Plenty of folks are using them regularly and the project is just getting started in building awareness. I am currently making one myself. I was also given some sample filament to try out, and plan to share my experience. If anyone wants to see what people are doing with these, definitely check out the discord...

I'm familiar with the other methods of PET recycling you've mentioned, and projects such as Precious Plastic's or Brothers Make, but as you mention, they are great methods, but much more expensive and less accessible to everyone.
