The Filament Purge Design Contest on MakerWorld set me thinking and experimenting.
The artistic plaque was created by heating an oven dish full of filament purge (poop) at 220°C in an oven. After cooling, the plaque is made neatly rectangular by sawing off the 4 sides straight. After this, I designed a suitable frame to exhibit the artwork. A support arm to place the frame on a table or cupboard and a spacer for the wall have been added. I was pleasantly surprised with the incredibly beautiful result. This is definitely worth repeating and I won't throw away any more filament purges from now on!
p.s. I hope to post even better photos. My phone's camera is unable to properly capture the real beauty! The end result looks most like a shiny bathroom tile! The different types of filament (shinny / with glitter and normal ones) all create their own blend. Some become real spots, while others still show clear lines. The top layer becomes really glassy.
