That’s definitely more how like laser cutters and cnc mills do it right? Although maybe that’s more for removing debris than cooling. Seems like a good idea, unless it’s too much pressure and starts deflecting the plastic while it’s still molten.

Remy Rose@piefed.socialto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Getting closer to a working 3d printed pleated filterEnglish7·9 days agoThis project is awesome, great job! I get what you mean about the whole “quadruple the price and effort” thing, but stuff like this is so important. Whatever technology enables the current air filter industry to make their stuff so cheap is likely some proprietary BS that doesn’t even work at small scales anyway, right? So if/when we ever lose access to that, we’ll need stuff like this to fill the gap.
Remy Rose@piefed.socialto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Sustainable 3D Prints With Decomposable FilamentsEnglish2·9 days agoWe use it very regularly in our makerspace, although yeah like you say, the supply and color availability is lacking unfortunately. Fingers crossed it gets better as more people show an interest in it
Remy Rose@piefed.socialto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Sustainable 3D Prints With Decomposable FilamentsEnglish1·9 days agoOhh this probably makes more sense in places other than where I live. Nothing here gets recycled at all unfortunately… Were the larger objects unable to be recycled otherwise?
Remy Rose@piefed.socialto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Sustainable 3D Prints With Decomposable FilamentsEnglish2·10 days agoThis doesn’t strike me as particularly sustainable at all? It just makes the object come apart into smaller objects, right? But they’re still objects and still made of the same material they would’ve been otherwise… Just switch to PHA, it’s actually for real compostable and more sustainably produced as well.
I’m always soooo excited for native fediverse apps, because PWAs are annoying in a bunch of ways. But then it actually happens, and I remember that none of the cool themes will be in there 😅
This is still AWESOME though!! I think that’s what was holding a lotttttt of people off, waiting for an app
