Guide

Choosing the right filament.

Not sure what to print in? Here is the short version of every material we stock — what it is great at, where to avoid it, and a price to start from.

PLA

The everyday default

From $1.99

Display models, prototypes, toys, and anything that doesn't sit in heat or take a beating.

  • Lowest cost
  • Sharpest detail
  • Widest color range

Heads up — Skip it for parts left in a hot car or under constant mechanical stress.

PETG

Tougher, slightly flexible

From $2.49

Functional parts, brackets, and outdoor-ish items that should bend a little before they break.

  • Impact resistant
  • Water resistant
  • Holds up outdoors

Heads up — A touch less crisp on very fine detail than PLA.

ABS

Heat-resistant workhorse

From $2.99

Functional parts that need to survive heat — enclosures, automotive bits, tool housings.

  • Heat resistant
  • Strong
  • Sandable & paintable

Heads up — Not ideal for fine cosmetic detail; best for working parts.

ASA

Built for the outdoors

From $3.49

Anything that lives outside — UV-stable and weather-resistant for the long haul.

  • UV stable
  • Weatherproof
  • Strong like ABS

Heads up — Overkill (and pricier) for indoor-only parts.

TPU

Flexible and rubber-like

From $3.99

Gaskets, grips, phone cases, and anything that needs to flex, stretch, or absorb shock.

  • Bends & stretches
  • Shock absorbing
  • Grippy surface

Heads up — Not for rigid, load-bearing parts that must hold their shape.

Specialty

Carbon-fiber, nylon, metal-filled

From $5.99

Demanding engineering parts that need extra stiffness, strength, or a metal look and feel.

  • Very stiff
  • Engineering-grade
  • Premium finish

Heads up — Pricier — reach for it only when standard filaments aren't enough.

Resin

Maximum fine detail

From $4.99

Miniatures, jewelry, and small parts where ultra-fine detail matters most.

  • Finest detail
  • Smooth surface
  • Crisp small features

Heads up — Offered in clear or white only — color must be painted after printing.
