What Is A Bottle Cutter For?
It'd be great if there were a 3D printer that took filament in this form.
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!
yes' so that we could save alot plastic.
Nice to see such a plastic bottle cutter as till now only glass bottle cutter were heaping to recycle empty wine bottle. Now, we can easily recycle good quality plastic bottle from coke too. Loved it.
My first thought also, transform bottles into 3D printer fodder.
A very similar object (perhaps not as cute as this) was developed by designers Alejandro Sarmiento and Miki Friedenbach in 2002 (yes, 14 years ago; you know, design is circular...) for a project called "Contenido Neto" (also based on the traditional strap-cutter used in leatherwork) in Argentina. You can view a publication of the project and background in this link, http://www.domusweb.it/en/design/2006/04/13/woven-from-waste-alejandro-sarmiento.html
I was wondering the same as well. It nice to see how the bottle transforms in the plastic string, though :)
