Anyone out there making or wishing they could make their own printer filament?
A friend of mine ist quiete deep into extrusion but the problem left is still the preparation of parts that go into recyling. Shredding and stuff.
Me wishing , mainly because of the shipping price for international purchase
@Devadath_P.R do you have cheaper access to the pellets that you would use to make the filament or would recycling be the best way for you?
@John_Ecker_GeoDroidJ I use to sell the pellet depends on type of material u want
@John_Ecker_GeoDroidJ
I do have cheaper access to pellets , but that’s not from eBay or amazon , i don’t know how much they cost for shipping .
I would mix fresh pellets and recycled plastic and make the filament.
Check out ‘precious plastics’ - they got some open source hw
Seconding what @Pieter_S said. Dave Hakkens’ project ‘Precious Plastic’ is worth a look.
