Filament

A 3D printing material made of a thermoplastic polymer. It comes in spools of different thicknesses.

ABS Polymer

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene

• durable
• non-toxic
• high melting point
• used to make childrens toys (e.g. Legos)

PLA Polymer

Polylactic Acid

• plant-based & biodegradable
• lower melting point
• odorless
• low-warp
• doesn't require heated print bed
• most commonly used filament
