MATERIALS
Five materials, one nozzle.
Everything we stock, what it feels like, and where it does and does not make sense. If you are not sure which to pick, PLA Basic is the right default.
PLA Basic
MATTE SATIN
Our default material. Reliable, low warp, good detail. The right choice unless you have a reason to pick something else.

PLA Matte
LOW SHEEN, SOFT TOUCH
Same PLA backbone, a matte surface finish that hides layer lines better and reads as a finished product rather than a printed one.
