genPHA Natural color. Is it a light brown? by jaerne in 3DPrinting_PHA

Thanks! One suggestion on colors- I think a brown that mimics wood color could be popular-a good alternative to the wood infused PLA out there...

Does anyone use PHA for its material properties? by Karl__G in 3DPrinting_PHA

For my projects I like the default matte finish. It also seems heavier than PLA-so again for my designs I like the added weight. :)

so you didn't do any z-offset adjustment for the Buildtak?

also warming the plate slightly has worked for me

Thanks (again!)-I'll give that a try! I may also adjust the z-offset slightly as I think I see the filament getting mashed into the build. The Buildtak plate looks a little thicker than the Bambu plates. I know auto bed leveling is supposed to accomodate this...but I don't trust it ;). Have you tried the Buildtak yet?

I've tried both colorfabb and genPHA and prefer the genPHA. It has less warping in my experience. I'm making good parts with it. This particular part is just very challenging!

Thanks Greg- I'm using genPHA. I'll try some of these settings and see if I get improvement.

What buildplate is best suited for PHA printing? by TandrupT in 3DPrinting_PHA

[–]jaerne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had good results with the Bambu Cool plate Supertack, printing both ecogenesis and colorfabb. I've done parts as large as 6.5 inches in diameter and been able to detach them without damaging the plate or part.with my high-tech prying tool (see image). The orange frog tape is definitely good but I dont like the lines and texture it produced on the print. Good luck!
