      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:

      • It’s non-toxic.
      • It’s biodegradable.
      • It smells really nice! kinda like… play-doh?
      • It’s realllyyy strong!
      • It’s got this weird-but-nice texture, almost more leather than plastic.
      • It never jams my hotend.

        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.

          ColorFabb claims that it is, but I’ve never looked into it! It’d be nice to know

          EDIT: found a comment from the person who makes the Ecogenesis stuff, about testing the UV resistance of another brand (Beyond Plastic, now defunct).
