 ==== Other notes ====
-PA is really tricky.
+PA requires extensive preparation of the build plate so it will not warp. Certain glues that are not PVA family based are recommended.
+Most PA filaments will contain an additive like glass fibers with a typical concentration of 30% or carbon fibers with an unknown percentage of concentration.
