PLA, PETG, ASA or TPU: which material should you choose?

18 September 2026

PLA

Easy to print, fine surface, good for indoor decor and accessories. Softens in a hot car or direct sun.

PETG

Tougher and more heat tolerant than PLA. A good choice for things that get used, flexed or rinsed.

ASA

Better for outdoor use and UV. Used for garden accessories and parts that live outside.

TPU

Soft and springy. Used for grips, dampers and flexible parts.

An important note on claims

PLA is not automatically compostable in a garden compost, and none of our materials are approved for food contact.
