      You can set up the purge settings to be less wasteful. I also collect any waste and mold them in silicon forms

      Meh the whole hobby is pretty wasteful. I can’t count the number of half finished prints that turned to spaghetti for the second half and wound up in the garbage. Hopefully one of these days someone figures out a good way to recycle PLA.

        Or stash bricks of it in dead salt mines.

        Seriously. All the carbon in it comes from plants which means it came from CO2 in the atmosphere. Stored this way, it’s a medium-term (as in hundreds of years) carbon store.
