In this experiment, the creator mixes varying percentages of dried cow dung with PLA pellets, extrudes the blend into filament, and prints test parts to evaluate printability, mechanical strength, and odor. Results show that low-level additions (up to about 10%) produce filament that prints without major issues and retains roughly 80-90% of pure PLA tensile strength with only a mild earthy smell, while higher dung content leads to clogging and poor layer adhesion. This entertaining experiment is relevant to makers interested in sustainable or waste-based filament alternatives.

Quick trick, if your home made pla filament has heat creep problem you can annealate it first in the oven and it will raise the HDT and thus make it way harder to suffer from heat creep This is why cheap filaments often suffer from heat creep but not polymaker
