Everytime i come across a 3d printing post

Look, you see the world around you? You think it’s worth saving? We had a good run, time to burn it down
Think of the animals that preceded us. Humans are so self-absorbed.

I’m hope you held a pinky up as you typed that so you could get the full “I’m better than everyone else” experience

Nope, I fed my pinkies to the starving kittens at the end of the street.

tbf what matters here more is microplastic production per capita rather than overall production

made from doesn't mean same properties (e.g. biodegradability)
It's biodegradable in an industrial composter, and degrades in sunlight. Sure it's not perfect, but compared to everything else its impact is minimal.

Tires are the 2nd largest contributor to microplastics in the ocean. Synthetic fabric like nylon, polyester, etc. are the main contribution.
And the majority of that is fishing nets. I’ll keep my printer thank you.

5mm what's that like ten inches?

Do you rather have me buying a complete new device than printiner a spare part with PLA (not derived from oil)?
You see, injection molding in a factory and shipping it is far superior to printing it at home.

That is what's referred to as 'a distinction without a difference'.

This post did not contain any content.
PLA is made from corn, sugarcane and other plants. Don't get it twisted.

what's your opinion on private jets?

yeah probably, im not debating that (open source 3d printing is one of the best innovations in recent years fight me)

PLA doesn't not hold up to the elements. sunlight breaks it down
it turns to floppy noodle in summer heat
do you even know anything about PLA?
sorry for spez site but here you go
I use PLA all the time and I get that it degrades in sunlight, but every fucking plastic does. Degradation isn't decomposition and you can still enjoy 3D printing while understanding that it's not 100% environment friendly

Nobody should have a private jet
How is that relevant to the topic of microplastics? Outside of tires, which again — see my first point.
