What can 1kg of PLA filament print?
Brimming with good ideas
Here’s what I meant when I said ‘brim’ earlier. These are the extra layers that you can print underneath a model to help it adhere to your build plate (often used if your print bed is not heated or doesn’t have a particularly good print surface) that get peeled off and are usually binned.
I keep a box of them, along with other odds and ends, including some failed printsNowadays I very rarely use them, but I have saved them in the past and used them as mesh or grating to add to prints or scratch-builds.
These ones came from underneath dungeon floor tiles and got used as industrial walkway gratingI even keep the filament I extrude when loading/unloading spools. It makes great bowstrings or coils of wire/rope.
In case you can't tell, I hate waste
