PaperBot
Turning waste paper into a useful material for 3D printers and more
The UK creates tons of waste paper every year
Recycling reduces the quality of the paper after every turn, eventually leading to short fibered low quality paper
Domestic 3D printers could be used to turn the waste paper into more valued products

Final Design
The PaperBot allows for waste paper (particularly shredded paper, whose fibres have been cut really short), to be blended down with a few environmentally friendly ingredients. The blender jug can then be moved over to the press. This then extrudes the pulp through the nozzle, which you can either plug into a 3D printer (with an adapter) or use free hand for really experimental stuff!!
