Hi All

Wasn't sure where to post this as its sort of an out of the box question.

While doing my 1:100 Bismarck project I have accumulated a lot of scrap PLA filament, broken prints, support material ect and I thought that there must be a way to recycle this scrap.

Has anyone come up with good ways to recycle scrap PLA plastic. My biggest thought was the possibility of melting the plastic down and use it to pour into moulds, for example instead of 3D printing lots of ship hatches for example, print one, create a mould then use the scrap plastic to melt down and pour into the mould.

Is this feasible? Has anyone tried it?

Cheers
