Buyer Guide 3D Printing Supplies

When shopping for materials for your 3D printer, it’s important to do your homework. 3D printing isn’t cheap, so you’ll want to purchase the best supplies you can.

Consider the 3D printer. Some printers have certain materials that they work best with.
Consider the material. Some materials work better with certain printers.
Consider the extruder. Some printers work best with an extruder that is compatible with their materials.
Consider the PLA/ABS ratio. PLA and ABS have different melting points. Some printers work best with one type of material.

How to choose 3D Printing Supplies

Choosing 3D printing supplies requires a little bit of experimentation. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for materials:

The ABS plastic used in 3D-printed objects often has a bit of giving when it’s warm. This makes it ideal for producing small, fragile, or flexible objects.
PLA (polylactic acid) is a type of biodegradable plastic that’s commonly used by hobbyists and artists. PLA is edible and can be easily recycled after use.
Supports can be added to 3D printed objects, which help the 3D printed object stay upright during the printing process. Support material can be included in the print file, or removed manually afterward.

How to maintain 3D Printing Supplies

3D printing is a fast-growing industry, and many people with 3D printers are excited to add to their collections. However, 3D printing supplies can be expensive, and you dont want your materials to go to waste. So, how do you keep your materials in good condition?

Keep them organized. Many materials come in resealable bags, and its easy to lose track of whats inside. By storing your materials in resealable bags, youll always have an easy way of seeing whats inside.
Dont pack them full. Packing materials too full can force the material inside the bag to break apart and warp. So, if youre storing your materials in resealable bags, they should be packed loosely.
Keep them clean. 3D printers use plastic filament, which tends to be very sticky. When storing or transporting your materials, use a thin layer of vegetable oil to keep them from sticking to each other or to other objects.
Wash them by hand. Many 3D printers use a heated build plate that melts layers of plastic together. Printed parts can get stuck in this plate, which can damage the 3D printer. So, instead of washing the parts in the washing machine, wash them by hand.
Oil them regularly. It is a good idea to oil your 3D printers print bed regularly to keep parts from sticking to it.
Clean them regularly. Cleaning your 3D printers print bed is essential. If you dont clean the print bed regularly, it may become covered with dried, hardened plastic, which can cause parts to get stuck.
Keep them out of sunlight. UV light can damage or discolor your model parts. So, place your 3D printer in a well-lit, cool area.
