Here here! I'm gonna be getting a printer sometime in May and this list was great for learning what I'll need for what I wanna print. Ty for the content my dude!
Appreciate the post, but it took me a while to figure out it's just a random slideshow going on in the background and doesn't represent the filament you're talking about, like I would have expected.
ABS is pretty great. Cheap, strong, machinable, so much great about it. An enclosure (heated even better) and a good bed adhesive like Magigoo and you have little to no problem. Oh and it doesn't seem to absorb moisture like PetG, PLA, and Nylon.
I have a Raise3D Pro3 and ASA is my favorite filament to work with. With the heater enclosure and bed I find it almost as easy as PLA or PETG but gives beautiful, strong results. I also like their polycarbonate filament a lot too. People say that’s tough to work with too, but to find nylons and some flexible much more annoying to work with.
Thanks so much! So I got my new Bambu Lab printer with its PLA, PETG, PE-BLAH-BLAH, Filler Support PLA, BLAH and I’m going what the heck do I do with this?? So this video was an excellent intro to filaments and very helpful. In addition to strength, durability, hydro whatever… you might also talk about fumes. I’m guessing that some of these could produce toxic fumes when printing?
Good stuff, I am new to 3d printeing, what filament would you recommend if I want to print something to put inside a car? Temperature can variety from 20-45 degrees and exposed to sunlight.
I would say PETG would be your best bet if you don't have an enclosed printer, if you have an enclosure then ABS would also be a good material. Depending on how hot it gets inside the car (not sure if your temps are outdoors or interior) I have heard of PLA melting. Some PLA+ also supposedly has a slightly higher heat deflection temp, so that may work as well. :)
Thanks! great vid. Which of these UV resistant filaments > ASA, PCTG & PETG are 'strongest'? Speaking of those which UV resistant filament would you recommend for functional parts... eg a shed door handle?
Tanks so much I really understood and learn a lot about the different types of film, now I filled More comfortable on whatever prints I’ll print and with what film I Need to use. *****
Nice, its already quite complete but for other filaments to mention I would say: PVB, Foam (PLA, TPU, ASA, ...), Breakaway support and maybe the different hardness of TPUs?
3:47 hmm, Is PETG hydroscopic? I have just searched online and people say that PETG prints are good for prints that will be in contact with water (and as you said we have PET bottles). Or maybe it is just bad to filament (so before printing)?
I prototype with PLA and depending on the use of the final product I pick the filament best suited for the use of that item. Just remember that most slicers have settings that make a good baseline for adjustments required when going from one filament, say PLA, to another filament, say ABS or PETG. And not all filament is the same even if marked the same. Quality filament always costs a little more.. Seen more people get frustrated and quit 3D printing because they have used the cheapest filaments and then wonder why their prints look like shit.
@@JimGray65 Late comment but for those curious, Descending in price: Prusament (Absolutely the best, but twice the price of other filaments), Polymaker (Spoiled with choice for filament, great quality, and much better price), Sunlu (Depends on the filament you buy, but usually cheaper and prints well), eSun (probably the most popular budget filament. Great for the price), and then there’s everything else. Usually you’ll get a printable product from others but I’ve yet to see other worthy filaments mentioned more than these brands.
I was excited when you mentioned PLA can be damaged by prolonged sunlight. I figured you’d give the specifics for each type, but when we got to ABS, no mention… 😢 I have some outdoor things I want to do, and it’s be nice to know… (I’m going to watch the rest, see if there is any UV/Outdoor information. Update: hmmm, maybe ASA…
Any recommendations on a beginner, I want to buy a 3d printer, but I don’t know which one is over priced and something simple. I mainly want to craft some desk organizers for my ikea desk.
Bought my first printer from a guy and he gave me 2 basically identical brandless spools of ABS, 1 brand new and 1 almost used up. I used the latter first and the bed temperature had to stay in 105 for a good result. And when I switched to the other spool, it constantlly overheated so I lowered the bed temperature to 90 and it turned out much better. I suspect these are not ABS at all because I printed them with no enclosure and inside a room with AC and a ceiling fan right on top of where I put the printer, even though it does emmit a not very pleasant odor. I guess if you want consistent results in your prints, stick to notable brands and a certain kind of material.
HI, I'm new to 3D printing, i got the Ender-3 v2, i have a PLA filament (i think need to check) i printed something similar to a syringe, but the surface is kind of rough and not smooth,(printed 2 part,a cylinder and a shaft, and its noisy and not smooth moving when the shaft is moving inside the cylinder) is there a filament that can be some how be smooth like a syringe plastic, maybe also transparent (but not have too) that works well with the Ender3 v2 and it as precision like PLA or more ? Thanks
Anybody know what material I should use for a homemade socket? Like a 3/8 drive automotive socket that would hold a little torque before the drive side rounding/crushing in?
Hi guys I only have an ender 3v2 right now it has a glass heated bed (lol but I'm sure you knew that) and I would like to print items for my machine shop, items like tool holders, switch enclosures etc, some times machine oil can get on the items but not always, can you suggest something for me?
I am a beginner looking for the best filament for a project. It needs to be rigid, uv and water resistant, and a relatively popular filament. I already have lot of PLA, and was wondering if there are things to finish those print to make them last, or If there are better, easier types.
Hello friend, I am a filament manufacturer, I think I can provide you with this aspect of help, if you want to know, I am always looking forward to your reply
What type of fillement would sqweek like a black board. I'm waiting to make mini skateboard weels for my fingerboard. And I want them to sqweek & grip when I powerslide like on a real skateboard????
So I know a good amount of ppl like to print enclosures for circuit boards like their pis or arduino projects. I personally have been wondering how ESD safe these plastics are, although I know there are specific ones marketed for this.
Hi. I got a dumb question. When you say drybox, I immediately picture a dehydrator. Seeing as they both do roughly the same thing, is it necessary to buy a drybox if I already have access to a dehydrator?
Ppl have converted dehydrators to dryboxes , imo thats the way to go because there usealy got more power then the drynoxes , the downside is its on or off unless you get crafty with relays and temp/humidity sensors and whatnot
A few more things to consider that is going on in the background which can affect the filament and printed parts. The raw polymer is compounded by different vendors with different additives. Some vendors use all virgin polymers and some use virgin + recycled polymer. The additives used in the compounding will vary from compounder to compounder and also vary by color in order to disperse the pigment properly or protect the polymer from degradation. Processing during compounding is done in the melt and then extruded/pelletized before extruded again to form filament (usually by a different vendor). So the polymer sees multiple thermal cycles above the melt and can degrade. So it is wise to look at each vendor/polymer/color combination as unique before investing huge $$ in a print even though the spools may have similar data (extrusion temp for example). Eventually if the volume is high enough, there will be ASTM tests to standardize these materials. There may be batch to batch variations from a vendor that may only be noticed during/after printing which will be difficult to trace.
Thank god there are humans on this planet the just give the correct info without jokes. Five massive star brother. *****,
Anytime!
Your welcome bro

