Next: Carbon fiber filament for 3d printers
3D printers, period. The microplastics they create are insane.
I’m happy dying an early death if it means one more plastic toy
How do printers create microplastics? Genuinely curious.
After printing you have to not only trim the extra bits, but you have to sand it down, whereas manufacturers use molds and only have to trim the seams.
Ah so the finishing work. Makes sense.
