I need to know how companies make Eco flex soft material and where they get it from how do they get it from the earth I want to be able to make it my self.

I've been researching papercraft toy guns recently. Wonder if those parts could be molded out of scraps and rice this way instead of piles of craft cardboard and superglue.

Have you tried with hemp paper? It gets very hard and is called Hempstone.

I need help with a mold

Seems good for sound absorption panels since the material is cheap and I think less reflective than pla. A single press could fill a wall and they are large but flat so not hard to dry cunny

Great video, dude. Congrats. I have a question, hopefully you'll see it and, even better, answer it. Some decades ago I visited the California Science Center and one of the exhibitions had an insect infestation because they used... oat, I believe, as the binding component. I'm wondering if using the rice paste won't incur in the same risk.

I love you !

OMG they still exist and this time is nots reversed! 😲

These seem like a great medium to make sound isolation panels out of, for basically free.

You seem long.

If you used Titebond 3 or perhaps even epoxy (though you'd need to cure your pieces) as your binder, instead of Elmer's glue, you would gain a great deal of water resistance, and your objects would be more suitable for use in something like a sculpture... Man this video was awesome, you got my head spinning with ideas!

you can also change settings in your slicer (cura etc) and see how print times change. Im using a .8 mm nozzle and .7mm layer height currently since I am printing bigger things that do not have detail, do not need to be smooth, and will not be holding weight. So far these prints are finishing faster and work fine.

You probably won't respond to this, but; Have you tried mixing the cardboard with plastic? Then 3d printing with the mix?

Although this is a four year old video I will say making it out of abaca banana plant fibers will make it more water resistant and increase strength, even if you mix it half and half with recycled cellulose. You can also include certain additives for example latex which is biodegradable but would greatly increase water resistance and overall strength. There are other natural ingredients like gelatin or chiton powders which will have similar effects but increase rigidity.

There’s a paper slip casting product called, Flumo…l think it comes from Spain, that works with plaster molds. I’ve been trying to make my own, but nothing promising, so far!

Can you add it with moss seeds?

You could use a wood stabiliser like "Cactus Juice" (& a vacuum chamber). That would impregnate all the cellulose fibres, and make it not only resistant to water, but hard enough to use almost any woodworking process (lathe, drill, saw, dowels, screws etc.)

why no videos in last few weeks????

Great work. What about as a substrate for fiberglass the way people use foam

It looks ideal to make seed pucks.

@XYZAidan - would it be possible to use 100% cotton fabrics scraps to make the pulp?

I wish companies used it in packaging instead of styrofoam.

Pretty cool idea and use of stuff that would otherwise be trash.

Very Nice!

I have discovered how to water proof paper products. And these products become more stronger than it's original form. © Paint with melted polythene bags.

I love this! My brain just went on 500 tangents for how to use this

Neat idea

Could you make internal structures of a speaker with this? I mean the inside of the speaker doesn’t need to be watertight, right?

I believe that small containers made using this process would be PERFECT as planters for seedlings. Then, instead taking the seedlings out of a plastic container, the entire thing could be stuck into the ground to grow the plants. Excellent work XYZAidan!

Nice video

Bravo!!!!

Make a sphere, sand then polish it to a high shine. See how shiny you can get it.

Could really use you now to reverse engineer that $2500 willson 3d printed basketball on a fdm printer.

that was not the voice i expected

I can't wait to see all the remixes for this. I have a ton of boxes laying around already.

Wax

how durable are these?=

Aidan, whats a better way to contact you to show you something related to this, that jsnt just a text based UA-cam comment?

From what I've read, PVA glue can be broken down by bacteria into Water, Acetic acid , and natural gases including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

Now I can make my own Ikea-quality furniture from egg boxes :D

Are you worried about MOLD?

Super cool concept, I like the versatility of the material, and it's complete compostability!

This video is awesome. Thank you for sharing and explaining everything so clearly. Great details. I think it's great what you're going. Thanks again

Well done man.

Imagine if you added some glue?

4 years on how is it holding up?

A possible idea for waterproofing: If paper is soluble in orange oil, you could dissolve beeswax and paper in orange oil. After pressing, the orange oil will evaporate and the beeswax is left behind. This should make the thing waterproof(ish)...maybe. Downsides: it will most probably be flammable, it will smell from orange oil for a long time and depending on the polymer used for the mould, the orange oil could also dissolve the mould. But if paper is not soluble in water, you could soak it in a solution of beeswax and orange oil in order to make it waterproof(ish).

This is very interesting! Thanks for making the video about it. Waterproof cardboard bicycles exists, so I don't see why you couldn't waterproof anything you make with this process.

Thats a beautiful PK cell holder there
