https://www.junai.earth/What Inspired You to Make This?
At the beginning of my journey, with a focus on sustainability, I initially used PLA plastic for 3D printing but after discovering the sustainability issues related to it, I began researching alternative materials. However, I found that there wasn't a readily available affordable material that suited my needs, prompting me to develop my own. Additionally, I recognized the need for a compatible printer, and along my journey, I met Jasper and joined the Junai Foundation. Currently, I contribute to their efforts by testing materials and designing extruder kits that enable 3D printing businesses and enthusiasts, to transition to bio-based materials.
