I have managed to make a lot of filament and run a lot of test prints. Below are some of my favourite examples. I have also linked some documentation on this project that I have prepared for my company (GIZ): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ISXmjF_QsVcBWrX2nWv4g75Br9gLE4ejcfN5jevG9Js/edit?usp=sharing.
