That is a very good point... I didn't think about other things getting into the mix when you destroy your failed prints. But ya, post up the link to the loss of (insert property here) when you reheat it. That'd be interesting to see what people say about this when it comes out.

Neat idea. But I read somewhere that each time you heat filament up, it looses some of it's (I think it was) elasticity, or properties or "some-such" So each time you recycle prints the material becomes further degraded, something if I recall correctly, to do about long chain molecules being cut up.... made me think of engine oil for some reason...
...let alone the dust and dirt that you'll likely be adding to the material while it's being ground? Hmm...
If I can find the link to the original article I'll post it up :-)
Certainly be interesting to try out though?
