Filament Database
Comprehensive guide to 3D printing materials with recommended settings
PLA (Standard)
PLAMost popular filament for beginners. Easy to print, biodegradable, low warping.
PLA Marble
PLA-MarblePLA with marble-like appearance and patterns.
PLA Matte
PLA-MattePLA with matte, non-reflective surface finish.
PLA Silk
PLA-SilkPLA with shiny, silk-like surface finish. Decorative applications.
PLA+ (Enhanced)
PLA+Enhanced PLA with improved strength and flexibility. Still easy to print.
CPE (Co-Polyester)
CPEChemical resistant co-polyester. Similar to PETG with better properties.
HIPS
HIPSHigh Impact Polystyrene. Often used as dissolvable support for ABS.
PCTG
PCTGA tougher, more impact-resistant cousin of PETG with excellent clarity and layer bonding. Prints almost as easily as PETG but with better durability.
PETG
PETGExcellent balance of strength, flexibility, and printability. Food-safe options available.
PLA Carbon Fiber
PLA-CFCarbon fiber reinforced PLA. Stiffer with matte finish.
PLA Glow-in-Dark
PLA-GlowPLA with phosphorescent particles that glow in the dark.
PLA Wood
PLA-WoodPLA with wood particles. Can be sanded, stained, and smells like wood.
PVA
PVAWater-soluble support material. Perfect for complex geometries.
PVB
PVBA polishable material that can be smoothed to a glass-like, transparent finish with isopropyl alcohol vapor - no sanding required. Popular for decorative and translucent prints.
TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer)
TPEVery soft flexible material, easier to print than TPU.
TPU 95A
TPUFlexible filament with rubber-like properties. 95A shore hardness.
ABS
ABSStrong and heat-resistant. Requires enclosure. Classic industrial plastic.
ASA
ASAUV-resistant alternative to ABS. Excellent for outdoor applications.
Nylon PA6
NylonStrong, wear-resistant engineering material. Requires dry storage.
PETG Carbon Fiber
PETG-CFCarbon fiber reinforced PETG. Stiffer than regular PETG.
TPU 85A (Soft)
TPUVery soft and flexible TPU. More challenging to print than 95A.
Nylon Carbon Fiber
Nylon-CFCarbon fiber reinforced nylon. Extremely strong and stiff.
PA-GF (Glass-Filled Nylon)
PA-GFGlass-fiber reinforced nylon offering high stiffness, strength, and heat resistance for demanding functional parts. Requires a hardened nozzle, drying, and ideally an enclosure.
PEEK
PEEKHigh-performance engineering plastic for extreme applications.
PEI (Ultem)
PEIHigh-strength, flame-retardant aerospace material.
Polycarbonate (PC)
PCImpact-resistant, high temperature engineering plastic.
Polypropylene (PP)
PPFlexible, fatigue-resistant, chemical-resistant living hinge material.
PPS-CF
PPS-CFA high-performance carbon-fiber-reinforced engineering polymer with outstanding heat resistance, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability. Requires a high-temp hotend and a heated chamber.
