PLA+

Pros

• Example: I have a PLA-printed model (black PLA, of all things) which I printed back in 2021. It didn't turn out quite as I wanted it to, so I have decided to hang it outside, in an area which gets sunshine for most of the day. Over four...
• Bog standard Pla is perfectly safe for aquariums
• And I can tell you that it has probably better plastic tone than poly ethylene tetraphtalate glycol
• I switched to PLA but only plan to use them inside under grow lights and not outside at all. The ones shown are PLA
• It's just pink PLA. No infill, so it's essentially full of air. Acts like a big plastic balloon.

Cons

• I mean, just "not PLA" might already be enough.
• the worry with 3D prints is that bacteria gets trapped in the layer lines and old bacteria can be spread every time it's used, especially since PLA isn't dishwasher safe (it'll melt).
• Also PLA really??? PETG will last much longer.
• I only print in PLA, so I've had to reprint it a few times (about once a year on average)
• I've had issues with UV radiation breakdown resulting in plastic contamination and having to throw out the soil I was using for the project using PLA.
