ExtrudeX Filament Recycler KickStarter...

[Kurt The 3D Printer GUY!!]

I'd be curious to know what people think. Device looks a bit Janky -- and the "Cooling" area of the unit looks lack luster!

They also brag about using your scrap plastics - but, a quick review did NOT really mention how to prepare your scraps for use in the machine!!! Which - I think is a VERY Important part.  

So - thoughts???

They show in the video putting scraps in a blender to crush them into smaller pieces.

But you’re forgetting the most important part in the video - you must use virgin filament pellets in a 60/40 ratio of new to old.

This seems like something that could just be put on Thingiverse or MakerWorld with a parts list.

Yeah - I knew full well about the need for fresh pellets. 

Missed the Blender grinding. I gotta go look for that video. 

Yes - re: TV or MW - but, then they would NOT be making Money! 

I think the idea of just selling files via KS - is kinda DUMB. Does not even seem like you can get a full kit from the guy - like he should sell full kits! But, again - maybe I missed that - was reviewing it REALLY Quickly!
