What are your favorite prints when you have too little filament left on a spool for anything interesting and you just need to finish it off?

The garbage bin...I'm not wasting storage space keeping a few grams of material, nor am I wasting time on useless models that I'll eventually throw out anyway.

You don't make shivs out of the excess? I feel so confused.

I have plenty excess shivs already, I'm trying not to and up a hoarder.

[-] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Thanks for clearing that up.

I've had tailouts catch in the reverse Bowden tube a few times, I'll run as far as I can and then scrap the remainder, can cause issues even with one of those encoder filament sensors. I do try to collect it, want to start recycling material myself at some point.
