I will keep the trace width and bore hole size in mind when contemplating fine details in all 3 ...

PLGA has very similar viscosity and melting point to PLA so I expect it to be theoretically possible to be printed. My concern was being available to make it into a filament and making it available to the nozzle to run smoothly. The plan is to use this printer for research of bioprinted scaffolds or ...
