What materials do you use for 3D printing?

I print using high-quality filament materials, chosen based on durability, flexibility, and finish. Some of the main materials I use include:

  • PLA (Polylactic Acid) – A biodegradable, easy-to-print material with a smooth surface. Ideal for decorative items, prototypes, and lightweight functional parts.

  • PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)Stronger and more durable than PLA, resistant to moisture, chemicals, and moderate heat. Great for functional parts that need more toughness.

  • ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)Impact-resistant and heat-tolerant, used for industrial components. Requires a heated bed to prevent warping.

  • TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)Flexible and rubber-like, used for soft, bendable prints like phone cases or gaskets.

  • NylonHigh-strength and wear-resistant, ideal for heavy-duty mechanical parts. Requires careful handling due to moisture absorption.

  • Carbon Fiber-Filled Filaments – Reinforced filament that provides extra rigidity and lightweight strength, great for advanced mechanical parts.

Since the X1C excels at multi-material printing, I can use multiple filament types or colors in a single print! Let me know if you have questions about which material best suits your project.
