Fixed, mon censor. It was late last night, sorry for the mess up.

It’s not without flaws, but I would recommend.

Just know that it adds time and waste to prints.

There is also a nice feature that allows you to automatically switch over to a new roll when the 1st roll runs out. That’s nice.

At the moment, sculptures. They are between 200-300g per print. I am kicking off prints twice a day, for three printers.

Ideally. Right now, I feel like I am just building a knowledge of art history.

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,

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.

PET is used in plastic water bottles, PETG is considered a contaminant and typically not part of the recycled waste stream, at least in the US. Same for PLA.

Although as you noted to pelletize plastic a blender would be a good place to start. The question then becomes what do you do with the pellets of plastic?

From my understanding it takes a system like this www.filabot.com/products to produce filament from waste plastic. That’s not to say you can’t used the pellets in some other way.

It was either an x1c or p1p. It’s in PETG, spray painted. Dimensions are ~ 250mm tall, 5”x5” base.

My Mini Factory has a project called Scan the World. Stuff like this can be found there.
