3D Printing Materials

PLA

PLA is affordable and great for decorative prints, prototypes, organizers, models, and low-stress parts.

Strengths

• Clean detail and broad colour availability.
• Good for everyday prints and simple prototypes.
• Usually the most affordable option.

Limitations

• Not ideal for high heat.
• Less durable than PETG for functional parts.

PETG

PETG is a strong, durable option for functional parts, brackets, clips, outdoor-ish use, and parts needing more toughness.

Strengths

• Better toughness than PLA.
• Good for many 3D printed replacement parts.
• Useful where wear resistance matters.

Limitations

• Slightly less crisp detail than PLA.
• More expensive than PLA.

TPU

TPU is flexible and impact-absorbing for bumpers, feet, grips, protective parts, and soft-touch items.

Strengths

• Flexible and forgiving.
• Good for protective covers and feet.
• Can absorb light impact and vibration.

Limitations

• Not suitable for every design.
• Slower to print.
• More expensive than PLA or PETG.

Resin

High-detail resin printing is planned for miniatures, high-detail models, and smooth display pieces. It is marked coming soon until the resin workflow is ready.

Limitations

• More brittle than many FDM materials.
• Usually smaller parts.
• Requires post-processing.
• Not ideal for many functional parts.
