I barely made it on time... 😬 Luckily I already had tons of filament footage for future videos...

love how there are so many jokes packed into each episode haha

I am looking for ways to responsibly dispose PLA. At our makerspace we have tens of kilograms of it from failed prints and supports and we just keep it in a box

Any recycling center with a composter can break down PLA. You can make life easier for them by shredding the prints in a blender, but it's not necessary. You can also get an electric composter and do it yourself!

If you can't recycle it into filament, the simplest way it to melt it into blocks in an oven and give it to the CNC guys to practice on. In block form it also wont find its way into the rivers and oceans, and wont degrade in landfill releasing all its nasty CO2. Lock that carbon into the ground!

@@IanSlothieRolfe yup this is the easiest way to make it useful. I save up mine and use flat grill press to turn it into sheet material I can use in other projects.

Love the idea of making a fishing net Benchy that went from boat to sea and then became a friendly boat

Having worked with some of the people behind fishy filament and having used some, I can 100% recommend it. Like all nylon filament it's required to dry it before using but if it's dry it works great!

PolyTerra prints beautifully, I can vouch. I didn't even realize my extruder wasn't calibrated correctly until I switched from it to eSun. (Though I would have had better top surface results, the sides were perfect.)

It would be useful to have a list of manufacturers that accept waste prints for recycling (and all manufacturers should be encouraged to do so)

I have to send this to my filament dealer to see if they start stocking some of these. Hopefully between this video, Makers Muse's video and your disdain for baby groots, we can lower the impact of 3D printing on the environment

Zack, BRAVO! As someone whom prints crap all the time, thank you for taking the time and effort to compile conscious alternatives that everyone can consider. Though I knew about and use a few of these filaments, it was awesome to learn something new and practical. Cheers!

Thank you so much for your videos. I love them so much! Everyday I hear KZreadrs say that they are going crazy from all the awful posts, that’s not something that should be happening. We who are watching videos need to show support and good vibes (and occasionally constructive feedback, but with kindness!). Hope you have a great day.

Minor correction: PETG isn't made by reacting PET with ethylene glycol. PET is made by polymerisation of ethylene glycol, while PETG is made by substituting other substances for some of the glycol. "Glycol-modified" means taking it out, not putting it in. Great video, though. I've got several rolls of recycled PET and one of NonOilen.

this is AWESOME, I watched the 3d printing scene for ages wanting to get in on it but not wanting to make a bunch of plastic spaghetti nests. I'm thrilled there are such great options out there now, thanks for showing them off!

My dude two videos in 48 hours! I am ecstatic, and will proceed to rewatch your entire lineup again. Great video as always.

Very epic video! Love the style of your videos and was pleasantly surprised when i saw this one only a few days after the mirage video

My next spool is definitely gonna be PolyTerra, they have a really nice matte gray that I am excited to try!

we have to keep the plastic out of the fins of the dolphins, else they make super cyborg modifications and begin to take us out.

Nice! Thank you for doing this and so many other great videos!

This is a super cool effort that I definitely back

Packed another video of jokes and info, crazy. And this one is for a good cause as well

Great video! I work in the 3D printing business since a short while and the environment has always been on my mind. Will use this info to save more fish :D

im so addicted to zack feedman videos even after bingewatching the entire channel 2 times a day i just cant get enough

so rad to see ya helpin out with team seas!

I like how Americans found a cool solution that would never work here in Germany because if I cut and melt a bottle I get a bit of filament, but if I bring it back to the store for recycling I get 25 cents

I just got a 3D printer (both a resin and FDM) for Black Friday and am waiting for them to be delivered; I'm definitely going to be using these filaments, instead. Thanks for the info!! ♡♡♡

As someone who attended a rural highschool, that rolling coal line hit close to home. 😂

Thank you for putting this together.

NO GANG SIGNS! 🤘

That's a really thought-provoking environmental topic. Fantastic ideas 👍

Thank you for making this video

Another banger, ty Zack

Zack I’m not one to leave comments often but I really enjoy your channels and videos. Keep it up! It’s almost like I’m watching my twin make videos with some of the things you say lol

This is amazing, thank you :)

Great video man🦆

Just got my first FDM printer and ordered the Terra PLA cause of the matte finish. Good to know it’s helping too.

i watch all of these vids multiple times

I love this guy

I want to get my name read out at the end of one of these videos. One of these days, I’m going to throw $20 in the hat, maybe just for a month. I think Zacks work is genuinely worth more though. In truth, I don’t always find the videos directly applicable to my interests, but I always enjoy them and they are always very informative.

