Another YTer made a filament maker from scrap plastic. So maybe one day.
I still think small scale injection moulding is the way forward. 3D printing is just too slow and weak for most needs. Good for Warhammer, not so great for a wrench or a load bearing part for long term use.
The filament makers are really cool. Also, very similar to how metal wire used to be made, with strips of metal drawn through a plate with a circular hole in it.
The closest thing I know of to a solution for that is printing your part, cleaning up the print, then making a casting using lost-material (ie lost wax or in this cast lost pla) casting.
Though six-axis mills and similar cool CNC tools are coming down in price too. And you can do a lot with aluminum and a back yard furnace.

they have that carbon fiber inside the plastic shit. maybe you're not making a 2-stroke piston engine out of it but you can do some load bearing parts.
this round thing is interesting too, gets around the layer line shear weakness for some applications but i don't think it's a product yet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58AD7zPnxcU
some kind of 6-axis combo printer might be the real shit
Has anyone printed a six axis mill yet? It'd be hard as hell, but maybe it'd be doable for milling aluminum or something, and then you could bootstrap up to sturdier metals.
