Zach, I'd love to see some aluminum dnd minis too. I'd feel terrible,
though, if we accidentally covered the bottom of your kiln in aluminum, and
all other surfaces of your kiln with PLA ash.

Nathaniel, I've heard (it's all hearsay, but ok) that PLA burns out more
cleanly than PLA. I agree with you, it seems like they're both going to be
pretty much gone in a hurry.

It should be easy to build a simple furnace. List that puppy.
