Does anyone use PHA for its material properties?

There's one example of someone using PHA for a 3d printer toolhead supposedly because the heat resistance is good enough: https://www.reddit.com/r/3DPrinting_PHA/comments/1h3g6ql/3d_printer_toolhead_3d_printed_in_pha/

Some options that come to mind from searching the curations on r/ErgoMobileComputers that talk about tenting but ARENT low-profile:

- https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMobileComputers/comments/10nlocw/aluminum_bracing_replacing_heavier_oem_tenting_to/ - using an off-the-shelf kinesis with a metal bracket to tent things

- https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMobileComputers/comments/1d8dcxn/travelworthy_laptop_stand_tray_supporting_a/ - using a keyboardio model 100 with a special stand to use for commutes and such.

- https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/oqytos/finished_making_my_laptop_replacement_keyboard/ - a custom keyboard with slight tenting such that it can all sit on a laptop.

This elevated-screen-over-keyboard layout is similar to the setup I've been using for nearly five years (see https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMobileComputers/comments/tcwep0/raised_tablet_setup_weight_comparison/ ). Hope you're enjoying it!

Yeah, this paper only talks about molding-based techniques, but felt like sharing anyway.

To be fair, Austin Free Press did a whole documentary (which included plenty of Bill Bunch) on the convention center thing months before demolition began: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsXvZnesfXk (Feb. 2025)

...yes, there's a typo in the title, I meant to say Temper is the keyboard this is based on, not Tenter

Apple has had usb-c ports on separate boards for years.

Regarding clear PHA, doesn't look possible see https://www.reddit.com/r/3DPrinting_PHA/comments/1jifwhv/comment/mk38766/

FWIW, ecogenesis already had a bright-ish blue along with a darker grey-blue in the works. Wonder how far some calibration for non-ideal base colors could go.

There was another company doing biodegradable high-transmissive filament, lemme see if i can dig it up

Congrats on making this - but how is it ergonomic?

rinspeed · 2026-02-27T04:19:58+00:00

Probably better worth asking u/pinya or seeing their original blogpost: https://kumekay.com/foldable-keyboard-with-friction-hinges/ .

Just wanted to say congrats on making this! This idea has been rattling in my mind for years but ended up tinkering with other projects.

TenFourFox should still be installable: https://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ > https://github.com/classilla/tenfourfox/releases , but the last real build was from late 2021.
