minus-squareTimPostma@mastodon.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year ago@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
minus-squareRuttyOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoYes! 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.
