| PLA | white | awesome. love the matte-ness of it, looks a lot like plaster. I’ve not had a print fail with this material | |
| PP | clear | a bit tricky to print with but once it works it’s a cool material. flexible and a bit squishy and soft feeling. I printed at about 210[1] | |
| PLA | black | too shiny for my purposes. reminds of black garbage bags, in a bad way. | |
| PVA | natural | hard when printed but dissolves in water. Used as structure material in 2nd extruder allowing for otherwise impossible prints with extreme overhangs and curves with no marks on the print afterward. | |

| PLA | natural | my fave PLA. easy to print with. translucent and has a reminder of something organic, to me. | |
| Colorfabb | |||
| PC-NGEN | LUX gold | very sparkly and pretty! looks more gold than yellow. | |
| PC-NGEN | white/black/gray | i found it stringy and melty. experiment with printing at lower temp? | |
| PLA/metal | Bronzefill | need to try it on something serious. | |
| PLA/metal | Copperfill | i have a sample, to be tried. | |
| PLA/wood | Corkfill | My favorite wood filament thus far. Dark wood color. Easy to sand and if oiled it looks a lot like real wood. | |
| Form Futura | |||
| PLA/metal | Metalfil Ancient Bronze | ||
| PLA/stone | Stonefil Terracotta | nice and heavy and rough as terracotta. color is fairly uniform. tried sanding it with mixed results. check temperatures carefully. | |
| LayFilaments | pretty much always: lower temps (+/-140-160°) are better. low heat bed, 80% print speed of PLA, 110% flow rate: gives very clean lines. | ||
| WAX | Moldlay | FAQ print at 170 – 180° C, heated bed max. 40°C treat your mold at ~ 270°C in an old baking oven only the wax flows restless out the mold, similar as hot paraffin | |
| PLA/stone | Laybrick | heated bed necessary @50+/-, print temp: 140-165°C to get smooth, higher temperatures (from 210°) will print rougher surfaces, slicing: object fill max. 25% the filament is brittle under 20°C, heat it and it´s bendable | |
| Wood | Laywoo-D3 | [2] print at 160 – 210° C (tree rings if you play with temp.) Use the larger nozzles to avoid clogging | |
| Felt | Layfelt | [3] to be tried. | |
| PVA | to be tried. | ||
| Orbi-Tech | |||
| PET | clear | print very high @232°, bed at 100°. don’t like it as much as PP. stringy, hard to get good lines. quite rigid but you can squeeze it a little bit when printed hollow. | |
| PVA Advance | natural | so far my favorite dissolvable filament. Dissolves fast even in cold water. | |
| TreeD | |||
| PLA/stone | Dark Stone | dark gray | print at @230°, bed at 100°. It tries to lift off the bed so use strong glue. Has good detail and is very matte. print NO FAN specifications[4] |
| PLA/clay | Clay | pink | print at @220°, bed at 100°, fan on |
| PLA/stone | Sandy | tan | print at @230°, bed at 100°, fan OFF or it forms cracks |

| PLA | Gold Happens | sparkly yellow gold | this is just PVA but I love the color. The best gold filament so far. |
