    PHA seems to work pretty well in the AFC. It’s not super prone to shattering into a million pieces, the way some materials can be (especially when old and/or moist). The only notable issue is that, due to the very slow hardening, sometimes the “kick” procedure breaks the purge in half instead of knocking it into the purge bucket. I think I just need to add a “dwell” command to the macro between purge and kick, to give it a little more time.

    The yellow and black filaments are both from the “Terraform” line of PHA by HartSmart, who I’m pretty sure is sourcing their base materials from EcoGenesis. The pink filament is from the “LooPHA” line by PHA Eco Goods, and is blended with real sakura blossoms.

    Also, the Box Turtle is the only AFC I’ve ever built, so I don’t have anything for comparison, but… it was awful!! What terrible tolerances on those printed parts! Honestly quite surprised I ever got it working at all, let alone this well.
