It Was Clear...
The electronics NEEDED to go
Plastics were less of a concern, but any reduction possible
would further increase the sustainability of my project
I encountered the following...

Nowhere to put
excess pulp
Nowhere to put oranges
while juicing
The carafe was useless and
was extra cleaning work
