Frequently asked questions
Which filament should I buy for my first 3D printer?
PLA+ is a toughened version of PLA. It prints almost as easily but is less brittle, so it handles knocks, snap-fits and light mechanical loads better. For beginners and everyday functional prints, PLA+ is the best all-round choice.
Which filament is the strongest?
ABS and PETG are the strongest of the common materials for functional use; ABS resists heat best, PETG has better layer adhesion and moisture resistance. PLA+ is the strongest of the easy-to-print options.
PLA vs PLA+: what is the difference?
PLA is the easiest filament to print and is ideal for models, prototypes and display pieces, but it softens at roughly 55–65 °C. PLA+ keeps similar print settings but is tougher and less brittle.
