PLA Print Degraded Over Time
  • It’s interesting to me the reported natural feature of PLA to be biodegradable. The state it ends up in these conditions almost seems worse for the environment like micro plastics.

  • PLA Print Degraded Over Time

    This was an ornament I printed roughly 6 years ago. Being a Christmas ornament it spent most of those 6 years stored in my roof space.

    Being in Australia this would have been subject to average temperatures of 30 to 35 degrees c but also peaks across summer approaching 70 degrees c. Also in high humidity.

    The PLA crumbles into tiny pieces at the softest touch.

    I thought it was interesting that PLA would start to break down in these conditions.
