There are more and more recycling options available for DIYers to use with 3D printing. In this video, I test a range of products from Tylman Design. They include the PETmachine (PET strip to PET filament) and PETwelder + Mr Winder (filament joining and winding). Although a certain investment is needed to get going, these products and the process itself can be very effective.

Both kits were provided free of charge by Tylman Design for the purposes of me making this video. All opinions expressed are my own. teachingtechyt.github.io/reviewpolicy.html
