    I pour them back in IPA bottles then when they're settled after a few days when I do this method because once I get to this settlement at the bottom I stopped pouring and I also use a mesh screen on top of the bottle to catch any big chunks so I don't have to wait as long

      Yeah I had recently had a tidy up and thrown out some old IPA bottles 🙄 needless to say I'm saving them now!
      I reckon if you can save at least some of the IPA with minimal time and fuss then it's got to be q good thing right? Every little helps!

      @@WyvernMinis yeah just wait for it to settle then pour it out and then try and leave the settlement at the bottom and throw that out

    19:10 I hope you know this but theese filters only filter the smell and not the toxicity. Never print indoors where other living human beings are

    2:58 do not ever use anything for food after it was in contact with resin ever! Are you crazy?

      even if you would have gottem them clean. just thinking this would have worked is very dangerous mindset

      Yeah, before I started, my initial notion was that the filters would be perfect and I would get clean IPA out the bottom, which is often used as a cleaner. Obviously I quickly saw that notion was wildly inaccurate! But I didn’t have anything better to use anyway, and I knew I could replace those vessels easily enough if it all went sideways (as it did). So it was all a bit of a learning curve, hence making a video of discovering the mistakes along the way and correcting them.
