PHA prints warping and failing
Hi Everyone,
Recently I have been trying PHA filament from colorFabb. This is a bioplastic filament. I'm very enthusiastic about getting it to work but I'm having a hard time getting just about anything to print. The problem I'm having is that the prints warp a lot and this causes the print to fail, often within a couple of layers. Adhesion (or lack of it) seems to be the issue. Now the manufacturer recommends using 3DLAC adhesive. I don't have access to 3DLAC (I live in New Zealand and for one reason or another it's just not possible), so I used Magigoo which I do have access to. As I mentioned above, this really doesn't work. The thing I put it down to is the bed temperature. PHA is printed with the bed at room temperature and I think Magigoo will not "work its magic" at room temperature. Can anyone recommend another adhesive that does work at room temperature? This is my first thought anyway, I may be off track. Perhaps people out there with experience printing on unheated beds also have suggestions. ... This is (so far) the most challenging material I've printed with, and that includes stuff like fire resistant polycarbonate.
