What are the different types of materials and what are they for?

PLA+:

PLA+ is my primary choice for 80% of my 3D printing needs. It offers a slight flex and comes in a wide range of vibrant colors, making it perfect for artistic projects or items requiring lower strength. It's easy to print with and offers good dimensional accuracy.

PETG:

Similar to PLA+, PETG provides a balance of strength and flexibility but has the added advantage of withstanding higher temperatures before warping. It's a great choice for functional parts or objects that may be exposed to mild mechanical stress.

ASA:

When strength is a priority, ASA is my go-to material. It boasts higher melting points and greater overall strength compared to PETG and PLA+. This filament is ideal for producing durable and robust components that can withstand tougher conditions.

TPU:

For applications requiring both strength and flexibility, TPU is an excellent choice. Its rubber-like consistency allows for significant bending and stretching without losing its integrity. High friction properties make it suitable for creating phone cases or protective items.

PA-CF (Nylon infused with Carbon Fibre):

When facing extreme conditions, PA-CF comes to the rescue. Infused with carbon fibre, this filament exhibits exceptional temperature and chemical resistance, making it perfect for manufacturing car parts or components exposed to harsh environments.
