Biodegradable Filaments Vs PLA - A test of performance
In earier episodes of this series I've looked into PLA and 87% recycled PLA, as well as two completely biodegradable compostable filaments. In this episode, I'll be pitching them against each other to see how they each perform in strength, flexibility, accuracy, detail, and texture.
