Hi guys,
I know nothing about chemistry but I was cleaning my coffee machine this morning with a Lactic Acid based cleaner and I was wondering, has anyone ever tried to melt pla or clean their nozzle with this stuff?
Now its called Poly Lactic Acid... so it all seems too obvious to me to actually work but you never know.
Unfortunately i'm out of the stuff right now so I cant try right away.
I would expect it to break down the pla to some extent but... then again, no chem knowledge so...
As you can imagine Google didnt help much... googling lactic acid and PLA is like looking for a needle in a hay stack, google cant make the difference between the acid and the plastic.
