If you have a 3D printer you know that there seems to be a divide with manufacturers recommending PLA and/or ABS for their systems. Some say they can print in both, and others recommend one over the other for optimal performance. In this video you will gain some insight into the key differences between ABS and PLA thermoplastics for 3D Printing.
MAKERBOT PLA FILAMENT
Safe for the classroom, office, or home, this filament is non-toxic and easy-to-print with minimal warping or curling. It's also the best, most consistent filament for the MakerBot Replicator+, MakerBot Replicator Mini+, and the previous Replicator models.
MAKERBOT ABS FILAMENT
More suitable for engineering and testing applications, this filament offers greater impact-resistance than PLA and can better withstand wear and tear. MakerBot ABS is the best most consistent filament for the MakerBot Replicator 2X Experimental 3D Printer.

So basically PLA for making models with fine detail and ABS for making hardware. Got it.... except.... ABS can be acetone bathed for glossy smoothing, so if I wanted to print a Catwoman or T800 head I'd use ABS? Damn I guess trial and error is needed.

It also smells of brown sugar and oatmeal. It took a while before I could label the smell, but it hit me one day. The big problem with PLA however is that it biodegrades... ironically. That means if too much is left on the hot end it will eventually break back down into starch, then sugar, then caramelize, and then... garbage can. I guess you can drill it back out, but those microdrills cost too much and are too fragile. Lately I have only used PLA for test prints since they are too fragile for a lot of things, and long prints with PLA too commonly leads to a clogged nozzle if the print fails due to pla decomposing in the nozzle if something goes wrong. +Even Stephen My cat has an obsession with PLA scraps, she will pull them out of the garbage and eat them. There is no way I can stop her, so I hope it won't hurt her xD

Hello everybody! I´ve some questions regarding 3D printers Can you print your own transformers or action figures with ANY 3D printer or do you need an especific type of printer? What´s the best material to use if you want solid toys: ABS or PLA? How solid is going to be the toy? Like Hasbro´s solid, like a Lego´s brick or is going to be like a really cheap plastic? Do you need to sand the pieces or they´re already smooth as soon as they leave the print? What´s the best software to use to create toys for 3D printing? And how durable is going to be the toy? Is going to break as soon as it hits the floor?
@proto3000_
@proto3000_ 6 жыл бұрын
Hello Samuel, We will try to answer your questions as best we can 1) Yes, you could potentially print action figures with any 3D printer provided you understood the limitations. Having moving arms and legs may not be possible with all 3D printers, and the material used would need to be relatively strong to hold up to day-to-day usage. 2) If you want solid toys, ABS would provide for stronger parts, but PLA would overall be safer 3) ABS and PLA material are very similar to what Lego is made of, sp quite durable. You can set the infill of your print so it can be as sparse or solid as you would like 4) They would need to be sanded depending on the technology 5) To create toys, you could probably get started with Tinkerine, but it depends how advanced you would like to get 6) Depending on the material used it would be relatively durable, able to withstand day-to-day depending on the design as well as the size and fragility of the features. Hope that answers your questions!

Well, there really isn't a clear answer to that question. It depends on the application and project. If you need stronger and more resilient parts that hold up against heat stress, while also having a well ventilated facility to print in, ABS is a better fit. If you are looking for lower-cost concept models, PLA can be better.

ABS is superior to work with once you have everything dialed in. But it does absorb moisture that can cause surface defects as it outgasses as steam during extrusion. Have to keep your spools in a dry desicant chamber in humid environments. Other than that, once the part is made, moisture is not an issue and ABS won't break down like PLA. It is a permanent plastic part.

Hey Thomas, Sorry for the delayed reply. A raft is a setting you can choose in your 3D printing management software that will create a base on which the part will be built. This can be important when removing parts from the build plate, it will prevent damage to the part, and will also promote better adhesion to the plate. More surface area means more adhesion. D-Limonene is a chemical that can be used to dissolve some soluble support material. It is readily available at hardware store in the United States but much more controlled in Canada.

Are any of the filament materials food safe (FDA food safe approved)? thanks
@proto3000_
@proto3000_ 8 жыл бұрын
Hello RealSoundNow on the MakerBot systems we would not have any materials that would be considered food safe. However, on the industrial line of Stratasys 3D printers we do have a material known as ULTEM 1010 that would meet food safety requirements.

OK. The printers for ULTEM 1010 are into the 6 figures of cost. Is that the only choice?
@proto3000_
@proto3000_ 8 жыл бұрын
At the moment ULTEM 1010 is one of the only materials with a food safe designation. To be honest though if you are trying to develop something that would make contact with food it would be recommended to do any concept development or design iterations on a desktop printer, and maybe look at doing the final iterations through our service bureau

PLA is for the most part safe to use, it just releases some lactic acid into the food, but that's naturally occuring stuff, such as in milk, or even in the human body.

I need help. I have a plastic gear with a few teeth broken. I need help steering to someone that can use the existing gear and model over the broken teeth or print most likely with ABS. The part is enclosed and not open to the sun. Any help as to a company or person that can do the modeling and or printing appreciated.

I kinda like PLA for being Wieldable by Aceton. But too much exposure causes PLA to deform. so i think i'll pick ABS.

@SianaGearz
@SianaGearz 7 жыл бұрын
Curiously enough, Makerbot released a document called "PLA and ABS Strength Data", you'll find it. As to water tightness, hard to call it, for bigger objects I think getting a somewhat watertight PLA print is easier because it warps less. Wouldn't consider any FDM 3D print water tight.

can I use Pla and ABS one after another in my 3d doodler and create one item (not for professional use of course) . Did these two filaments stick/glue together strongly or not really?
@rich1051414
@rich1051414 8 жыл бұрын
The ideal temps are different, and plastic will unreliably stick to cold plastic. However, if you were to print the ABS first, PLA second, you might be able to get away with it, as PLA sticks better even when temp shocked.

Hi, Poppy! I have the following problem: my 3D model (not solid) in 1.75mm ABS is "delaminating", after a series of printed lines, spans in the model begin to appear (it is a relatively large model, with more elevation Of 15 cm - the printer has a capacity of 20cm x 20cm x 18cm: it's a Wanhao I3 Plus), I'm extruding with 245º and keeping the table warm by 90º and average speed between 50 and 35mm / s. Any tips on where I might be going wrong? Thank you very much!

Hey! is there an enclosure around your printer to keep the hot air in? Otherwise the ABS prints can crack!
@gavincurtis
@gavincurtis 7 жыл бұрын
Try 110 degrees on your bed for the 1st layer, drop down to 100 on the bed with 60 degrees ambient temperature in the enclosure. No more delamination or warping of ABS in my case. Been printing at those settings for some time and never had to change them.

Whne you buy Makerbot, most of your money goes toward the brand name. Don't waste your money. If you want a makerbot printer, do yo research to find out which clones you can buy that are pretty much the same and save yourself A LOT OF MONEY.
