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?

Cool. I’ve never seen PHA before. What printer are you using for it? Is it any harder to print with?

I use it at work (a library makerspace) in an Ultimaker S5 Pro, an Ender 5 Pro, and a Snapmaker Artisan. It’s actually somewhat easier to print with than PLA, except that wide flat parts warp pretty terribly? But there’s ways to overcome that!
