Materials
Which material should I choose?
Most parts are fine in PLA or PETG. Choose ABS or ASA for heat and sunlight, and TPU when the part must bend.
| Material | Price | Best for | Softens at about | Outdoors | Avoid for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PLA | 6¢/g | Models, prototypes, organisers, indoor parts with fine detail | 55 °C | No | Hot cars, dishwashers, parts under constant load |
| PETG | 6¢/g | Functional parts, brackets, clips, damp places | 75 °C | Fair | Very fine detail, parts that must be very stiff |
| ABS | 8¢/g | Enclosures, car interior parts, parts near warm equipment | 95 °C | Fair | Long sun exposure (it yellows) |
| ASA | 8¢/g | Outdoor parts: garden, balcony, vehicle exterior, signage | 95 °C | Yes | Very fine detail |
| TPU (flexible) | 10¢/g | Gaskets, feet, bumpers, grips, protective sleeves | Stays flexible | Fair | Rigid or precise parts |
Softening temperatures are typical figures for these plastics and vary by brand. Ask us if heat matters for your part.
