 Hey! Welcome to the Manly News! This month is kind of a shady month because we have to leave our entire workspace and everything needs to be out. So we're selling a lot and doing a big workspace sale. So we're selling a pink bench, ivory machines, prototypes, one exclusive cap, the only one in the world. So I would say have a look at this video at 4 minutes 45 to see how we're selling all of this and where to find it because there's a lot of good stuff in here which you could buy. Welcome to Manly News number 39 back in the Netherlands from our workspace and because last month I was in Bangladesh you might have seen it in the video and I found a very complex way to get home took me four days in airports and a photoshop ticket but I'm back. That video that I actually made the Manly News got the most views of any Manly News video ever. No, no, this is actually a problem. See that one stupid video got more views than any of our videos we made for price plastic version four. It basically means the YouTube algorithm is in control. They decide what to spread and promote on their platform and it's now mainstream media that talks about corona and not videos about tutorials on how to recycle plastic. It almost forces me to talk about corona as well but I don't want to do that. But most of our audience are quite clever bright people like yourself and they don't want to spend all their time on the internet commenting liking every fart that is out there. However, we are up against this algorithm that sort of based their decisions on the interaction you have. So we kind of need to work with it a bit as well but we do want to stay pure to the message we want to share. So I just wanted to let you guys know how important it is to subscribe, like or comment to these videos because they really help to spread this information into the world and I would say don't do it for this rough quick Manly News videos. They don't really deserve that but do it for the price plastic videos, the useful tutorials, the free information, the story hopper videos that have a lot of knowledge in them, engage there because that really helps to spread the information into the world. Anyway, I just wanted to give some updates on the algorithm situation. Next topic. All right, so now to the news part and this is not going to be very positive so let me share you our misery. So first off this month we got a fine. They actually send it out on paper and it's a fine because we used an image on the internet which was apparently not copyright free. We used it three years ago on our website to show an image of people recycling plastic. So it's that image. I mean I kind of get it but also boring. And we were working on some super cool projects like making a massive brick wall in Milan and we actually do these projects to sustain financially fresh plastic but yeah that's now all canceled due to coronavirus. FAME, the organization that gave us an award last year so we could make version 4, still had to pay 30 000 euros so they were about to transfer that last bit which we had reserved to pay our bills. However they also have some problems with money shifting around due to coronavirus so that has been delayed so we need to bridge that 30 000 euro gap all bills. Yeah I mean challenging time during corona period but actually this wasn't even the worst. The worst thing is that the municipality they found chromium 6 in the building of our workspace and it is on the paint that is applied 40 years ago it's always been there. It's on the metal structures and they found it and it's not harmful but we do need to leave the building within one month. So we need to move our workspace in one month in corona time which is quite challenging when most of the people in our team are actually back home with their family to stay safe. And we don't really have a plan B. I mean we don't really know where to go. We haven't really had an alternative prepared. So yeah that is going to be quite a challenge to move because we have a lot of stuff like our workspace is big. Office, kitchen, tools, machines, metal, old prototypes, products we made precious plastic machines and our storage area with prototypes materials old motors and supplies a lot of stuff. Welcome to our first ever and hopefully the last one ever workspace sale where everything is for sale most of it because some stuff is also free. So basically we have a lot of things so here is more furniture so 40 people a lot of chairs, tables, couches it's a bit more household stuff as well also smaller things like plates, cutlery stuff like that. We also have some pieces of furniture I made years ago this retro design furniture for your computer you could have your display here you can work big computer here on the side but no one has a computer anymore so that doesn't make sense but you can still buy it it's cool. We also have more our old technology here like lights, tripods, screens, tattoo gun some old machine components so heating elements motors but also bigger machines like a table saw compressors a robot arm this is actually a lot of useful things and also our own precious plastic corner prototypes you make test try out beautiful things like our big diamond you can find those all on the bazaar but this one is going to be very expensive. Then here is more the workspace inventory so some basic shelves but also old prototypes so for instance shredder machines extruder this big ass extruder crew it's an industrial one I always wanted to make a big extruder but I never managed to do it or at least not in that size so maybe you want to do that we have some old sheet presses yeah a lot of prototypes they look very rough but they do most of them still function but they could use some love and care you could be the proud owner of this monthly news sign version one it's a classic one you could put it in your toilet it's a lot of demand for that and here we have more shredded plastic sorted out on different types but also often sorted on different colors so if you're a precious plastic workspace this might be very useful for you we also have some wood and beams just stuff useful materials we found in our workspace and here for some reason we had a lot of these white plans pedestal exhibition things I never know the English name for this but it's to showcase your products on they just take a lot of space but yeah they also need to go so overall there's a lot of diverse things in here and all most of our listings are online so you can find either the precious plastic stuff on the bazaar or more the machine components and the materials on markplaats.nl it's a Dutch website but yeah I put two accounts of those websites in the description below so you can see all our listings or you can also make an appointment and drop by because all of this really needs to go within three weeks and it's going to be put online tomorrow so it's really going to be a rush to get everything out but we really do want everything out we also have a wall climbing grip so I would say drop by I just wanted to use the drum cut for something but I don't have a joke so yeah now we go to the community news from Kat. All right so I would say let's end these monthly news with a little bit more positive news thanks to the community and first of all there's a very nice new how-to from James Goreng who shows his mobile recycling setup on a bicycle so he can actually while he cycles collect and shred plastic and then he has a very low-tech process to melt this plastic into small sheets yeah and it's just a pretty cool setup to demonstrate the whole process in a mobile and simple way so head to the community platform and check out how it's done then another very useful how-to is the rapid fire technique from Keytech who show how to speed up the whole injection molding process so you can actually produce more inject more items in a shorter amount of time which allowed them to produce quite high amount of protective masks recently which brings me to our community highlight this month the precious plastic COVID-19 response yeah as many of you might know many countries are in shortage of personal protective equipment for the corona situation so they are asking make a lapse to produce the that required equipment for them and having the ability and the equipment to produce plastic items many precious plastic workspaces worldwide saw their potential to really help and work day and night to come up with solutions to produce these needed equipment for local hospitals and health workers so we helped them collecting all these solutions and bring them all into one place online so that all the different precious plastic workspaces worldwide could find them and help locally more easily so now we have a number of different techniques and molds for making face shields respirator masks and hands-free door openers so you don't have to touch the door all open source online so that anyone from you guys who have precious plastic injection machine can take those files and techniques and start producing and helping locally so huge thanks for all those heroes who put effort and and energy into making that happen and what I find so powerful about this case is that it shows how relevant it is to have local manufacturers even if they are small who can quickly and independently react to local needs and in that case precious plastic solutions have even more strength because the injection molding process is up to 75 times faster than 3d printing solutions so really a big potential and yeah I think that's really to keep in mind and I'm sure that there are many more examples where we can really use fully use this potential of being a precious plastic workspace yeah that's it thank you take care of yourselves and of others if you can and see you next month ah and buy stuff from the bazaar and if you're in the Netherlands drop by and get some stuff here there's a lot of cool stuff I'm off bye
