Once calibrated #PHA (Colorfabb) really is great to print. It's really bad with bridges though, and getting it off from the build plate is exactly the other way around (print a thicker bottom layer on cold plate, then heat up the plate to remove it afterwards). No issues with warping.

I strongly recommend trying it out, compostability is a huge gamechanger for #3DPrinting. It doesn't smell at all (I hear this really differs from brand to brand).

Definitely gonna try to use it more often!

@Natanox I do need to try that out. Lots of potential for compostable 3D prints

@noiob Next time I order at Colorfabb I might get one extra and place it in my local hackspace with a note on it so more people might try it (need to make an MK4S and MK3.5 profile for that though). I'd really love to see this being used more for e.g. Chaos events that are outside like the Camp or InselChaos (PHA also degrades even in water), it would greatly reduce plastic trash ending up in nature. You simply can't avoid microplastics and lost items being produced at such an event.
