Hi all,

We have a surplus of 2.85mm 3D printer filament in storage, but no longer have any machines that use this size. I’m wondering if others have found creative ways to repurpose it or know of opportunities to exchange it for 1.75mm filament.

I’d love to keep it out of long-term storage (or worse, waste) if possible—open to ideas, swaps, or suggestions from the community!

Best,
