Sorry to hear that @Big Meme

I'm hoping to get into lost pla casting

Pla is decent. Also doesn't fuck you up as bad as abs does

I refuse to support the corn industry

lol

Yeah abs fumes are bad right? @Big Meme

Good ventilation is key regardless

you don't want to be sitting in a room with something that's spitting out burnt plastic fumes for several hours at a time

Imagine you can just glue a cheap clear plastic enclosure and hook up a dryer pipe to the top with a hard drive fan.

@Deleted User abs fumes are super bad. Both for you and the environment. Pla is bad too but not as bad and easier on the environment. Abs is better material and sturdier just will give you lung cancer

@johnfrum#8811 you would just fan it back into the room

Ah I see

Through a window.

Also ABS off gassing is new car smell, no idea why people play up the hazards so much.

Wait

Could I make ABS filament recycling car interior parts?

Maybe? Heating process to remelt it will probably break it down pretty badly.

Also good luck getting consistent filament diameter.

ever heard of crushers? 😃

Actually a heater strip hooked up to PID set at the plastic stage of ABS wrapped around insulated seamless tubing might work if you have an additional source of hydraulic pressure.

It would be just like a die casting press except I would put an array of fans in front of the extruder

If you keep it at plastic stage it'll probably come out mostly solid, set up a simple motor to automatically wind it up and you'll get low quality ABS for probably the same cost as shipping it from China.

Also you'll probably have to manually separate stuff like glass, nylon, wire, acrylic, ect

Are these gateron? Or some other type

how are we supposed to know? link the keyboard

Ah thanks

What should I test my credit card on

@johnfrum wanhao di3 , do it

A8 is okay but needs a bit of work to match the di3

@Kaytee im thinking about buying a malyan m200

Its the cheapest of the copys of eachother, that I can get.

Be careful with cheap, the power supply will be a fire hazard once you go below like 250usd

thats why you get a MOSFET chip

Won't help if the power supply itself can't handle the current
