  • Recycled bottles to 3D priter filament

    From Sean Dennis@618:618/1 to Sean Rima on Wed Nov 5 20:45:41 2025
    Hi Sean,

    Thought you might like this. It's a deice that melts plastic bottles (2
    liter) to 3D printer filament.

    Thought this might be nice to make some unusual colored filament.

    I have started work on something like it. But there is now a deposit on small bottles so all have to be returned to get the deposit back. I can get water filler bottles and large water bottles but they lack the colours
