BREAKING Every Filament | PLA, ABS, PETG, PLA+ and More!
The Ultimate Engineering Filament Series is here to teach you about ALL the different materials available for consumer 3D printers. This video covers the basic filaments, PLA variants, PCTG and ASA. Future videos will cover Nylons, Carbon- and Glass-Fiber filaments, and resin-printed materials.

=== CORRECTIONS & NOTES ===
PRICES: The prices I list for these materials are VERY approximate, I went with a general median-ish prices across Amazon and a few filament distributors. The prices I show are likely to track relative differences within a given brand/distributor, even though it's possible to find individual filaments cheaper if you're not picky about brand. In future videos we're going to see filaments that cost $100+ per kg!
It turns out that PLA+ is NOT a well-defined material. Watch the first 5 minutes of this video to find out more. Also the Slant3D channel is great in general, that guy is super knowledgeable and communicates/teaches really well: • The Truth About PLA+ | Open-Source Doesn't... . That said, Duramic PLA+ is a well-known brand of PLA+, and this video shows it has concrete advantages over PLA, it just may not match other brands of "PLA+"
