Resin vs Plastic printers

I wish there was a cheap way to recycle filament, my Prusa isn't busy enough to warrant the outlay.

Yeah, I went down that rabbit hole. There's no economic way to return it to usable filament in your own home yet. Machines that can do a passable (not GOOD, just usable) job are way too expensive for most people. The best option I've seen is a company that pays the shipping of scrap to them, for which they give you credit toward their spools of recycled material. It's just in Europe for now, but if you're serious, it's worth looking into and properly collecting your scrap for future shipment.

And yeah, the waste/chemical byproducts of resin printing are that much more caustic and a pain to deal with.
