Some of the prints I’ve done so far can be seen here:

Which one did you go for and how long did it take to set it up?

I saw you printed with recycled plastic, how was that experience? We’re playing around with Filabot here at the office but still didn’t get to print anything. @bramhallo is actually the one who took up this mighty task :slight_smile: Any input would be appreciated though.

And you can also try posting one video at a time, this would give people time to go through them and actually share experiences based on it.

Hope this helps. Cheers

Yeah cool! Would really much like to hear what your experiences with recycled ABS are!

I collected my plastic from my job. They cut abs pipe with band saws and allowed me to take the shavings home. The only two problems were dirt, grime, sand caught in the shavings. I tried cleaning my plastic with magnets and soapy water. Neither worked 100 percent. The other big problem I had was the diameter of the filament I extruded. I don’t know how the filabot controls the diameter but when I got the “Mulier light caliper” and puller working together it was great.

Ok cool! So in the end the quality of your prints wasn’t influenced all too much by the dirt, grime and sand that wasn’t filtered out?

No it seems with my .5 mm nozzle I needed it to be 100% clean for success. ha Every little speck that was left behind jammed it. I still want to know how to clean abs sawdust!

I think it some proprietary density separation method we must learn. re- search and re learn… 8 I
