When you begin tinkering with the 3D print technology, the best bet is PLA filaments. Few of the advantages are:

  • It is easy to print
  • Melts at 200-degree Celsius
  • Does need only about 50-degree Celsius on the hotbed
  • Does not produce any harmful fumes, dust or smell
  • Less affected by humidity
  • Prints are strong
  • Bio-degradable

However, if you need the print to be exposed to a hot environment, this is not the choice.
