SCRAP Humboldt parabolic wax melter
Abstract
Solar Wax Melter with 3D Printed Molds utilizes 3-D printing capabilities and the energy produced from the Sun to heat and re-purpose crayons, candles, and other waxes. The Solar Wax Melter is constructed out of common waste stream items and up-cycles them into a useful and interesting design whose main function is further up-cycling. This design was created in the Cal Poly Humboldt Engineering 215, for the client, SCRAP Humboldt whose goal is to "inspire creative reuse and environmentally sustainable behavior by providing educational programs and affordable materials to the community."
