Which 3D printer filament?

PLA filament (polylactic acid)

PLA is one of the most popular filaments for 3D printers. It is made from renewable raw materials such as corn starch or sugar cane, which makes it more environmentally friendly. PLA filament is easy to print, has low melting point and minimal shrinkage, resulting in excellent print quality. It is also available in a wide range of colors, which allows you to create effective and aesthetic models.

ABS (acrylonitriladiene butane styrene) filament

ABS is another popular filament used in professional 3D printers. It is extremely strong and flexible, making it ideal for producing functional parts and prototypes. However ABS printing requires a higher temperature and a well-ventilated room as it can release irritating fumes during printing. For people who need prints with high mechanical strength, ABS filament is an excellent choice.

Nylon/PA filament

Nylon filament is a material that is characterized by high strength and flexibility. It is an ideal filament for printing parts that will be subjected to high mechanical loads. Nylon also has good chemical resistance, making it a suitable material for a variety of industrial applications. However 3D printing nylon may require special printer settings as it tends to shrink and can be more difficult to print than other materials.

PETG (poly(ethylene terephthalate glycol)) filament

PETG is a filament that combines the best features of PLA and ABS. It is easy to print, low shrinkage and excellent durability. PETG is also flexible and transparent, which makes it ideal for printing models that need to be aesthetic and functional at the same time. In addition, PETG filament is resistant to moisture and chemicals, which makes it a good choice for outdoor and industrial applications.

TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) filament

TPU is a filament that is characterized by high flexibility and abrasion resistance. It is an ideal material for printing elements with high flexibility, such as seals, protectors or shoe soles. TPU filament also has excellent layer adhesion, which translates into prints without visible layers and increased mechanical strength.

Filaments for 3D printers - choose the best material for your needs

Choosing the right filament for a 3D printer is crucial for obtaining high-quality prints. Each material has its own characteristics and advantages that can be tailored to specific needs and applications. PLA is a good choice for people who appreciate the ease of printing and a wide range of colors. ABS offers exceptional mechanical strength, ideal for functional parts. Nylon is ideal for those who need durable industrial parts. PETG combines the best features of PLA and ABS, while TPU is perfect for flexible components.
