It is made from “renewable” materials like sugarcane and corn, thus, making it biodegradable. I just found out that there are high grade PLA like this http://www.3d2print.net/shop/product/pla-signal-blue/ which is tougher and less brittle compared to regular PLA. Any 3D printing guru who tried this already? I’m curious if it requires heat bed or not.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09888531299749731850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-65198132059097933442014-06-18T17:44:01.324+01:002014-06-18T17:44:01.324+01:00Way ahead of you :DWay ahead of you :DMike Whitakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165272678144625943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-2199156934464069892014-06-18T17:32:24.696+01:002014-06-18T17:32:24.696+01:00Come join Pat and the rest of us on the 3D printin...Come join Pat and the rest of us on the 3D printing for games group, and help us get to the future faster by helping each other.<br /><br />https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/106272753855894429725Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566987959812923367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-61941270976328829042014-06-17T02:02:59.250+01:002014-06-17T02:02:59.250+01:00Interesting to see 3D print-work like this.

It takes an industrial level composter to generate enough heat to break it down. for most uses, it should not degrade. The other popular material is ABS which can be more robust but breaks down under UV.
