    Both grinding input plastic and then extruding that into filament can be challenging to do consistently/well. It also doesn’t seem worth the $$ unless you’re able to do so at a commercial scale - you run a print farm, you’re looking to set up a local(ish) filament recycling scheme, etc.

    If you have the time and funds, it does sound like a pretty good rabbit hole to go down.
