Interesting, people appear to be replacing #acrylic for #corrugated #plastic ( #coroplast ), saving #weight , #cost and better #insulating 3D #printers https://hackaday.com/2021/10/06/3d-print.. This could be something that the #buildone looks into using in order to reduce costs... That of course assumes that the #acrylic is not #structural - but it looks like it is: https://digistump.com/wiki/buildone/base..
Just a small #fire on the #iss #space #station that tripped a #smoke #alarm https://www.euronews.com/2021/09/09/smok.. Apparently it was likely #burning #plastic in one of the #russian #modules - fun times!
#greenpeace may have a fair point about #plastic being dumped in the #ocean - but I really dislike the way they make their point: https://www.lotuseaters.com/greenpeace-d.. I believe they are even classed as #terrorists by the #uk #government ..
