![I made COFFEE 3D Printing FILAMENT
Start your free trial at http://squarespace.com/cnckitchen and use code CNCKITCHEN to get 10% off your first purchase.
I made my own Bio-Composite material for 3D printing by mixing Spent Coffee Grounds with PLA. Weโll talk about why such a material might be useful, what I had to do to make it printable on a regular 3D printer, how the mechanical properties are, and most importantly, how it smells during printing.
