Consumer 3D
printers may now use filaments other than ABS and PLA. Numerous engineering
polymers have flooded the market as a result of the success of additive
manufacturing technologies. Despite the continued popularity of ABS and PLA,
many 3D printing lovers have shifted to newer materials.
So, here is
all the information you need about various 3D printing filaments and their
properties.
Polylactic acid
The most
popular and user-friendly filament for 3D printing is polylactic acid or PLA.
It is non-toxic and, unlike most plastic, is derived from corn starches; yet,
it requires an industrial composter to be composted. The plastic in PLA is
melted for extrusion at a relatively low temperature between 190 and 215
degrees Celsius, making it the safest filament available. PLA can be printed on
almost all FDM 3D printers.
The glow Glow-in-the-dark
Green PLA Filament is a really nice filament for creating attractive objects
that can glow. This PLA only costs $27.99 per Kg.
PETG Filament
Polyethylene
Terephthalate Glycol (PETG) is quite similar to the plastic found in water
bottles and food containers, except for the addition of glycol to improve
printability. Filament PETG has
better features in the most important parameters. It's slightly tougher,
significantly more heat resistant, exhibits excellent creep resistance, and is,
therefore, suitable for functional 3D printing.
You can get
the best PETG filament from our
online store at $24.99 per KG. You can choose either the red or blue PETG
filament.
Our PETGfilament has a High dimensional accuracy of 1.75 mm (±0.03 mm) diameter, low
warping making it easy to print, and it is heat-resisting and durable, making
it highly rigid and flexible.
Thermoplastic polyurethane
TPU is a
flexible material that can make cool rubbery models. TPU is commonly used to 3D
print phone cases, but it can also be used to create connectors or flexible
hinges for other materials.
You can get
the TPU filament from our website at $34.99 per Kg.
