Assistive tech for people that have trouble holding forks/spoons/etc. Made from my favorite lesser known material, polyhydroxyalkanoates, which is fully biodegradable in any biome. Anyone else making AT for people?

    It’s not too bad, if you consider the huge range of prices for PLA. Like Matterhackers “Build Series PLA” is $0.02/g at the low-ish end while Ultimaker’s “Tough PLA” at the high-ish end is $0.07/g. Filaments.ca’s “Regen PHA” is between those at $0.05/g.

    So, if you’re trying to use the cheapest filament possible? Probably not a great choice. On the other hand, there’s literally only like 3 people selling PHA filament right now, so you’d think it’d be more expensive than ANY brand of PLA. That makss me wonder if it’s relatively cheap to produce. If so, it may come way down in price if it catches on and becomes more available, right? I hope, anyway.
