Well that's exactly what I'm asking.
PLA is known to get soft at near-boiling temps. Cups do start leaking and generally slump into a puddle. But this is purely an effect of the heat, it can handle the water just fine if it's cold.
This is unmodified PLA so I wonder if this isn't the same with the 'modified' stuff, or if the added fibres get soft when they get wet like paper.
