Bambulab PLA Basic filament is a popular choice for general-purpose 3D printing due to its ease of use and reliability. It's biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly option, and it offers a good balance of strength and flexibility for a wide range of applications. PLA is less prone to warping compared to other materials, making it ideal for printing large or intricate parts. This filament works well for prototypes, models, and decorative items. Ensure proper cooling during printing to achieve the best surface finish.
