Hello everyone! I wanted to see any ways anyone has reused/recycled their Form 2 resin cartridges when they run out of resin. I have many that are starting to pile up and I don’t want to throw them out. Thanks!

I think it would be quite cumbersome to try and reuse them for other things than holding resin. You’d have to thoroughly clean the inside and use lots of IPA for this, and then you have what? A odd-shaped piece of black plastic…
