# FDM 3D Printing Materials

## Standard Materials

<table><thead><tr><th width="128">Material</th><th width="450">Description</th><th width="129.63330078125">Nozzle Temp</th><th width="130">Bed Temp</th><th width="450">Other Notes</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>PLA</td><td>The most common 3D printing material. Moderate strength, low temperature resistance.</td><td>190-230 °C</td><td>50-70 °C</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>PETG</td><td>Moderate strength. Moderate temperature resistance.</td><td>230-260 °C</td><td>60-80 °C</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>ABS</td><td>Moderate strength. Moderate temperature resistance</td><td>240-260 °C</td><td>90-100 °C</td><td>Warps very easily, must be printed in an enclosure.</td></tr><tr><td>ASA</td><td>Moderate strength. Moderate temperature resistance.</td><td>240-260 °C</td><td>90-100 °C</td><td>Similar to ABS but slightly easier to work with.</td></tr><tr><td>TPU</td><td>Flexible material. Low temperature resistance.</td><td>190-230 °C</td><td>30-50 °C</td><td>Must use glue stick under print. Harness depends on durometer rating. Must be dried before use.</td></tr></tbody></table>
