Adafruit 3D Printer Filaments
3D printer filaments are the materials that are used in 3D printing to create 3D objects. They play a pivotal role in the entire 3D printing process. There is a wide variety of filaments that can be used, each one tailored to specific applications. Some of the more common filaments include ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PLA (Polylactic Acid), PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol Copolymer), Nylon, TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), wood, metal, and even edible materials such as chocolate and sugar paste. Each filament has its own unique properties, allowing for a diverse range of applications from medical, industrial, art and even food applications. Understanding the specific qualities of a certain material and its corresponding 3D printer filament is key in creating successful 3D prints.
