ISO Scrap PLA (lemmy.one)

Howdy y’all! If a post like this isn’t allowed, feel free to remove it. But I wanted to give it a shot.

I’m working on trying to recycle my old PLA - I’ve got a (heavily) modified industrial paper shredder and my friend & I are building an extruder. But I’m still working on experimenting with the shredder and trying to get proper sized pieces of PLA. Problem is… I’ve run out of scrap prints to test on! So… I know it’s a long shot but figured I would ask anyways. Does anyone located around Minneapolis, MN, have a decently sized bin or source of scrap PLA (failed prints, Bambu AMS purges, etc) they’d be willing to donate to the cause?
