All of these to be printed objects, what will be the method of disposal that is not harmful to our planet and ecosystem?
I’m always worried about the “what will happen next” bit…
I agree. I buy a spool of plastic and think about the harms. I believe PLA is biodegradable as it is a corn based plastic but abs is nasty stuff.
I have a bucket of old + failed prints (PLA) waiting for disposal or to be ground up and re=filamented (when I can afford one).
I do the vast majority of my prints in PLA. I find it easier to print, and I like that it is biodegradable.
@djC653 : Remember that you don’t want more than about 30% of recycled plastic in your filament.
Good points @Mark_Rehorst .
@Mark_Rehorst , I have to disagree about home extruders making quality filament. The Filastruder can hold tolerances as tight as +/-0.02mm. Here’s two prints done with Filastruder filament:
