- Major material used is the PLA (Polylactic Acid) is an extremely awesome polymer for many reasons. It's bio-friendly, as it's made from corn, which is a renewable resource. PLA is biodegradable, which means it will break down in a landfill. It has an extremely low shrinkage factor, which means it resists warping, even at very large print sizes. It can be made in any colour to suit the you
- ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is considered to be the second
easiest material to work with when you start 3D printing. ABS is an
engineering polymer commonly used to produce car bumpers due to its
toughness and strength. It’s also the stuff that Lego blocks are made
of…tough enough but safe enough for the kids to handle!
Please note however, consideration must be made when printing larger objects – thermal stress can cause ABS to warp as the part cools.
ABS is suitable to make light, rigid, molded products with good shock absorbance and wear resistance.
ABS is available in white, black, red, blue, yellow and green colors and has a matte appearance. (turbocad)
For both 1.75mm could range $60-$70
