Never heard of PHA, do you like using it?

I love it, yeah. There are some hiccups, don’t get me wrong… it warps as bad as ABS, and not many people sell the pure stuff. But:
is it uv resistant? As in, can I print something for my garden with it?
ColorFabb claims that it is, but I’ve never looked into it! It’d be nice to know

Are jams really that common anymore? I’ve got around 2500-3000h of print time on my two printers and I’ve never had a jam or clog on any of them.
It depends I guess. How many different types of material are you switching between, and how often? We commonly use PLA, PHA, ABS, ASA, HIPS, PETG, TPU, PP-GF, PA-CF, BVOH, and occasionally a few others/composites/etc. Some of them really don’t play nice with each other either.

PLA, PETG, ASA, ASA-CF, PET, PETG-CF and on rare occasions TPU85A, with the first 3 being the “regulars”
