With a good amount of failed prints, I now have a bunch of filament that is... trash.

Is there a good way to recycle it, or any services that you send them your lost filament to then melt it back into a new filament?

I kinda hate the amount of trash im producing with 3d printing.

  • You mean just failed prints that are in printed shape or rests of filament spools? – Trish Sep 22 '23 at 15:08

  • I throw fails in the hidden corner of my backyard. They are gone in a year. – dandavis Sep 29 '23 at 21:23

Many makers will reuse the filament from spaghetti prints as filler material when joining print sections together. Usually by heating it along the seams.
