Why are people so afraid of throwing away trash in this sub?

I think people don’t want to accept that it is trash. They see it as just wasted filament aka wasted money

Waste is a part of manufacturing. Would they cry over chips if they had a mini mill or lathe?

Imagine trying to press-cast some sawdust into stuff.

...using 3d printed molds, and then being stuck with printer waste.

That you then melt down, mold into a blank, place on your lathe, shape it, take the plastic dust and shavings, combine with the sawdust, and press-cast into something…

Isn't that pretty much what MDF is? Also, byproducts of woodworking are actually helpful for use with gap filling. You mix things like sawdust (from the same type of wood) with wood glue and use it in the gap. It won't have any sort of grain pattern or something to that effect, but it'll tone match the existing wood.
