I cut mine into pellets and then collect them in jars. Later when I have the space and enough pieces I'm going to heat them up and press them into a sheet which I can cut stuff from
@@alexaether yep... You read my mind well, I was like those 'waste filaments' can be used with "3D" pens and voila you could make something useful or as fill-ins!
When yoy have enough of those, you're gonna throw it away though. Not knocking on the idea but that's like people who remake plastic bottles into decorations around the house. You're not recycling, you're just making garbage that looks kind of less ugly.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme it’s reusing, which is way better than throwing something away and going into a landfill or being recycled (both cause harm to environment)
@@Samuel.55 definitely don’t just iron without anything, that’s how you ruin your iron. I remember as a kid I had those pearler beads and one time I forgot to put parchment paper down. I realised immediately as a put the iron down but the beads stuck to it within a millisecond. Luckily it didn’t ruin the iron and my parents managed to get it all off. But it’s just gonna stick to the iron without anything in between.
Is that what those thingies were called?? I saw someone cutting chives and I thought hey it looks like those things but couldn’t explain what I meant lol
Oooh I bet a heat gun would work to melt the filaments just enough without them bubbling over, these are cute, I don’t even have a 3D printer but I kind of want one watching all these videos lol
You just unlocked a memory lol. This reminds me of something I made back when I was a kid where we put tiny multi-colored beads into a metal frame with a cutout design, baked it, and when it melted it came out looking like stained glass. I don't know what you call that and I know it's not the same thing, but your video just reminded me of that.
I don’t usually cut the filament when I change it, I just run the feeder gear in reverse and the filament end is almost always in good enough shape to be used again as is next print. Although, I’ll definitely keep this is kind for when I have filament breaks or when the spool is at a point that there isn’t enough left to actually print anything
I cut mine up and on hollow prints when they are mid print I put the small pieces in the print so when it’s finished you can shake it and it makes noise
Designs that use raw filament scraps are my favorite. So far I've tried hinges and snap latches. I really like how you can add some color that way without a multi material extruder. Next I want to try designing in grooves and filling them in with a 3D pen, and putting pony beads on filament pins on a printed frame to make an abacus or just for decoration.
I’m only watching repeatedly to learn about using leftover filament, not for cleavage, good sir! (I don’t have a 3D printer, I’m just really, really eager to learn.)
Crazy good idea, I remember having a set like this as a kid but you'd put parchment on top of it and iron it, you could probably do this to get better results!
I was thinking the same thing lol. Besides the risk of cutting themselves, I feel like kids would just cut a bunch of tiny pieces. Now you have a bunch of tiny little pieces all over the place. Depending on the kid they may put it in their mouths too. Definitely an adult or teenager activity in my opinion.. Just too many small pieces, and the sharp object for me.
You guys know there’s an actually arts or game for this and you can buy it somewhere, search up perler beads game or some Also this version might work (if you’re up to cut those for your kids) just use an iron and put a cookie sheet over it or whatever that’s called I used to do this art game in arts and crafts It’s really fun
That is a great idea for the left over waste. I would assume you could also melt directly in to shapes or maybe a mold to make charms, beads, or jewelry
Could use them for filling in those prints. Not sure how well it can be done for 3d printing filaments but 3d pen filaments can be heated with an iron to smooth out or adding ends like these to fill areas
We just got a 3D printer for Christmas, but we've been through so much since then that we haven't even had time to try it. You're videos are making us so excited to try. Thank you for sharing your talent and experience. 💖
I’ve incorporated them into my prints, maybe to use as pins for different prints to stick together. I’ve also used them as “rivets” in some of my prints where I join a flat piece on top of another piece, and cut and melt the piece with a piece of metal

I thought you were gonna say you eat them 😭
I have 3 large boxes of waste filament that I plan to make into sheets at some point. I just need a reliable way to crush it all
@@LunarLotus184 *sounds of plastic beads and crunching*
@@LunarLotus184 yummy crunchy rainbow plastic mmmm
@@thewolf7668 yeah they’re the best X]
Dude these are like those beads that they would have us use in arts and crafts in elementary with the iron
perler beads? i used to love those. i’d make little minecraft figures with them 🤦🏼♀️😂
Hama beads? Almost, they're just missing the holes 😆
I HAVE A CONTAINER OF THESE IN MY CLOSET.
One could make some awesome articulated 3D creations with Perler Beads and filament like this
Exactly what I was thinking
Me without a 3d printer: wow this is really cool I'll do this!
One day. I’m in the same boat lol one day, I say.
how about a 3d pen those can be cheap
@@alexaether not really good for anything accurate
there are some fairly cheap 3d printers nowadays like an ender 3
Just buy pearler beads and do it with an iron. It's the same thing.
@@alexaether yep... You read my mind well, I was like those 'waste filaments' can be used with "3D" pens and voila you could make something useful or as fill-ins!
That's an amazing idea for the leftovers so they dont go to waste!

