Sounds pretty good! It's printed out of PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates). This is a food safe naturally occurring material synthesized by bacteria, and it is fully biodegradable in a reasonable time span, in any biome, with no microplastics. Design from SolidZone, material from Filaments.ca Regen collection. Once the world figures out how to get sustainable pinene resin working, I want to try running a vacuum resin stabilization on it as well.

I haven't tried PHA. Sounds like I'd have to do the opposite of everything I do with PLA lol
