So IMHO as soon there is a real demand for it, somebody will create a replacement. The real demand is there. The replacements will eventually start to show once the prices of refurbished CIAs start exceeding the cost of a replacement BOM plus something for the effort. As of now, this is not the case yet. And the reason for PLA replacements being now available in abundance is that PLA is way easier and cheaper to build. -- SD! - http://e4aws.silverdr.com/Received on 2018-09-13 10:00:21
