Former software dev now writing words for money and/or fun and/or survival. Some content may disturb you. I may and may not follow back, follow-backs great but not an expectation, it’s fine.

I write in longer form on my Federated WordPress blog. You can follow that from Mastodon by following @solarbird separately. And if you want to support me or this instance, I have a patreon. (http://patreon.com/solarbird)

  • @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
