Video Description
In this video, I test 17 functional & specialty 3D printer filament types to help you level up your next 3D printing project. Brought to you by Prusa Research. Check out their awesome lineup of 3D printers at https://jle.vi/prusa
This isn't another "PLA vs PETG" or "PETG vs ABS" video. Or a video that pontificates on the best filament for 3D printing. Weโre testing 17 lesser-known, functional and special-purpose 3D printer filament types designed to take your 3D prints beyond the boring PETG and PLA filament you're used to.
Iโll walk you through:
๐ What each filament is designed for
๐ What makes it unique compared to standard 3d printer filaments
๐ How easy (or painful) it is to 3d print
๐ Whether itโs actually worth your money
And stick around until the end... because I saved a few very unusual filament types that Iโve never printed before.... including what is possibly the strongest filament for 3d printing I've ever seen.
Whether you're looking to make stronger functional 3d prints, engineering prototypes, or just to experiment with advanced 3d printing, this guide will help you figure out which specialty filaments deserve a spot on your spool rack.