Why did the chicken cross the road?
@@Weirdomanificationto get to the other side?
Only video where i approve of background noise. Cuz i know you got a printer going in the back :D
Appreciate the post, but it took me a while to figure out it's just a random slideshow going on in the background and doesn't represent the filament you're talking about, like I would have expected.
Bro, I was so confused for half the video 😂
Simple and to the point. That's refreshing.
Concise and clear info. Thanks for taking the time.
Interesting shortlist of different filaments!
ABS is pretty great. Cheap, strong, machinable, so much great about it. An enclosure (heated even better) and a good bed adhesive like Magigoo and you have little to no problem. Oh and it doesn't seem to absorb moisture like PetG, PLA, and Nylon.
It's also used in automotive so good for making replacement plastic parts or adapters.
It just smells strong
@@drblandpi I don't really notice a smell from it. Probably a me issue 🤣

I also like their polycarbonate filament a lot too. People say that’s tough to work with too, but to find nylons and some flexible much more annoying to work with.
but it makes fumes
Brilliant and informative video. Thank you. You could make a table with pros and cons of all discussed filaments.

What was the process to get the owl on the left @3:57 to look so smooth and shiny when printed in PETG?
Thanks for your video. For a newbie, you explained it well.
Tanks so much

@b1icky Hatchbox is great. So was 3DSolutech but they stopped production.

ASA is my go-to for indoor or outdoor parts. Stuff is fantastic.
@@automaticprojects thanks. I’ll give ASA a try.

Pla! Plentyful least toxic fumes and most forgiving!

The xyz printer was telling me I could not use the PLA filament for this project that I need to use Anti-Bact filament what was it talking about?
Well explains Thank you❤️

Real skateboard wheels are generally made from poly...
Great explanation, thanks. 👍🏻
Im curious about the metal filled ones
So I know a good amount of ppl like to print enclosures for circuit boards like their pis or arduino projects. I personally have been wondering how ESD safe these plastics are, although I know there are specific ones marketed for this.
There are ESD-safe versions of PETG, but I’ve never had a short caused by any plastic
They build up static electricity in certain weathers....@@automaticprojects
Would loved to have the timeline for all filaments. Great vid
Great vid! Thank you buddy.
Your got it! Make sure you leave a like and subscribe!
@@Technivorous Absolutely! I have been for awhile I just don't normally comment.
Thanks for this video. Can you add chapters to it?

What would you recommend for a fishing bait
Probably worms or minnows but it depends what you wanna catch
Ok bad jokes aside, I would probably use something that is rated for uv exposure. I know ic3d has a nice uv petg
@@Technivorous 🤣🤣🤣
this reminds me of a middle school prestation
Great Stuff very cool!
Hi, long time. I wish you mentioned the common household plastics, HDPE,PETE,PVC. Thank you, great advice
You can only use 15 pictures in your video.... ok
Basics for future reference:
PETG: temps: 225-260c
Bed temps 60-70c
Hydroscopic: needs dry box
Thank you so much
How do they hold up when washed with chemicals?
Should’ve included relatable images
But details were helpful thanks
I don't have a favorite filament, but I am writing a comment.
What is about PCL Filaments
why is wood in the thumbnail but not in the video...
Time code to where he talks about the metal filament please? Anyone?
Anyone ever print hemp filament I got a roll and nothing but jams 😭

All filament use suitable print brand pls
How about smell and toxic to work with in your house
Thanks
Gold and Silver filament???
Was that a pokemon chime?
Helped a lot, but the video seems like a school of project. You can really tell there’s a script behind it. Just feedback.
Not all filament is plastic, so I thought there would be more to it
What about PP,,LD& HD
Haha pp
Now the only thing you have not talked about how toxic they can be?
🖖 👍
I wonder how uncomfortable those stripper heels are to wear
there not bad actually and they make me really tall!
