As the original idea of a RepRap 3D Printer is to bring a factory to home, which can make more factory for more home. I do feel like a RepRap 3D printer needed a additional "Add On". As Material like ABS, which have been proved a good material for 3D printing for years. I just wondering could we have a "Add On" that allows the user to reused some of the "Part" that had been printed and no long being use, as the RAW Material for New Parts. I think it would be great, if we can put the "output" of a system back into the system it is no long needed.
In a Simple word, I think it would be a good idea for a RepRap to have an Optional "Melting Pot" add on. so the Material can be reuse.
I think production shouldn't be linear and just going one direction. And I seriously don't wish a Great project like this turn into a machine that Produce waste. But if what is not in use can be reused, this would be wonderful, yet fit very well with the RepRap idea.
