Abstract

Filament recycling solution with spooling system and nozzle attachment for Polyvora Extruder Pro. This project was created for the Cal Poly Humboldt Swetman Makerspace by Engineering 205 team, the EnvironMecs, during the Spring 2025 term. The main purpose of this project was to make the Swetman Makerspace more sustainable by recycling 3D printing scraps back into 3D filament. This project is intended to be used by students and faculty for a less wasteful approach to prototyping.
