PETG
Our recommendation for most jobs
What it's good for
Parts that have to do a job — brackets, housings, jigs, clips, replacement components. It flexes a little before it breaks, and it shrugs off a hot car or a sunny windowsill.
How it feels
Solid and slightly waxy to the touch. Feels closer to an injection-moulded part than a hobby print.
The finish
Subtle sheen, layer lines visible but even. Looks industrial in the good sense.
PLA
Best for shape and detail
What it's good for
Concept models, architectural pieces, display parts and anything where crisp edges matter more than toughness. Not the one for heat or heavy load.
How it feels
Rigid and light. Snaps rather than bends if you push it too far.
The finish
The sharpest detail we offer, with a clean matte surface that takes paint and sanding well.
PLA Silk+
When it needs to look good
What it's good for
Presentation pieces, props, gifts and anything being photographed or handed to a client.
How it feels
Smooth, with a satin slip to it. Noticeably more premium in the hand.
The finish
A soft pearlescent shine that catches the light and hides layer lines better than standard PLA.
