What Should You Print With Standard PLA?
Standard PLA is ideal for:
-
Prototypes and concept models
-
Decorative prints
-
Indoor organisers and tool holders
-
Plant labels and garden markers (non-UV exposed)
-
Grow room brackets (non-load bearing)
-
Hobby parts and accessories
If the part stays indoors and does not experience high heat or full UV exposure, Standard PLA is the most cost-effective option.
