Subject: A box of some sort of plastic pellets - free to good home

reposted from reprap forums, probably should have gone here in the first
place, thinking of coming to the next printing night, can someone send me
the location...

When we moved into our house many years back there was a large box of
plastic pellets that were probably used for injection molding under it.
basically it has sat there for the last x years as i didnt have any use for
it, but you dont throw out good stuff like that. Is anyone in melbourne
experimenting with extruding there own fillament and would maybe like to
give this a go, I am considering coming to the next 3dprinter night and
could bring it along, dont expect anything for it, just nice to know it
will finally get used, but if you were to hand me a small spool of filament
down the track i wouldnt complain either. If anyones interested Im sure
there was a sticker on the box outlining what sort of plastic it is, but
need to crawl under the house to read it.

btw the box is probably to big and at this point brittle to post, and if
its inconvenient at all to give away may as well stay where it is, so this
isnt an offer to post it around the state, country or world. but if it
would help out someone local more then happy to oblige.

Hi Garry,

I have a Makibox (http://www.makible.com/products/makibox-a6-1) on order
that eats pallets to make it's own filament. So I might be interested but I
don't yet have my printer.

Also if the plastic has been sitting a while depending upon what type it is
it mast likely needs treatment before use (was told that ABS pellets are
hygroscopy so you have to cook them for 3hrs @60C before use) or you will
get crap prints.
