Recycling filament is easier said than done. Here's how we operate.
When we collect filament scraps from you, we store them indoors, protected from humidity and UV exposure.
Before we can feed the scraps to our recycler, we have to break them down into smaller pieces. We load your scraps into a filament pelletizer that shreds the scraps down to more manageable, uniform pellets.Â
To recycle filament, we use ArtMe-3D's MK3 desktop recycler/extruder. Click here to view this device's documentation.
After we've processed filament, we dehydrate it and store it indoors, away from direct sunlight and in a humidity-controlled environment, ready to be returned to you!
