Abstract

Abstract 3D printing services are an increasingly popular offering in many academic library makerspaces. However, failed prints, and simply the printing process itself, can generate substantial waste. Through a grant from a regional library consortium, the feasibility of recycling waste 3D plastic and reconstituting it into new 3D printing filament was explored and tested. Other 3D printing makerspaces on campus have asked about recycling waste filament or providing that material to the library to recycle. This paper will discuss the methodology, benefits, and challenges of recycling 3D printing filament in an effort to make 3D printing more sustainable.

3D打印线材回收，为更可持续的图书馆创客空间

3D打印服务在许多学术图书馆创客空间中越来越受欢迎。然而，打印失败以及打印过程本身都会产生大量的浪费。通过一个地区图书馆联盟的资助，回收废弃3D塑料并将其重组成新的3D打印线材的可行性进行了探索和测试。校园里的其他3D打印创客空间已经询问了回收废灯丝或将材料提供给图书馆回收的问题。本文将讨论回收3D打印长丝的方法、好处和挑战，以使3D打印更具可持续性。

期刊介绍： College & Undergraduate Libraries enables libraries serving primarily undergraduate students to enhance the range of services, resources, and facilities offered to their constituents while also contributing to staff professional development. Whether focusing on public services, technical services, management, or technology, the journal highlights the fact that undergraduate libraries must collaborate with agencies both on and off campus in order to survive and thrive. In addition to numerous columns on current topics, typical contents include research-based articles, case studies, reports of best practices, an occasional literature review or product review, and opinion pieces.
