PLA, the default material

  • + Ultra-fine print quality

  • + Rapid and detailed prototyping

  • - Not compatible for technical parts or mechanical assemblies

  • - not resistant to solvents and other chemicals

  • - not UV resistant

PETG

The PLA's big brother

  • + Good mechanical resistance

  • + Good chemical resistance

  • + Flexible without breaking

  • + More resistant to humidity than PLA

  • + Good compromise between ease of use and durability

  • - Average thermal resistance (~80°C)

  • - Surface less sharp than PLA

TPU
