Filament Recycler
Oct 2021 – May 2022
PROBLEM: 3D printing generates significant plastic waste, and existing recycling methods are often costly, inefficient, or inaccessible to small-scale users.
SOLUTION: Designed an all-in-one recycling system that grinds, melts, and extrudes failed prints, rafts, and support materials into functional 3D printing filament. The system proves feasibility for an affordable, sustainable solution to reduce material waste and promote circular use in 3D printing environments.
Prototypes & Testing
Testing melting, extruding, grinding, and spooling of 3D printing waste.


Final Prototype
Final design demonstrates feasibility of an affordable, desktop filament recycler.
