Not all filament is equal. Here's a plain-English rundown of what we print, what each material is good at, and which to pick — from everyday PLA to engineering-grade nylon and eco-friendly options.
Because our printer is a fully enclosed CoreXY with a 300 °C all-metal hotend, a 100 °C bed, and an active carbon filter, we can run high-temperature engineering plastics that open-frame printers warp and crack on — ABS, ASA, Nylon, and Polycarbonate. A built-in camera lets us watch long, hot prints from anywhere and catch issues early.
A 4-spool AMS sits on top, so a single part can mix up to four colors or materials — multi-color products, dissolvable supports, or color-coded parts in one run.
And with a range of nozzle sizes (0.2–0.8 mm), we tune each job to the part: a fine nozzle for crisp detail and miniatures, a wide one for faster, stronger large prints.
Badges show difficulty: Easy prints anywhere · Enclosed needs our sealed chamber · Advanced for demanding parts.
The everyday workhorse. Crisp detail, vivid colors, easy to print. Plant-based and the greenest common option — great for décor, toys, and indoor products.
Tougher and more flexible than PLA, with better heat and moisture resistance. A reliable all-rounder for functional parts that take a knock.
Rubber-like and bendy. Springs back, grips, and absorbs shock. We run it off an external spool (it's not AMS-friendly).
The classic tough plastic — heat-resistant and easy to sand, glue, and paint. Needs our sealed, filtered chamber to print cleanly.
Like ABS but built for the sun — UV-stable and weatherproof. Our go-to for anything that lives outdoors and needs to hold color.
Slippery, wear-resistant, and tough. The choice for moving parts — gears, hinges, and snap-fits that need to survive repeated use.
About as strong and heat-tolerant as desktop printing gets — stiff, impact-resistant, and dimensionally stable under load.
Fiber-reinforced PETG, PA, and PC for maximum stiffness and a premium matte finish. Available on request once our hardened-nozzle upgrade is in place.
Tell us what the part is for — indoors or out, decorative or load-bearing, rigid or flexible — and we'll match the material for you.
If sustainability matters for your product, ask for these. We're happy to print your order in a lower-impact material where the part allows.
PLA is made from renewable plants like cornstarch and sugarcane rather than petroleum. Under industrial composting (high heat and humidity) it breaks down — so it's the lowest-impact common filament, though it won't degrade in a backyard bin or landfill.
PHA is a bioplastic that biodegrades in far more conditions than plain PLA, including marine environments. Blended with PLA it prints easily and tough — a strong pick when end-of-life matters.
Recycled filament reuses post-consumer plastic — often old water bottles — cutting new material and waste. Slightly more variation in color, same dependable performance.
A note on honesty: "biodegradable" depends on how a part is disposed of. We won't overstate it — ask us and we'll tell you straight which option actually fits your use and disposal.
Display pieces, décor, toys, prototypes. Cheapest, sharpest detail, most colors, greenest.
Everyday parts that flex and take impact without fuss. The reliable middle ground.
Weatherproof and UV-stable. Holds shape and color through Texas summers.
Gears, hinges, load-bearing and heat-exposed parts. Maximum toughness.
Describe the part and where it'll live — we'll recommend the material and print it right.
