Talk:Most Durable Filament that Can be Easily Printed

  • Making this since so far (short of the one spool of Prusament PLA that came with my printer) all i've been printing has really been Polyterra PLA
  • Works great for stuff that will just kind of sit there on a desk and not have any crazy loading (Stickynote Stencil, Replacement Keyboard Leg, Phone Stands, Gridfinity / other organizational stuff, etc)
  • Made some more "technical" things recently (laptop stand mainly) and they snapped
    • Main issues is thin features, if i scale the print up / use more infill should be fine
      • One of the prints recently, i forget what it was, i used 100% infill and it was fine so this solution works okay
  • Either way i'd like to at least get one spool of a borderline indestructible filament
    • granted stuff like PEEK can get damn expensive, but PC-CF at least is about 2-2.5x as expensive as most PLA which isn't great, but as long as it is uses sparingly should be fine
    • Also, at least here in Florida, PLA softening in a hot car is a decent possibility so that would be another advantage of some of these materials
  • Just wanted to add the context behind me making this page!
