Will post progress photos TBD
Starting Dec 2023, we want to develop our own bio-based PLA formula and hack a 3D printer to be able to 3D print biobased PLA. In the meantime, we will experiment with biobased PLA on the market (ie. algae PLA, wood PLA, and PHA) and try 3d printing with mycelium.
So far, we’ve tested PHA since it’s the best option home compostable 3D printing filament on the market. But we want to make our own biofilament recipes.
We are fundraising for a bio 3d printer since our current 3d printer is not operational. We’ve tried to hack the 3d printer but realized the 3d printer itself wasn’t functional. Whatever you can donate would be greatly appreciated! You can donate to Genspace Biomaterials Studio via Genspace’s venmo but please add a note that your donation should be directed towards the Genspace Biomaterials Studio! Thanks a million <3
