Materials

Choose the right material for your print.

Compare common 3D printing materials by how they actually behave: strength, heat, flexibility, finish, and where they make sense.

Filaments

Best for functional parts, prototypes, hobby prints, and everyday use.

PLA

~$0.20/g

Easy, clean prints for hobby parts and visual prototypes.

Beginner-friendlyClean detailLow heat

Best for: Models, prototypes, display parts

PETG

~$0.25/g

Stronger than PLA with slight flexibility for practical parts.

DurableSlight flexEveryday use

Best for: Functional parts, brackets, containers

ASA

~$0.35/g

Tough outdoor material that handles sun and weather better.

OutdoorHeat resistantUV stable

Best for: Outdoor parts, enclosures, fixtures

ABS

~$0.30/g

Strong, heat-resistant plastic for tougher functional prints.

ToughHeat resistantPost-processable

Best for: Enclosures, tools, mechanical parts

PAHT-CF

~$0.60/g

Carbon fiber nylon for rigid, strong, engineering-style parts.

Very strongRigidAdvanced

Best for: Jigs, fixtures, structural parts

Resins

Best for high-detail, smooth surface prints. Not ideal for most functional parts.

Clear Resin

~$0.45/g

Transparent resin for smooth, detailed parts where clarity matters.

ClearHigh detailSmooth finish

Best for: Lenses, display pieces, light pipes

ABS-like Resin

~$0.40/g

Detailed resin prints with better toughness than standard resin.

High detailSmooth finishLess brittle

Best for: Miniatures, housings, detailed prototypes
