Ingredients:
- Crushed limestone powder (mussel)
- 2.5% Sodium alginate
Ratio_ 1:0.5
After numerous tests, we were unable to successfully 3D print the pot. The use of the 3D printer, initially considered for this creation, turned out to be an insurmountable challenge for the specific blend of limestone powder and sodium alginate. This technical complexity led us to adapt our initial vision, understanding that the 3D printing process was not feasible for this particular combination of materials.
Despite the difficulties, the Ecoshell project is not considered a failure but rather an opportunity to learn and grow. The knowledge gained about the properties of materials, their limitations, and the functioning of the 3D printer has been invaluable. Therefore, despite not achieving the desired functional pot, we carry with us all the accumulated experience and enthusiasm for future explorations at the intersection of technology and sustainability.
