Hello everyone. I'm currently diving into the world of 3D printing for a project that involves creating functional prototypes and potentially end-use parts. I understand that material selection plays a critical role in the performance and durability of the printed products, but I'm finding it challenging to navigate through the various options available.


Could you share your experiences or best practices regarding:

  1. How to choose the right material based on specific application needs (e.g., mechanical strength, heat resistance, flexibility)?
  2. Recommendations for materials that offer a good balance between cost and performance.
  3. Any tips on sourcing materials that may not be widely available but are ideal for particular applications.


Thank you for your insights!

Regards,
