    @moira I had never heard of PHA before, thanks for that. Are the print settings radically different from PLA? Thanks!

    BTW, I can see your attached pictures just fine in Tusky on Mastodon. 👍

    • @fedops @mibzman PHA is _pretty interesting_. More heat tolerance even than HTPLAs, but definitely also more flexible at all temperatures, which can be a plus or a minus - it’s kind of like a less-flexible but more-durable nylon, I think? I haven’t worked with nylon but from descriptions.

      It also really wants a 0.6mm nozzle, though I have found - and this is what I did for these temperature towers - that the non-wood-infill PHAs can be consistently successfully printed with a 0.5mm nozzle, if the model is sliced for 0.4mm.

      Also: Sure! I’d expect the pictures to work on actual Mastodon. But they didn’t make it to Lemmy replies. Don’t know if Lemmy even supports pictures in replies locally tho xD
