamloos.jpg?alt=media&token=b0c0baaf-c2e2-4423-91ae-27b130c00295" type: "image/jpeg" timeCreated: "2020-09-21T14:51:14.170Z" name: "Naamloos.jpg" updated: "2020-09-21T14:51:14.170Z" _animationKey: "uniquejwkj4r" title: "Making plastic precious again!" _createdBy: "leendert-sonneveld" _deleted: false title: "Sheetpress v4 - Fiction Factory version" _modified: "2020-09-22T07:28:42.237Z" images: []
