Week 18 Invention, Intellectual Property and Income
Since I don't plan to sell my project, I'm not really interested in widely sharing the idea. But if I had to say how I would disseminate it, it would probably be through my private social media accounts (though I doubt it would reach far) and the FabLab's own website.
Regarding my usage license, since I've never done this before, I didn't know what to choose, but I used this one in the page of Creative Commons
The name of my project is P.V.T.A., which is an acronym for Precision Vertical Thermoplastic Apparatus.

As for future possibilities, I would definitely work on giving it a better structure, because the current one is not properly aligned. Another possibility would be to add a motor with a leadscrew so that it functions not only as an injector but also as an extruder that can be used to create spools of recycled plastic. This would involve machining the leadscrew and creating a mount to place the motor, as well as setting up the necessary control wiring.
Finally, I made sure that my video and presentation slide were accessible through this year's FabLab link.
