Every material prints differently and suits different jobs. Here's what each one is actually good for, in plain terms.
Easy to print and made from renewable plant starch. Great for figurines, display pieces, and anything that lives indoors. The first material to reach for unless you have a specific reason not to.
Tougher and more weather-resistant than PLA, with good layer adhesion. The go-to choice for functional parts, brackets, and anything that needs to survive outdoors or get knocked around.
SLA/MSLA printing for ultra-fine detail, smooth surfaces, and sharp edges. The standard choice for miniatures, jewelry patterns, and any model where every small feature matters.
A PLA variant with a high-gloss, almost metallic sheen. Purely about looks, ideal for decorative pieces, vases, and gifts where finish matters more than strength.
* PETG resists food residue better than most filaments, but no FDM print is fully food-safe for repeated contact due to the porous nature of printed layers. Ask us if your project needs true food safety.
