   Dear Make,

   I hope you will incessantly urge the DIY movement to grow beyond blinky toys and guns. Especially guns.

   The 3-D printing movement and Tyler McInerny’s Filabot are so exciting. I imagine legions of young people becoming fabulous recyclers, walking down the street, picking up discarded plastic items, thinking: “This is exactly what I need to make_______!”

   I imagine oceans without islands of plastic. I imagine oceans without islands of plastic. I imagine oceans without islands of plastic…

   I imagine manufacturers and the whole packaging industry stamping a number on every single piece of molded plastic, so that it can be easily reworked.

   I imagine companies like 3M creating packaging labeling that can be easily peeled from plastic packaging, without solvents, so that every square inch of the plastic can be recycled or reformed.

   I imagine legions of young people putting to shame legions of adults, like the ones who drive up and down my road, hurling cans and bottles from their car windows!

   Let’s all work on this together!

     Regarding the Filabot – I was disappointed that Make’s Ultimate 3D Printing Guide didn’t include this. I met Tyler and his Filabot at a local Mini Maker Faire and thought it was a great idea.

     We all now have paper shredders in our house to protect against identity theft. Who will create and market the plastic shredder that create plastic for my 3D printer by recycling unused plastic??

   Hi make I would like to get some help on the touchless 3D tracking interface. I need help on the processing sketch and Arduino sketch part. Can I skip processing and paste the code on the Arduino and upload it. If you can please send me a instruction page, that would really help. I am asking you for help because I thought this is an awesome project that I could try. I hope you can help me.

   Thanks, namangup.1@gmail.com
