What type of PLA do 3D printers work best with? Hiya! I have a local plastics company trying to sponsor me. They heard about me through a recent news article that was made about me. Due to myself being 15 years of age, they thought it would be a good idea to sponsor me and my projects by providing us pellets to produce our own filament in case I get publicity from my new project that I have been working on. We have a filament extruder all made up, but no quality pellets. We told the company that we prefer PLA. - What type of PLA do our printers print best with? - Are there even different types of pellets? I tried doing a bit of research, but had no luck finding any helpful information, so I was hoping that someone with more knowledge that me in this area would be able to help me out.
