This episode covers a ton of recycling topics starting from Stefan’s adventures into 3D print recycling over the PETBOT that allows direct recycling of PET bottles, to the number of wasted plastics in filament spools all the way to reinforcing PLA with shredded turbine blades. Tom and Stefan further discuss MRRF that happened the weekend before the recording and ERRF that was canceled. At MRRF Lulzbot presented their new 3D printer model that starts at a quite steep price tag. Then there is some discussion on the recent Chitubox Pro launch where many fear that their MSLA printers might in the future only work if they subscribe to the service (UPDATE: https://twitter.com/UncleJessy4Real/status/1411765198730448899?s=19). Questions cover what printer or method might be suitable for highly accurate parts.
