well I haven't found anyone in the uk selling pellets in less than a ton quantities yet - and I've got nowhere to store a ton of pellets :-)

And filament is getting cheaper and better all the time.

I could see a use for recycling bits of plastic I;ve got in my plastic bin. But I don't think this machine grinds as well as melting.

If someone does start selling pellets in sensible amounts for home users and significantly cheaper than filament - then it might be worth a try.

I like the spool design - I might nick that for some home printed spools :-)
