The tape popped off at all 4 corners. The model barely fits unfortunately. I don't have glue, and I only have textured PEI bed (tape was over it) and clean glass bed (haven't tried). Is there anything I can do to make this design reliably print cleanly with PHA, or is this too much to ask? Speed was 35mm/s (both walls and infill). Didn't use a brim for this attempt. Filament is GenPHA Yellow.
Has anyone tried using natural dyes like iron acetate (vinegar+steel wool) on genPHA? Figuring I'll soak in tea for tannins then move to the "rust juice." Color range is a little limited and Rit DyeMore would work but I might as well use PLA then, I want to keep things biodegradable. A little blotchiness or other dye process artifacts are fine but it needs to be colorfast and not too fugitive (ie no turmeric, not lightfast at all).
Print Time: 8:15 Hr.
0.2 mm layer height, 15% infill.

The warping is minimized to less than 1 mm across the entire print surface.
Most of this is well known by this community, but its great to see someone breaking it down in an easy video. Plus I am sure he would appreciate the support from viewership.

Hey community! I'm having a blast printing with PHA after I learned a few tricks to adjust my printing settings and setup.
I am wondering how safe is the air around the printer while it is printing. I tried printing in a non-ventilated room with only a crack open window and after an hour+ of staying out of the room I went in and definitely felt some smell. By all means not anywhere as strong as PLA but still it forced me to open the window wide open. A couple days I kept it printing while I was in the room (the room is small) with window mostly closed and I felt kind of funny at some point, like having a fever. Hard to say if it was caused by my overall health, being tired, etc, but it made me think - is it actually safe to not vent the place while PHA is printing - has any research been done?
