Dial in your printer

PLA

Easiest to print. Start here if you've never printed.

PLA+

TerraEco's everyday filament. PLA-easy to print, far less brittle.

PETG

Stronger and weather-resistant. Stringy and fussy, but worth it for functional parts.

ABS

Heat-proof and acetone-smoothable. Needs an enclosure and ventilation.

TPU

Rubber-like and flexible. Slow, gentle settings required.

Bedslinger (Ender, MPW-style)

Moving bed, open frame. The most common budget printer in the Philippines.

CoreXY (Bambu Lab, Voron, RatRig)

Light moving head, rigid bed. Fast with minimal ringing.

Enclosed printer (temperature-controlled chamber)

Sealed chamber with heat control. The right choice for ABS/ASA.

Delta / other kinematics

Three towers, moving toolhead. Fast and prone to tower shake.
