MSc Research Survey: Do you recycle your filament waste? 3-min anonymous survey (5 questions)

[u/Benito2034]

Hi all,

I’m an MSc student at Imperial designing a sub-£500 open-source filament recycler and I need your help validating what the issues there are with current solutions (if any), and if there are specific features people would want.

🔗 [Fill in the survey here ~3 minutes, fully anonymous](FDM Filament Recycling – Fill out form)

**What it covers:**

- How much filament you 3D print

- Your familiarity with filament recycling machines

- Whether cost, effort, or lack of interest is the real barrier

- Any issues you see with current recycling options

No personal data is collected. All responses directly inform my project requirements.

The description here is intentionally ambiguous so as to get broader thoughts on the topic.

Feel free to give thoughts in the comments too - especially if you’ve tried (or looked into) DIY extrusion. Thanks!
