3D Printing with Recycled PLA - Riverstone

 

This is a recently completed print using more of the recycled PLA.  This print has been completed using the 'Riverstone PLA' which is a mix of recycled PLA and New Zealand wool.  When combined it gives the print a unique texture.

The print is 70mm high, 40mm across at the base and 40mm deep.   The print design was located by using the software with Bambu Studio Labs.   It is a freely available file that is not behind a paywall.

On Tuesday the teacher who runs this blog will be taking part in the South Island Apple Bus Tour in Christchurch and will in Christchurch, New Zealand for a day (Tuesday).   

The idea being that we would like to spread some innovation and creativity during the trip - hence the use of the some small scale example prints that we are going to show and make available to others.    The PLA for these prints has been supplied by a New Zealand company called Kiwifil.  They are recycling PLA from old prints and 'rafting' and minimising the 3D Printing waste produced.
