Home #3dprinting is fun. I like making fun things like #ttrpg minis, and useful things, like a spice rack organizer.

I like how they fit into #solarpunk story telling.

But until/unless one can recycle and more importantly, produce filament, it's still a centralized technology based on plastic.

I've only worked with basic PLA, and read a bit about PETG & the differences.

Are there any filament technologies that are recyclable / reusable or that can be produced locally from raw materials?

@pseudonym In addition to some of the options mentioned in other replies about recycling filament from scraps/previous prints, there are also companies recycling PET bottles into filament (e.g. https://bpetfilament.com/)

From what I hear it can be more finicky to work with than PLA and PETG, but it does work!
