SANSIL 3D
Material
PLA — Polylactic acid
The best surface detail, provided the part stays indoors.
Use it for
- Models, display stands, decorative objects
- Shape prototypes, before moving to a technical material
- Anything that needs to look good more than it needs to be strong
What it will not do
- Deforms from 55 °C: never in a car, never near a radiator
- Turns brittle after a few months in the sun
- Snaps cleanly instead of bending

What we have learned using it
It is the easiest material to print, so the cheapest in machine time. When a part lives indoors and takes no load, there is no reason to pay more.
