Materials
ABS
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a common material for 3D printing. Better for making durable parts to withstand higher temperatures. What LEGO bricks are made of. While printing produces harmful fumes.
Extruder Temperature: ~ 230°C Bed Temperature: ~ 85°C Improved Adhesion: UHU, Dissolved ABS in acetone. Smooth: Easy with acetone. Cost: 20 - 30 € / kg
PLA
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a common material for 3D printing. Considered easy because it sticks easier to the bed and cools down slower. Biodegradable.
Extruder Temperature: ~ 190°C Bed Temperature: ~ 70°C Improved Adhesion: PVA coating Smooth: With ethyl acetate (less dangerous), Tetrahydrofuran and Dichloromethane. Cost: 20 - 30 € / kg
HIPS
High Impact Polystyrene Similar to ABS uses Limonene as a solvent making it good for support material.
Extruder Temperature: ~ 230°C Bed Temperature: ~ 85°C Improved Adhesion: UHU Smooth: Sanding, Limonene Cost: 20 - 25 € / kg
PET
Nylon
NinjaFlex
Cost: ~110€ /kg
LayWood
Cost: ~ 200€ /kg
LayBrick
