Filament Materials https://www.prusa3d.com/material-guides/
- PLA, low cost, good heat resistance, good finish, has odor and heavy warping when printing,
- ABS, low cost, good strength, not durable, not outdor, low heat resistance
- Flex, TPE or TPU, felxible, durable, difficult to print, less strength
- Carbon can be added to PLA and ABS to increase strength
- PETG, Nylon, Polycarb, Polyprop
Hazards: fine particles, VOCs
