PLA/PHA and aluminum heated bed
-
I am currently using tape to print PLA on a cold aluminum bed. My printer has a proximity sensor so for now, glass is out of the question. So, what is the second best option to use the heated bed so I can print with PHA? Is Kapton tape the best option here? Thanks.

PLA/PHA is very similar to regular PLA. I would recommend using the blue painter's tape for it as well, along with minimal bed heating (60 C).

I thought about using tape and heat but I thought the heat would make the tape leave glue behind on the bed and the print wouldn't stick as well to the tape.

Tape works just fine for low heat (60 C). It just isn't good for higher temperatures (80 C or more).
