I would feel so bad for using so much plastic. I already feel like this when using a spool every couple of months.

@callcc @Rutty would it make you feel better to use recycled filament?

I am not opposed, assuming there isn’t a severe quality concern. I would rather like a way to recycle my waste plastic. There isn’t really anyone local that will recycle PETG or PLA.

@Rutty there is a way first cut the plastic then use a blender on ice crush but be sure its normal plastic second it has to be sorted by thermodynamics & shade of color

Yes! They do exist. It’s about $20k USD to get a system that will recycle filament.

I’ve also looked at the idea of using pelletized plastic and molds to make other products, like dominos for example.

@Rutty yes for the same thing for under $200 cdn just a smaller size but you can get a blender like a magic bullet (tm) or a ninja blender
