What does everybody doo with all their spools?
I run a bunch of X1Cs in a makerspace, these printers are amazing. But what to do with all the spools?
Yes I know there are refill rolls of filament, but those don’t work well for the way we operate. My student workers are not quite reliable at putting those together right, the few times I’ve tried using refills, it results it problems.
As far as I can tell, the spools are ABS, so not sure if that turns into wishful thinking recycling them. We also have capabilities here for shredding plastic and remelting into sheets, which works great for PP and PLA and PETG, but ABS is not great for this mostly because of the fumes. Other ideas to not add to the landfill?
