Choosing the right material makes all the difference. Here’s our breakdown!
PLA (Polylactic Acid)
Our go-to for most props. Lightweight, easy to print, eco-friendly. Best for: Large weapons, display pieces. Weakness: Can warp in hot cars!
PETG
Stronger and more flexible than PLA. Best for: Armor pieces, items that need durability. Slightly heavier but much tougher.
Resin
Ultra-detailed but more fragile. Best for: Small accessories, jewelry, detailed helmets. Requires more post-processing.
Our Recommendation
For most cosplayers, PLA is perfect. Upgrade to PETG for wearables or rough handling.
