Interesting. I have a stock pile of filament that I need to burn through first, but I might consider that moving forward.
I think at some point the community should consider simply buying pellets and going straight from pellets to the printer’s extruder (no interim filament to make). Pellets are roughly 1/10th the cost of filament so the savings are there, but that’s also usually at larger quantities.
I know some large format printer’s exist already that use pellets amd that therr are filament extruder out there, but I feel that’s the trend for regular hobby grade printer’s eventually.
