Support for you.It is indeed a problem for the failed ones in printing.

Thanks yep, but let’s start to reduce the size of the waste bin!

I actually have a running Flickr album of failed prints - 3D Print Failures | Flickr

Note that as I get braver and braver, the fails get bigger and bigger. The latest being a garbage can full of failed parts of a Fallout 4 mask. Fortunately my son was able to use some of the pieces as supplementary props for the costume.

This is a fantastic idea!! What do we need to gear up on to become a recycle center for Nashville?

Awesome pictures! Would you like to choose one of the pics to enter into this competition for biggest 3D printing fail?

Hey @charles_menamin, so cool you want to be a recycling Hub! For now, we’ve enabled recycling material for Hubs to pick from the materials list, so you can advertise it to your customers. If you want to actively start to ‘produce’ recycled filament for Hubs in your area to print with, we don’t really have a model for that yet. So for now you can advertise your recycling Hub in your description and offer recycled material to print with.

btw: the gear you need to start making your own filament is a shredder and an extruder. Check out the extruder on discount on your dashboard in the perks section: Hubs | On-demand Manufacturing: Quotes in Seconds, Parts in Days

Let me know if you want to know more. Happy to talk to you any time this week. My email is luuk@3dhubs.com

Cheers!

Hi, we have been working on something like this down in Ecuador (home to the Galapagos islands, amazon rainforest, etc and thus very important to keep the plastic off the environment). Unfortunately we don’t have the technology or resources to get this going. Would you guys be interested at some point to start something like this down in Ecuador?

Hey @bramhallo! What steps Do I need to take to becoming a recycling hub for our Raleigh community in the United States! I have all the equipment needed to start recycling discarded prints and would love to assist in expanding this project!!! #recycle #raleigh

Here’s the bin we were talking about…weighs about 3-4kg. Anyone want to donate a filastruder?
