Melting the imperfect 3D printed models during R&D iteration.
During R&D iterations, we use many 3D printing materials. The imperfect models take time, energy, and space. If we dispose of them directly, they will be non-degradable waste.
For example, I made around 30 variants to get the best result for this Bambu Lab AMS mini spool lock. https://makerworld.com/en/models/4284...
The samples take up space, but I don't want to throw them directly.
I put the materials in a silicone disk and set the oven at around 230 Celsius for one hour. Then, I removed visible bubbles, redistributed uneven areas, and heated it for another hour. The final result is a flat rectangle board that can be used for other applications or stored in a smaller space.
The energy and smell during the heating are non-eco, so I stopped after making three boards. However, it can still be a fun experiment if you want to try it.
