Quality of Recycled Filament?
Has anyone here experimented with printing in recycled PLA? I'm wondering if it is worth getting a filastrooder or something similar. Does the filament loose any of its qualities when it is reused? Also, how many times can it be reused? Is there a limit?

A lot of testing and research needs to be done in determining how many times it can be used before completely degradation. Usually, the recommendation is to feed in virgin pellets with old pellets to give it stronger properties.

I would be worried about impurities that would - in my opinion - contaminate the spooled plastic.
