 I'm back here at Murph 2021 and we're at the Greengate 3D booth. Thank you so much for sponsoring us to be here. We really appreciate that. This has been an awesome show. It's been warm and hot and wet, but it has been awesome. There's some really cool stuff here, including all the stuff we see on their Greengate 3D booth. So I'm here with Rich and Chris and you tell us a little bit about Greengate 3D to start and then we'll talk about what you brought and that kind of thing. So I come from the land of plastics recycling. I've been in the business for 22 years and about two years ago I looked at our supply chain and I thought, what do we have that has an interesting story that we can also move into another market. And I started doing some research and PETG is a material that was up and coming in the 3D printing world and moving forward, fast forward, here we are. So our scrap supply is actually PETG packaging. From that it gets converted into these pellets. So this gets converted into this? Into this, that's correct. And then from this it gets extruded into filament. This company is Terafilm. Chris does about 60% of our extrusion and he's in Kerry, Illinois and we've done a fair amount of business together. Our next material is going to be this. This is flexible TPU, it's from Medical. Nice clean, consistent product and from that Chris has extruded it into TPU. So this is our second iteration. Right now we're working on holding the diameter. It's pretty soft. It looks pretty soft. What shore is this? That's around a 90's shore. Maybe a little wide, like the map, maybe around 87. The scrap material is in 83. So we're not going to turn this straight into filament so we're going to have to firm it up. This is going to be 100% recycled. This is going to be roughly 70%. So we're going to have some virgin in it and that's just to keep it dimensionally stable. That's awesome. So Chris, you've extruded most of it. Can you tell us a little bit about the extrusion process, like taking it, we go from the plastic, we go to the pellets and then you take it and make it the rolls that we see? Sure. So we're happy to be here supporting Rich. Springgate is a great company. This is a fantastic product. Our filament business was founded on sustainability and this fits right with those goals. We have sustainable products. This product in particular was one of the most sustainable out there. So I was like, absolutely we want to be part of this. We take this material that we get from Rich and we process it a little bit ahead of time just to make sure we've got the same size pellets, we make sure that we've got everything ready to go. We obviously dry PETG extensively before we run it and then we turn it into a monofilament, both 175 and 285. This is just a fantastic product. It's got lots of different colors. I can't believe how well that for a 100% recycled product, how well this stuff really prints. It's just fabulous. Right. I got a question real quick. When you take it from this and maybe we want to go to the green or the purple, what are you adding to it to get to that? What kind of dye? Is it PETG? Yeah, we have a lot of different PETG and other material carriers we use for the pigment packages. Okay. But the pigment packages are so cool with a lot of different things that he can do with it. I just can't say enough and I love the transparency that we're able to do. Yeah. It's just fabulous. They look great. And Chris's pigments, they all have a UV package. So those that are left out in the light are going to keep that color. Oh, nice. Not every pigment will do that. That's correct. That's very cool. All of his do. So there's an upside also to his packages. That's cool. Now you can see this thing is rock solid. This is only 15% filled. Oh wow. It's got a good weight to it too. Exactly. Nice. And not many people make an olive drab either. We're proud to say. That's what I really like the colors. We've done some purple rain, which is a huge popular, they sold out Friday, right? They sold out Friday. They were here Friday and they set up and they sold out a purple rain on Friday. That's this color here. And also there's that one over here too. And you know the cool... Not modeled after me. Yeah. Mine would be far kind of. And you guys did the Billy Rubin color, right? The cherry pie, I think, right? That's this one here. Is that this one? Yes. Yes, that's this one. That's this one here. And that's a really cool color. So if you want to check out Billy Rubin's cherry pie, click the link in the description below and check this out because that is such an awesome color. But all their colors are really good. It prints really well and I'm just happy to be, you know, partnering with you guys for Merf 2021 along with things because a lot of these models can be actually found on things, which is really cool. Yeah. So check out things. Thanks for sponsorship things as well. And what else we got? We got this giant spool. We need to talk about this really quick. You know, if one of these one kilogram spools don't... Can I hold it? Yeah. Oh. Don't shoot you. We're working on a 33 pound spool here of PETG. Wait, wait. This is going to be 33 pounds? Yes. Correct. So how do you like us now? Yeah. Yeah. I think I'm going to need a bigger spool holder. We're going to need a bigger pump. Yeah. That's going to be awesome. I tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to get... This guy won't do it. Yeah. I'm going to take four of these. I'm going to build a spool racer for next year. Chuck and pooch. I'm coming for you because these are going to be the wheels of my spool racer. So, you know, I can't say enough about the sustainability of all of this stuff. And, you know, everything that we're doing between TerraFilm and Greengate is just so positive. I just want to thank Rich for having us be a part of it, MRF 2021. It's awesome. That's awesome. And your extrusion... You're close to me. I'm just up in Wisconsin. Awesome. So I'm going to have to come down and check out the lines. Would that be cool? Yeah, absolutely. That would be awesome. Road trip. We're going to go check out his extrusion lines because that would be a lot of fun. We'll pick up one of these while we're down there because shipping on this might be a little rough. 33 pounds. That's going to be awesome. We'll send a pallet. We'll send a pallet. Well, thanks, guys. I really appreciate the time. I would like to say a couple other things. Yeah, go ahead. Jump in. If you guys don't mind. First, we really appreciate our first responders. So we offer a lifetime discount for all military. 15 percent is built in. Military guys don't have to do it and gals. Active and former. You don't have to do anything. You just check out. We use IDME. Automatically discounts it. Same with ambulance, nurses, any first responder. Teachers and students. They get 10 percent. Military is 15. We actually created a military line. The aforementioned olive drab. Sandman tan. Dark chocolate. And we're working on coffee. This is Mars red. But it's a military color, not U.S. And we're going to do coffee. So we'll be able to offer that package. Oh, cool. Working on a sustainable spool. This is made of cardboard. Recycled cardboard. It is recyclable. This is our prime time line. So the PETG is recyclable. And so it comes in pieces like this. That's awesome. Right. Can you re-spool these when you're done? Can I throw something else on there if I want to? Yeah. So one of the cool things is you have the ability, of course from a sustainability standpoint, you can send those back. We can re-spool them. Okay. Are those files out there if we wanted to make our own spools? Or is that only you guys? Not yet. Not yet. Okay. We can do it. We can upload it to both of our company's websites. Yeah. I mean, if it's open source, that's awesome. If not, we get it because that's a pretty cool product, too. Yeah. I mean, one of the things we started experimenting with was these on our big nine kilogram spools. So we brought it down into the realm of one kilogram spools. And yeah, it's a pretty cool thing. Yeah. That's pretty cool. I like it. I like the idea of the reusable spools, especially. You can print any colors you want. You can make your own spools. That'd be awesome. Yeah, correct. Awesome. Cool. Speaking of the largest spool, this guy here, we just started a 285 line. So we went, we transitioned. There you go. But we grew into the 2.85. So we've got a couple of industrial accounts now. We're looking to grow that end of the business. So any of you guys are out there, please give us a call. So if you're extruding 285, they can help you out, too. That'd be pretty cool. Well, I really appreciate you guys having us out. Thank you so much for the sponsorship. I'm glad you came because we could talk about the actual extrusions, too. Rich, it's been awesome, man. I appreciate it. We got a lot of time left. We're going to hang out. You know what we're going to do? We'll make sure Tara Philham is part of MRF 2022. Let's do it. So we'll get together. I think we'll be next door to that. I love it. I love it. Well, thanks again to things for having us. Thanks for Greengate 3D for bringing us out here as well. Right here at MRF 2021. We'll see you. Thank you.
