Melting 3D printing waste into beautiful flat sheets on a budget
Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: @ttracingYT
Finally, a decent end result when it comes to recycling 3D print waste into another product. Precious Plastic have some fantastic machines, but they are not intended for low volume users like myself. In this video, I show how a simple and inexpensive t-shirt heat press can be used to convert shredded plastic, or Bambu Lab purge poops, into uniform, flat sheets.
All equipment was purchased with my own money. Total cost: just over $200 USD. In future, I’m going to try melting down more types of plastic to recycle them. Let me know your ideas and suggestions in the comments.
