      it can make them more brittle (eapecially alongside prolonged time in the elements outside), but in a controlled environment like this it should be fine for a while :)

      Depends on the filament type. Stuff like PLA and PETG have issues like that. ABS and ASA generally don’t. Outdoor stuff should generally be done in ABS or ASA (though I prefer to avoid them otherwise).

        Depends on the usecase though. If it’s something you could reasonably lose in nature (like markers you put in the ground, small signs and such) I’d rather use pure PHA. It will degrade of course, but that’s a good thing after all. I’d rather reprint some small utilities occasionally than damaging the very nature I’m trying to foster after all.
