Scrap filament

[Deleted member 303]

Hello
I have been 3D printing for a couple of years now. During that time I have generated quite a bit of scrap filament, mostly PLA. What do people do with that? I would like to reuse it, but I don't know where to get the equipment. I am open to almost any idea.

Mostly, I throw it away to keep things fresh and organized. PLA is highly recyclable. Some landfills will take it, but not very many from what I've seen.

You ain't gonna believe this - somebody is selling it on E-bay. Go figure!!!

Hold on . . . maybe it could be used for stuffing plush toys. Aaaah, Ummmm . . . Naaah, there could be great liability in case of a fire. Toxic fumes and flame acceleration. Sorry, bad idea. Just toss.
