I’d love to get into 3D printing, but the sheer amount of waste I’d produce is too much for me. I looked into recycling wasted filament into new filament, and all the reviews of different devices made it seem very hit or miss. Is there a good way to not generate plastic waste and still get into 3D printing?

If you print things that you'd buy anyway the packaging would make up for a good bit of waste plastic.
