Different 3D printing projects require different filament materials. PLA is great for beginners due to its ease of use and lower printing temperatures, while ABS offers higher strength and durability, making it ideal for functional parts. If you're looking for flexibility, consider TPU. Always match the filament material with your project's needs and your printer's capabilities.
Filaments come in two main diameters: 1.75mm and 2.85mm (often referred to as 3mm). Ensure you choose the right diameter that matches your 3D printer's specifications. Using the incorrect size can lead to poor print quality or even damage your printer.
The aesthetic of your 3D prints can be significantly influenced by the colour and finish of the filament you choose. While standard colours like black, white, and grey are versatile, experimenting with vibrant colours or speciality finishes like metallic or glow-in-the-dark can add a unique touch to your projects. Consider how the final product will be used and displayed when selecting a filament colour and finish.
