I tested the project with PLA or PETG, I tried to simplify the printing process as much as possible to achieve a better result in the mixtures! I placed the PLA and PETG purge in a stone pan and heated it in the electric oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes at 300 degrees, which was enough to melt it and reach a creamy consistency, I poured it directly onto a stone base, using pliers I molded, twisted, and stretched it until it looked like a stone mountain, place the castle while the piece is still hot and after it cools, glue the pedestal, other results can be achieved by separating the purge colors when placing them in the pan, feel free to use your creativity.  But be careful with the gases and not to burn yourself, use gloves and safety glasses, perform the procedure in a well-ventilated area, never in enclosed spaces without filters, I placed my electric oven outside the house and used a filtered mask as a safety measure!  If you don't have a stone pan, you can use a crucible with a lid, use tongs to remove it from the oven and to pour the liquid onto the piece! A tip: Buy a used oven and blender and do your recycling outside your home, or you'll have to hear your wife say that you'll have to buy everything new and your model will be christened by her! And after the piece is finished, she'll still comment that the idea is silly, but it turned out pretty cool, lol! Other important information about toxicity and safer printing:

  • Printing Temperatures: PLA (180°C - 220°C) and PETG (220°C - 250°C).
  • Safety: The release of toxic VOCs is higher the higher the nozzle temperature.
  • Environment: It is recommended to print in ventilated areas or use air purifiers for both materials, especially during long prints.
  • Hidden Danger: The biggest danger with PETG is often the PTFE (Teflon) tube inside the hotend if it is heated above 240°C-250°C, releasing toxic gases, even if the PETG itself is still stable. 

In summary: Keep PLA preferably below 210°C and PETG below 245°C to minimize the release of toxic gases.
