Filaments
PET/PETG
PET filament is a durable and flexible 3d printing material with a glossy finish and is impact and heat resistant. Best used for mechanical parts and snap fit enclosures. Sticks incredibly well to blue painters tape.
ABS
ABS filament is strong, ductile material with wear resistance and heat tolerance. Common 3D prints with ABS are Interlocking parts like gears, parts exposed to UV and heat like a car cup holder, or prototyping. Wide selection of methods for excellent post-processing.
PLA
PLA filament is a stiff but brittle 3D printing material. Best used for cosmetic prints, prototypes, desk toys, low-stress applications. Best 3D printer material for beginners due to ease of printing and minimal warp.
