PHA filament - Mostly superior to PLA and actually eco friendly

Описание: Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing:    / @ttracingyt  

I’ve made a series of videos about recycling because I care about minimising the environmental impact of my 3D printing. So when my patron NovaPlusPlus informed me about PHA filament, I immediately purchased some to test. In this first part, I compare PHA to PLA, seeing how hard it is to transition, as well as testing the properties of the two. PHA comes out ahead in every area except one.

In a future video, I will share the results of long term testing. Does PHA hold up in normal conditions, and does it biodegrade as advertised?

I purchased this filament with my own money. All onions expressed are my own.
