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.
