What y'all think about the PHA Filament, is worth the cost? in USA I only see ecogenesis for $36 and colorFabb for $41

I like that it you can actually compost it at home... but the warping is crazy. 1-2cm wide brim makes the prints stick well enough on a satin sheet. AllPHA 200C/20C on an MK4s

    West3D stocks Ambrosia PHA for $35 /kg. They also occasionally do sales (just had 20% off for the 4th), so you could probably get it cheaper if you're willing to wait.

    Can't even get it where I live but I've been wanting to try it. Those prices are bonkers though and it better be really good to justify it. I get my cleanest prints off of $14 cad per 1kg roll ABS and its really hard to justify the things the more expensive filaments when they print like shit after doing every calibration

    What brand are you using? Anything generic I have tried have been worse experience compared to good brands. Mostly the spools not being wound as well, though I think prints are less as good too.

    D3d sigma prototyping abs. I was expecting it to be shit but it had no problems at all. It's actually my remaining stock from the ender 3v2 era and it still works as expected. It's still available but it could be totally different now for all I know. Several brands became big names now but d3d seemingly became less known. They also had transparent abs which I previously bought for voron toolhead leds but it was out of stock when I was looking at the available colours the other day.

    The only recent comparison I can do is the eryone black abs I bought this month that I swear is just stinky petg. Super glossy vaguely waxy feel, very stringy and oozey.
