I've already collected all the parts for making a recyclebot, except the auger bit). But still have to go through 3 of the remaining filament spools to really need it smile I used two 1 kg spools in about a year and half printing quite a lot for myself, so it'll take a while... Also I know, - it will be a headache to print from the scrap plastic no matter how well the recyclebot will work. Most likely, instead, I will feed it with the commercial grade plastic pellets, they are about 3 times cheaper by weight than the ready to print filament - that should produce more reliable end product to deal with. But the scraps are still an option if nothing else is available but plenty of time to fiddle with them smile
