♻️ MDPH2 to MDPE10 Full Credit Exchange Program Anyone who has purchased a MDPH2 and would like to upgrade to the MDPE10 can exchange their MDPH2 for a 100% credit applied towards their upgrade! #3dprinting #3dprint #3dprinter ➡️ READ MORE: bit.ly/3boTcrI
🎯 Compare & Contrast: MDPH2 VS MDPE10 MDPH2 & MDPE10 are powerful pellet driven extruder heads that will have you printing bigger, faster, and with a wider range of materials than a filament based system. #3dprinting #3dprint #3dprinter ➡️ READ MORE: bit.ly/37AobhZ

The @Filabot team @wnyptech have successfully implemented the production of filament for the schools 3d printers. Trevor, Daniel and Richard are heading up our manufacture of filament using new and recycled plastic. @E2CCB @PTECHNETWORK – at Dunkirk, NY

Not always @ReflowFilament #3DPrinting filament for example is made with support to help homeless people in india , what would really put a cherry on top is if @ReflowFilament filament issued a letter from each waste picker on a heart touching story on how it helped em

Thats why #ethicalFilament is so important & also a honourable mention @fishyfilaments makes nylon filament from #oceanPlastics & they got a whole boat harbour just for fishing for plastic particularly fishing gear like nets & fishing lind

I dont know, but I figure whomever is making the mice has to get the sensor from somewhere right? I would feel bad buying 200 mice just to gut and toss 90% of it.

Why yes. yes I would, and do. The Recycled Filament we use from @Filabot is 100% Recycled PLA, and we printed the test model on the @gCreate3D gMax 1.5XT+ for the @Enablethefuture Project and had excellent results, even in draft mode printing. #SaveThePlastic #SaveThePlanet

We've known you since the beginning of our #3dprinting journey; We did some of our earliest testing on a @printrbot Simple Metal; You were the first to adopt and believe in our Spatula. Thank you guys for everything - good luck.
