We should assume the trend will increase for filament extruders and grinders to hit the market like 3D printers have on www.kickstarter.com. We are even seeing filament reclaim machines like Filabot being marketed and supported.

Is there a market to sell ABS or PLA regrind material to the 3D hobbyists world? In searching, I haven't found suppliers for this type of material that will sell small quality of material.

With ABS Filament spools selling in the neighborhood of $30 to $40 USD and PLA spools selling for $40 to $50 USD for 2.2 pounds, I believe there could be a market!

Would individuals purchase clean dependable regrind material if they could get more material per pound than what the market is supplying today?

Will the development of reclaim machines prevent this from happening?
