Advantages
- Gives more productivity than ABS material
- Comes with an excellent stiffness
- Best for 3D printing(Commonly known as popular materials)
- Can be heated and cooled easily
- Low-cost prototype.
Disadvantages
- Doesn’t work well in high-temperature environments
- Not as tough as other materials around
- Not a good option to be used in moving parts
- Complex designs with details
Note
Support structures are required generated to scaffold overhangs, which are manually removed after printing done. The support structure creates a rough surfaces.
Printing process are used nozzle 0.4mm and 1.75mm diameter filament.
