Fully 3D Printed Single-Shaft Shredder | Build-Video

I will assemble my originally designed, fully 3d-printed single-shaft shredder (dang, that was a lot of words).
It's honestly a fun project that I've been working on, and the ultimate goal is to recycle filament (and allow others to recycle filament for lower costs) with my personally-created equipment. Unfortunately, it seems that the single-shaft shredder version is not powerful enough to shred tough materials like paper and plastic, so I am currently developing a second edition with the same materials, but with two shafts (a dual-shaft shredder).

‪@LetsPrintYT‬ (A youtuber) made a shredder in the past, so maybe he can see this mention and comment on my video lol.
With that said, a thumbs-up on this video would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
