Which 3D printing material is best for your application? I tested PRUSAMENT PLA, PETG and ASA to see how the perform in the categories: Price, Printability, Printing Quality, Static Strength and Layer Adhesion, Ductility, Stiffness, Impact Resistance and Thermal Resistance.
Let's find out how the materials perform and when you should use which!
Check out our CNC Kitchen products at https://cnckitchen.store/ or at resellers cnckitchen.com/reseller and on AMAZON (EU) geni.us/s8rYtQ
Print settings of the hooks:
3 perimeters, 20% infill, 0.165mm layer height, 8 top & bottom layers

![I made COFFEE 3D Printing FILAMENT
Start your free trial at http://squarespace.com/cnckitchen and use code CNCKITCHEN to get 10% off your first purchase.
I made my own Bio-Composite material for 3D printing by mixing Spent Coffee Grounds with PLA. Weโll talk about why such a material might be useful, what I had to do to make it printable on a regular 3D printer, how the mechanical properties are, and most importantly, how it smells during printing.
