Generally. . .

100% overflow can be put back into feed cartridges.
Sift powder cake and pitch hard chunks in the trash.
Mix the sifted material with new duraform at a ratio between 25% to 50% virgin. If you run weak laser and low temps, 25% may suffice. If you run a higher laser power and your part cakes are always stiff, 50% may be necessary.
