Strengths
- Solid strength for everyday parts
- Handles heat well
- Layers bond strongly for clean, watertight prints
- Prints clean with minimal stringing
- Good electrical insulator
Things to watch
- Prone to warping, use a heated bed and ideally an enclosure
- Degrades in sunlight, not ideal for long-term outdoor use
- Gives off noticeable fumes, print with ventilation or filtration
- Fussy about bed adhesion, use a brim, glue, or a textured plate

Specialties
BasicDefault finish with no special surface treatment; slight natural sheen. Prints with a slightly glossy surface and visible layer lines, and is the baseline against which all other finishes are compared.
Heat ResistantWithstands elevated temperatures (hot car, warm electronics) without deforming. Printable on standard printers. HDT ~80-120°C.
Tough / Impact ResistantEngineered to resist breaking, cracking, or shattering under impact. Unlike standard PLA, which snaps, this flexes slightly before breaking. Ideal for parts that get dropped, bumped, or stressed.
Chemical ResistantResists damage from oils, fuels, acids, industrial chemicals or solvents. For laboratory equipment, fuel system components, or chemical storage.
Vapor SmoothableReacts to chemical vapors (acetone for ABS/ASA, or other solvents) that partially melt the surface. Creates a glossy, injection-molded finish with no layer lines.
SandableEasily sanded, filed, or carved without gumming up sandpaper.
