Filaments for Kitchen 3D Printed Stuff

 

Most of the samples above are not subjected to heat nor extreme pressure. Thus commonly available filaments are enough to print these gadgets. These are the following:

Material	Characteristics
PLA (Polylactic Acid)	Odorless, Low-warp, Eco-Friendly, Less energy to process Can last for 6 months to 2 years depending on the use or purpose of the printed item Good for food containers or items in the kitchen that may touch food Prints faster than ABS 3D printed stuff is durable and offers impact resistance Comes with various colors
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)	Can withstand higher temperatures Strong plastic  Quite flexible and lightweight Perfect for items that might be dropped
PET (PolyEthylene Terephthalate)	This is an FDA-approved filament which means it is food safe. This is perfect for cups, plates, food containers and utensils.  Does not emit awful odor Does not degrade in water and do not absorb moisture

3D printing companies in the Philippines use these materials. These three are compatible with the most 3D printers available in the country. The trick is ask your chosen provider what materials will work best with the kitchen 3D printed stuff you plan on getting.
