Insta,

What tool or method are you using to reclaim or chop up the extruded filament?

Also, we're finding that the best way to get even blending of color is to extrude normally, chop back up, and re-extrude.

Where are you based?

All sellers are based overseas and shipping makes it too expensive so I thought I'd just ring a company from my country and try and get quotes from them.

Are there particular grades of ABS and PLA I should be specifying? I'd like to know the jargon before I ring up and sound stupid.

I'm mainly thinking about ABS and PLA that will both be able to make an even coloured spool with the right techniques.

Thanks in advance for all your help!
