- PROS
- Good detail, nearly odorless, affordable. Less glossy than PETG (not PLA Matte).
- CONS
- Less tough than PETG/ABS. Softens above ~50°C.
- GOOD FOR
- Decor, figures, prototypes, housings, toys, household parts.
Infill - why not always 100%
Parts are not solid plastic inside: an infill grid holds the shape and saves material. Outer walls stay solid.
More infill means heavier, slower and more expensive. Strength does not scale 1:1 - jumping from 20% to 100% costs more than it usually helps.
