How To: Choose 3D Printing Filament
Starter Choices
- PLA: easiest default for beginner prints, prototypes, and low-heat indoor use.
- PETG: tougher and more heat resistant than PLA, but needs cleaner setup.
- TPU: flexible and slower; ask before using.
Ask First
- Carbon-fiber, glass-fiber, glow, wood, metal, or other filled filaments.
- ABS, ASA, nylon, PC, or odor-heavy/high-temperature materials.
- Unknown old filament or unlabeled spools.
