Topic: Anyone with a Filastruder in northern Vermont?
I have a lot of failed prints that I would love to recycle rather than discard. Anyone reasonably close to Burlington Vermont who might want to take the plastic off my hands?

I did contact FilaBot. They sent me to a recycler in New Jersey. They were not helpful. They seem more interested in selling hardware than in recycling filament.

No one with a Filastruder in northern New England wants my PLA? How sad!
Re: Anyone with a Filastruder in northern Vermont?
They wouldn't just need a Filastruder, they'd need a shredder too. The latter takes a long time to pay for itself (~200kg+)

Ah. Live is never simple, is it? Well, my intentions are pure...

takes lot of work to pelletize the material.

Re: Anyone with a Filastruder in northern Vermont?
what grade of PLA is it? 4043D? 4032D? 3001D? 3D850?
Re: Anyone with a Filastruder in northern Vermont?
No idea how to answer your question. I purchased it all through Ultimachine. A variety of colors, but all from the same vendor.

Re: Anyone with a Filastruder in northern Vermont?
How many KG's of material are you looking to part with?
Re: Anyone with a Filastruder in northern Vermont?
Something like 33 pounds
Re: Anyone with a Filastruder in northern Vermont?
Are any of the prints crushed? I ask because if they are still in printed form, putting 33 lbs of prints in a box and shipping it is not very practical. If they are not, it might actually cost more to ship that, then buying virgin plastic from my supplier. It's a shame with it becomes too expensive to recycle than make new....
I recycle a lot of failed prints. But most of my 20lb buckets are from my own failed attempts.
Re: Anyone with a Filastruder in northern Vermont?
I could crush them with a sledge. Not sure how small I could get the volume to be. Where are you located?
