Material guide

Choose the right material for your install

We primarily print in PETG and ASA. Both are durable and tidy; ASA is best where there’s more heat or sun. Use this page to pick with confidence.

Material

PETG

Great all-rounder with good impact resistance. Slight flex helps resist cracking. Ideal for general mounts and covers in typical room conditions.

  • Good impact resistance
  • Slight flexibility (less brittle)
  • Suitable for most indoor installs
Material

ASA

UV and heat resistant; preferred for sunny rooms, near projectors/amps, or semi-outdoor areas. Slightly more matte surface finish than PETG.

  • Excellent UV resistance
  • Better high-temperature performance
  • Great near windows or warm gear
