1. *PLA (Polylactic Acid)*: - It's the most popular and easiest to use filament, especially for beginners ([00:00:48]). - PLA is easy to print with, available in many colors, and relatively inexpensive ([00:01:12] - [00:01:46]). - However, it's brittle and has a low melting point, making it unsuitable for functional prints ([00:02:44] - [00:03:09]). 2. *ABS*: - This filament is stronger and more heat-resistant than PLA, making it suitable for functional prints ([00:03:28] - [00:04:02]). - ABS is cheap but requires a well-ventilated enclosure due to toxic fumes ([00:03:44] - [00:04:12]). 3. *PETG*: - Known for high strength and heat resistance, it's suitable for functional parts ([00:04:36] - [00:05:01]). - PETG is easy to print with but can warp, requiring higher bed temperatures and adhesive ([00:05:04] - [00:05:37]). 4. *TPU*: - This is a flexible filament, great for creating rubber-like prints, such as phone cases ([00:06:45] - [00:07:12]). - TPU requires a direct drive setup and is more challenging to print ([00:07:16] - [00:07:39]). 5. *Nylon*: - An engineering-grade filament that is super rigid and suitable for functional and stiff parts ([00:07:52] - [00:08:13]). - Nylon is expensive, very hygroscopic, and difficult to print, making it not suitable for beginners ([00:08:16] - [00:08:30]).
My first filament spool I used was petg 😂

and what profiles do you use for all of thoses in bambu studio??
I don’t want to put glue on my build plate is it fine just to print it like Pla?
PETG bonds to a textured PEI plate? I hear that for the first time.
What type of dryer you use?

which filament would you recommend for plant pots? some would be outdoors
Probably PETG or ASA
Just so you can have your outlier, I started with ASA.
A started in 2015 with ABS.
Technology has come a long way since then
that didn't look like it was "easy" to break
Met young teenager Daniel @ our Baptist church. 3 months ago his Dad bought him a printer like these.
Weird/creepy comment. Thanks for sharing.
technically, PLA is stronger than the others... or at least more rigid. Much more rigid than ABS. But layer adhesion isn't as good. Also, HyGROscopic.
Voxel labs just made asa
Your p1s is slow, get on my level (Sub 6 minute benchy)
Really cool
