PLA filament

• Biodegradable.
• Better suited for highly detailed designs.
• PLA is not heat resistant.
• Breaks easier than ABS.

So PLA is particularly suitable when you want to make models.

ABS filament

• Can take a beating, even at lower temperatures.
• Heat resistant, some ABS filaments are suitable for washing out.
• Easier to glue than PLA.
• Non-biodegradable.

These properties make ABS particularly suitable for utensils. Examples include coffee mugs, plates, toys or mechanical parts.

PETG filament

• Breaks less quickly than other filaments.
• Heat Resistant.
• Non-biodegradable.
• The material scratches quickly.

PETG is a strong and flexible filament. The material is allowed to come in contact with food and water. This is how you make water bottles and fresh food containers.
