Materials catalogue

A reference of 3D printing materials that makers on nozzlo work with.

• PLA

  The easiest to print. Good for prototypes and decor, dislikes heat.

• PETG

  Tougher than PLA and not afraid of moisture. A good compromise for everyday parts.

• ABS

  Handles heat and finishes well. Needs an enclosed printer.

• ASA

  Like ABS but doesn't fade in the sun. For outdoor parts.

• TPU

  Flexible like rubber. Gaskets, cases, dampers.

• Nylon (PA)

  Very strong and wear-resistant. Gears, brackets, moving parts.

• PC

  Polycarbonate: the strongest of the common ones, handles high temperatures.

• Standard resin

  The finest detail. Brittle — not for load-bearing parts.

• Tough resin

  Resin detail, but it doesn't shatter on impact.

• PA12 powder

  For SLS: strong functional parts with no supports.
