The light green PLAyPHAb 1.75mm PLA/PHA Filament from 3D Printlife has been designed as a hybrid filament that is compatible with most 3D printers. Like PLA filament, PLAyPHAb is 100% biodegradable, yet is much less brittle. In terms of its pliability and ductile strength, it resembles ABS filament and maintains a dimensional accuracy of ± 0.03mm. PLAyPHAb filament has been designed using virgin resins and has a higher UV and impact resistance as compared to PLA, in addition to increased flexibility and layer adhesion. It is also less stringy than PLA during print-head travel and the post-processing of finished products, such as removing support structures or drilling holes, is greatly simplified and helps the filament to not crack. Finished products will have a glossy look.
Technically, this filament has a diameter of 1.75mm, a dimensional accuracy of ± 0.03mm, a recommended infill of > 30%, supports nozzle temperatures of 410 to 482°F, and does not require a heated print bed. Additionally, each spool is wound to help minimize crossovers and loopbacks that can lead to snags and snaps.

Seemed to work exactly the same as standard PLA . Was hoping it was going to be less brittle making cable chain but not the case. Just cost more then standard. Not that it was bad just was expecting the plus?
