Holy crap, that’s a lot of work to get a roll of filament. That’s only economical if your time is worth nothing. Ugh.

    To be fair, most hobby 3d printing is only economical if your time is worth nothing

    tbf, you wouldn’t do this because it’s cheaper, you’d do it because it’s more ecologically friendly and it helps make your 3d printer a bit more sustainable.

    But at 20 bucks for a spool of thread, you won’t be coming out ahead economically by recycling, I agree.

      It’d be fun to mess around with if it wasn’t 12-18k for the setup.
