  [1] |  | End-of-Life Material  End-of-life material refers to filament that has reached the end of its usability, either due to degradation, contamination, or insufficient length to complete a print. Factors such as exposure to moisture, UV light, or dust can compromise the material’s properties, leading to poor print quality or extruder clogs. To prevent waste, some users repurpose end-of-life material by recycling it into new filament using specialized equipment. Proper storage in airtight containers with desiccants can extend the lifespan of filament. Understanding the limitations of end-of-life material is important for minimizing failed prints and ensuring consistent results in 3D printing. |
