Materials

Density, print temperature and when to choose each 3D printing material — a reference for cost calculation.

Density: 1.04 г/см³ · 230–250°C

ABS

ABS density, nozzle and bed temperature, whether you need an enclosure, and when ABS is worth it over PLA/PETG — including its impact on print cost.

Density: 1.07 г/см³ · 240–260°C

ASA

ASA density, nozzle and bed temperature, how it differs from ABS, and when ASA is the right choice for outdoor 3D printed parts.

Density: 1.13 г/см³ · 240–270°C

Nylon (PA)

Nylon (PA) density, nozzle and bed temperature, drying before printing and when an engineering plastic pays off — a reference for 3D print cost calculation.

Density: 1.2 г/см³ · 260–310°C

PC

Polycarbonate density, nozzle and bed temperature, how it outperforms ABS in strength and heat resistance — a reference for 3D print cost calculation.

Density: 1.27 г/см³ · 230–250°C

PETG

PETG density, nozzle and bed temperature, impact and heat resistance — when PETG is worth choosing over PLA, and how it affects your 3D print cost.

Density: 1.24 г/см³ · 190–220°C

PLA

PLA density, nozzle and bed temperature, which parts it suits and when PETG or ABS is the better pick — a reference guide for 3D print cost calculation.

Density: 1.21 г/см³ · 210–230°C

TPU

TPU density, nozzle and bed temperature, which parts call for flexible filament and what to watch for while printing — a reference for print cost calculation.
