3D Printing Meetup: April Topic - Eco-Friendly 3D Printing!

3D printing tends to result in a lot of waste. Wasted spools, wasted fuel for shipping, support material and failed prints, etc. How can we, as makers, do better? Let's discuss 3D Printing For Hippies!

As a self-proclaimed "Eco Nerd" I seek out all options available for recycling filaments, reusing scraps, repurposing spools, and anything else to keep my impact on the planet to a minimum. I have found a lot of ways to do that, but I'm sure there are more. If you are like me, and want to understand what we can do to enjoy our hobby without causing harm to the environment (or at least minimal harm) then come on out and join the conversation!

As always, attendees are encouraged to share their perspectives, experiences, and bring along their Show-And-Tell examples! Have you printed with recycled filaments? Have you attempted to recycle filaments yourself? Ever try to compost PLA? Bring your examples to the meetup so that everyone can benefit from your experiments!

We'll see you there!
