Transform your unwanted 3D prints and household plastics into eco-friendly 3D printer filament! 🌱More Extrusion Info: https://www.DrDFlo.com/Extrusion.html ...
Holy crap, that’s a lot of work to get a roll of filament. That’s only economical if your time is worth nothing. Ugh.
Someone at McGill university figured out how to recycle wind turbine blades into 3d printer filament. However, a single blade made enough filament that it’s length could go to the moon and back. From one blade!
Not to be like that… but… gases would be hard to print, I’m not sure why you’d want to….
Liquids could be interesting, for like, ice sculptures. But at that point you’d be having to extract heat from ambient… drop the build chamber below freezing

Aren’t wind turbine blades fiberglass? Can fiberglass be printed?
Anything can be printed with enough heat.

Now I want a Lava Printer

Ice printing could work with supercooled water.
Yes. Well they are mixed with an epoxy.
You can find the research online with all the details.
Glass reinforcement material is a common filler, just as much as carbon fiber.
