Hi, I’d like to know if anyone is printing with recycled materials or any eco or sustainable materials? Thanks!

PETG and HDPE. So far PETG is the star. Haven’t had access to other PET blends yet.

HDPE will likely require a temp controlled cabinet. It deforms a lot, and doesn’t stick to much if even itself.

I’ve also moved this topic to the 3D Printing Materials Category and added a tag of “recycling,” this may help get some more attention here!
