Choosing a material
If you are ordering a print of your own, this is a quick guide to the filaments I use.
PLA
A good all-rounder with fine detail and a wide choice of colours. Best for display pieces, gifts and models used indoors. It softens in high heat, so keep it away from hot cars and radiators.
PETG
Tougher and a little flexible, with better resistance to moisture. A good choice for everyday functional parts, organisers and brackets.
TPU
A flexible, rubber-like material. Best for grips, feet, bumpers, seals and anything that needs to bend or absorb knocks.
ABS
Strong and more heat resistant than PLA. Suited to parts that need to cope with some heat or wear. Available on request, so please ask before you order.
Not sure which to choose? Tell me what the part will be used for and I will suggest one.
