Some exciting news! 

We have been selected to attend The Global Gradshow in Dubai this November. At this conference, we will bring a Polyformer and a Polyformer-Lite to the show the filament recycling process. 

After the conference, I will be heading back to the US but Swaleh will be heading to Rwanda to deploy some Polyformers at local makerspaces. Also, Swaleh will be bringing a few kits that he will building in Rwanda with the help of some cool Rwandese makers. Ideally, our partner makerspaces in Rwanda will be able to use the machines to make there own filament instead of purchasing from abroad.

If you want to make your own Polyformer, you can build one from the kit at this link: https://dfh.fm/collections/new-products/products/polyformer-kit-by-reiten966.