The best filament video! #TeamSeas

3:06 that phrase "jeez that color is bright ow my eyes" is both real and funny at the same time I like the comedy filled videos

9:57 The FORBIDDEN mayonnaise.

What I love most about your Videos is that they make me feel better about never tuning my printer :D

Double upload and for a good cause?? Hells yeah!

An awesome and informative yet entertaining video, yet I spent longer than the video going "squirrel!!!" And chasing down rabbit holes learning that Hellmann's is called Best Foods west of the Rockies... I both hate and love my weird brain and what it latches into. It helps sometimes and is a complete distraction others. 🤣

I just got three spools of PolyTerra and it's fantastic.

it will redirect plastics away from the ocean, into my next projects, and then into the ocean.

Hey I finally caught the sponsor names! Thanks for making them so loud this time

Too bad this wasn't up 5 hours ago. I went to microcenter and bought a bunch of filament. I will check out some of the n ones you mentioned next time.

Me and my girlfriend LOVE this. I also hope you find qualified people to help you test your keyboard I filled out and completed that form but I do not expect a response XXDDX. Keep the quality content up!!!

Zack, thanks for the tip about the Poly Terra filament. I'm using this stuff right now, it's great. May never use anything else.

Zack, great informative and funny video. Which filament do you suggest that won't require a heated bed after the first layer? I'm trying to save on electricity usage.

Polyterra will be the next spools of filament I order, thanks for this info!

You did it! Awesome 😎

I love your channel you are a fantastic human

I ran greengate into filament at a previous employer. It was really good stuff, but it was like 2 cents cheaper per pound to get virgin PETG, so they decided to go that route instead.

defo going tobuy one of those filastruders! #TeamSeas!

This is actually something I've worried about recently. Just ordered a spool of polyterra!

this is awesome

Oh my! The alliteration!

Here in Montreal, Nefilatek makes a great rPETG filament. Prints better than some fancy virgin stuff I got from Sakata.

I've been looking into NonOilen, and read some mixed reviews on Reddit - people seem to have problems with warping... do you have recommended settings, and did you encounter any warping, and if so what did you change/do to solve it? Thanks. I'm determined to ONLY use either recycled or properly biodegradable filaments if at all possible... this helps A LOT.

Could you theoretically grind failed prints into small pieces and use them with a pellet extruder?

Love Ur vids

I was like micro centers first customer. They started in lane Ave here in Columbus. 1983 I think.

Is there any way you could publish in a video or a document, how you printed each filament. Like the settings and what printer/extruder type you used. Thank you

Poly terra sticks to ender 3 printing beds rly easy but it’s rly hard to get off

Alliteration game, jedi level, pun pummelling, purepish

That PETBOT thing is too cool I want it Would it work with non-green bottle materials, like the blue Evian bottles? Evian bottles are already made of recycled plastic in the first place, and I drink their water frequently, so being able to reuse that would be awesome!

The thought of using PVA and when you're done just dissolving all of your prints and flushing them down the toilet is funny to me, for some reason.

Zack. Great 👍 video. I think like to know more about how to take containers 🫙 I put in the recycling bin every week. This would include,PETE, HDPE(yes HDPE), PVC, PP. I would like to set up an extruder to go trash to treasure and cut out the middle man. Thank you

Time for a video update with some PHA filament, pretty sure it's the new king

Could you test the compost3d filament? That filament can be composted in your own garden compost heap.

They did it

2:38 PolyTerra almost cheaper then micro center. Polymaker makes some of the filament for micro center based on there own filament. PolyTerra = Lite PLA, PolyMax = Tough PLA, and Pro PLA which a special pla ment for speed printing only made for micro center

Ideally, I rather my scrap in a Benchy than falling off a 300,000 ton hauler headed over seas to a “recycling facility”. Where can I get one of those kits and for how much?

Pure PET is actually awesome material that prints better than PETG - no blobbing, sticking to nozzle, layer adhesion difficulty, or creep in the printed parts. It just needs really high temperatures cheap printers with PTFE lined hotends can't safely reach, as you saw with the recycled bottles. You can get it commercially (albeit sadly not recycled source) in the US as "HTPET" from Fusion Filaments.
