That looks like what I found, although I still think The King of Random had the best video: I just wanted to break up my post because it was getting long.

The way he does it one could do this with just a razor blade and a 2x2.

I watched a few videos with more complicated setups, although they wound the filament onto spools--although one guy immediately unwound it.

The thing is, I don't need to tell you how lightweight bottles are, but I am drinking some soda right now--I poured two 2L bottles into my 1 gallon Nalgene bottle with some electrolytes in the bottom.

How much does an empty 2L bottle weigh, an ounce or two?
Google gives varying answers around 40-50g.
DDG says 0.000198 freebeards.

Hey freebeard, I need you to find 5,000 2L bottles and a big balance.
Do you know where to find a teeter totter?

My cat acid scale says 45g so we will go with that.

How much does a car phone mount weigh?

I don't have any idea and I doubt that anyone weighs theirs.

I am not weighing mine, it isn't the one that I want!

If I made phone mounts and charged a small amount of profit on top of the cost to run a 3d printer--plus a small amount to recover the cost to buy a 3d printer I would be scavenging plastic for free.

For the planet?!

Phone holders are an existing market and people regularly pay $10-20 for them, so that seems like a good option.

However, I keep thinking that the best use for recycled plastic would be actual building blocks, and once I had enough I could build another shed!

Hey!

Hey!

Could I print clear coroplast?!

I don't know that 12"x12" sheets would be ideal, but it would be easy to make them snap together.

No, I will not 3d-print a dome!

Bad freebeard!

Bad!

You are also obsessed with hemp, man!

What about that?!

I see stuff about 3d printing with it, but I am not seeing much that seems easily-explained.

I found this video: So, companies are making 3d filament from hemp. I see posts about 3d printing hempcrete, but how the heck do you do that?!

We have discussed hempcrete building blocks before and that would be an interesting thing to DIY--and explain, but I already have a discussion about that.
