When working with 3D printers, it is highly recommended to invest in the best 3D printer filament. High quality 3D printing materials produce high quality and impeccable creations. In addition, there is less material wastage, and slim chances of ruining the machine. There are numerous types of filament, and they have different properties and features.
PLA is the most preferred filament for FDM printing, and it is applicable in many situations. It offers a high dimensional accuracy, and it is fairly easy to print with. PLA is a product extracted from corn grain meaning it is degradable and reusable. In addition, it is compatible with most 3D printers. PLA filament does not bubble, thus resulting in high-quality products.
PETG 3D printer filaments offer high dimensional accuracy and the work by combining the reliability of PLA and the functionality of ABS.
PETG is a flexible and yet highly rigid material, making it durable and heat resistant. It also has a high tolerance towards detergents and chemicals.
TPU 3D printer filaments have a high flexibility, and they have a shore hardness of up to 95A. This material can be stretched up to 3X its original length. Other than high dimensional accuracy, TPU has a high abrasion resistance. It can withstand the effects of long-term grazing, rubbing, and friction, making it the perfect material for printing durable parts.
The wood PLA filament has a wood-like texture and color, but it doesn't have any actual wood powder.
This filament is PLA -based to mimic actual wood, thanks to the special foaming technology that gives it the stable foam structure. This way, it is possible to create anything with wood color and texture. This PLA filament outperforms composites of traditional wood in terms of printing quality.
Glow in the dark green PLA filament is special because of its luminous effect. Since the material absorbs light energy, the prints will glow in the dark. For the best glowing effect, place the prints in UV light or sunlight for about 30 minutes.
