PLA vs ABS | What's the Difference for 3D Printing?

Some say they can print in both, and others recommend one over the other for optimal performance. In this video you will gain some insight into the key differences between ABS and PLA thermoplastics for 3D Printing. MAKERBOT PLA FILAMENT Safe for the classroom, office, or home, this filament is non-toxic and easy-to-print with minimal warping or curling. It's also the best, most consistent filament for the MakerBot Replicator+, MakerBot Replicator Mini+, and the previous Replicator models. MAKERBOT ABS FILAMENT More suitable for engineering and testing applications, this filament offers greater impact-resistance than PLA and can better withstand wear and tear. MakerBot ABS is the best most consistent filament for the MakerBot Replicator 2X Experimental 3D Printer.

  1. It would nice if you guys didn't act like your filament was worth twice as much as everyone else.
  2. How much these two 3D-printers cost?
  3. pla
  4. from where to buy the Analytical chemicals
    ....!
  5. That explains why my molds keep coming out so warped. I'm out of my supplied filament anyway, so it may be time to invest in PLA for the next batch. Thanks!
  6. soo if i want to print a case for my phone, i should use ABS?

  8. PLA reacts to humidityl ABS does not. Why bag ABS? Am I wrong here?
  9. Why are your machines so expensive wgen people sell clones of them at a fraction of the price?
  10. who gives a child the name like Poppy ?
    cruel parents.
  11. 'Hemplyne' by GaGaTrading is 100% Biodegradable Hemp plastic filament ;)
    Toss it in the garden :)
  12. My name is Poppy. I'm Poppy. I'm Poppy. I'm Poppy. I'm Poppy. I'm Poppy.
  13. Hey Papi bae. Want to hang out?
  14. That's Poppy! Everybody wants to be Poppy! Poppy!
  15. i always see PLA almost sold out at the store and i see tons of ABS on the shelf
  16. There's only one Poppy, That Poppy.
  17. baah man 3000 euros for this thing
  18. I would like to have a fully recyclable material that I can toss into a grinder/extruder that turns my waste back into ready-for-printing filament.
  19. wow confusing!!!!