@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme its creative recycling. Something your 4x4 imagination can't comprehend.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme Terrible take lol.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme it’s reusing, which is way better than throwing something away and going into a landfill or being recycled (both cause harm to environment)
I'd recommend trying an iron instead of the toaster oven he'll get more controlled melty results that way
he?
@@cathuman5463 they're probably talking to Greg
@@joshybratwurst1398 freaking GREG!!! Can Greg stop getting our irons caked with burnt plastic!!!!!
Put a layer of non stick baking paper between the plastic and iron and you won’t have plastic residue on your iron

I AM CROSS STICHING WHEN I SAW THIS SUCH A COINCIDENCE OR MAYBE ITS THE TH-cam ALGORITHM
I need this STL! Also, you could put parchment paper on top and squish with an iron!
Good idea... I have a cricut heat press, I'm going to try this with
An iron is a good idea. i was thinking a blowdryer but i think an iron is superior.
Maybe its faster and cheaper to lasecut it in 1/8” acrylic.
@@Kero7th heat gun
@@Kero7th a blow dryer might result in you blowing little bits of molten plastic all around where you’re working.
Keep your eyes up boys

Thanks for answering one of life’s little mysterious questions haha 😁
Yeah, perler beads are just waste, this is going to be created anyway so we should use them instead
@@alexisericson241 I have heard that’s where perler beads came from, but since I’ve never used 3D printing before, I never saw it firsthand.

Pro tip, use a bakingsheet and a clothing iron
“Great craft for children”

I could listen and watch this chick whole day. It's oddly satisfying.
That is amazing!!
That's amazing! Gotta love the ways to use every last bit
That's awesome! I use mine in my 3D pen.
I save it and use it as scrap plastic and melt it to hold my 3d print pieces together
Love when artistic creativity is combined with mechanical and tech workmanship.

Ah thanks I startet thinking I am the only one doing it this way.
This is so cool!!! Time to get a 3D printer!!!!! 😎
I cant focusing my eye
A sheet of baking paper and an iron works as well if not better than the oven. It’s basically beads on a pegboard.
Beautiful and easy, love it
I watched a guy splice his excess to use for later builds. They were so cool
That's really smart!! Reminds me of perler beads but in a different form
Nice idea!
Holy shit. Great idea. Thank you!
Love this idea
why is nobody talking about her voice? oh my goodness! so good to listen to 🥺💖
I cut mine up and on hollow prints when they are mid print I put the small pieces in the print so when it’s finished you can shake it and it makes noise
The quality of this video wowww
I dont use filliment but I like your voice. Nice and soothing. Good idea though. I'll be sure to pass it. ♥️
Me who doesn’t have a 3d printer watching this anyway:🧍🏾♀️
This is like those beads that were advertised from around 2009-2013 where you'd spray it and it would not fall out somehow

I wonder if instead of melting the filament in place could you glue them
You technically could use a hot iron
@@Slimboy025 true, you could also use hot glue because they’re usually made from polyamide/ nylon or Eva which are filaments as well.
Your voice is so relaxing!! Also great idea!
Is she losing an aussie accent for an American one, or is her accent just southern? I can't tell.
@@Saohesc I don’t know- I’m very bad with accents... 😅
This is AMAZING!!!!

Mommy?
That's frickin genius. There are some cross-stitch and hook latch patterns I would like to try with this.
That is a great idea for the left over waste. I would assume you could also melt directly in to shapes or maybe a mold to make charms, beads, or jewelry
No disrespect but You could have just zip up your hoodie 😅
Zip up ur jacket… 💀
That's very creative idea, like it!
You can sand the top layer so all the globules should be gone.
YOU HAVE BIG BRAIN /srs
Thanks for the idea!
Nice!! Thanks for sharing
Oh my gosh, that’s amazing.
You can slightly melt the ends and push the ones with the same melting point together to make a cool transitioning filament
I think it looks cool unmelted. Reminds me of peg boards :)
That's pretty dope. I will try that. I have about 2 years of waste filament I've been holding on to.
Cute work!!
You could sand down the surfaces. That way the dots would be even after melting
That is sooo smart and pretty! Amazing idea!
You’re very creative.
Thank god u showed everyone this😅
Where do I get one of these picture maker things?
That's pretty cool!
People with creativity really live in a different world
omg this is such a cool idea!!!
This is so fun looking!!!!
What a fantastic idea!!! I love it ❤❤
Love it!
i think sandwiching between 2 pieces of glass might help it stay in its holes better.
You can use that square as a coaster. Cool!
I feel like a hair dryer might give you a better controlled melt and could limit the bleeding but this is a really cool idea!
Would be great if the manufacturer had a recycling options for you to send in the scraps, this way it doesn’t end up in the waste
This is an amazing idea to use all of your filaments without wasting!
That's actually pretty cool
These are just like pearler beads! Along thanks for the tip!
I’m rewatching this for a couple of reasons…
Could use them for filling in those prints. Not sure how well it can be done for 3d printing filaments but 3d pen filaments can be heated with an iron to smooth out or adding ends like these to fill areas
cool idea, maybe if ABS is used for the base and PLA for the pieces the melting could be more consistent

Cute for pixel art!!
I’ve incorporated them into my prints, maybe to use as pins for different prints to stick together. I’ve also used them as “rivets” in some of my prints where I join a flat piece on top of another piece, and cut and melt the piece with a piece of metal
Reminds me of those little tubes we used to iron together as kids
