this might be the most useful thing I 3D printed and it just came on my printer's SD card

@efi if not it's recyclable PLA and I can always print more

but judging by how many walls the default profile prints this thing will outlast my puny skeleton

@noiob wish there was a non-oil-based material similar to PLA

@noiob im not sure what the half-life of PLA is, but isn't it still a plastic, like the bag it is clipping?

@efi it's not oil-based though. It can be composted in industrial composters but I'm collecting all my waste to be re-extruded as filament by a German company (I already bought some of theirs and it's a great quality)

@noiob ooooh, interesting...
do you think LEGO will start using this someday?

@efi I heard Lego engineers are hard at work figuring bioplastics that can hold up to their ridiculous tolerance and stability requirements
