Two videos back I did a bunch of tests on whether resin or filament prints were stronger. Basically, the resins we use, at least that’s the common impression, they are much more brittle than the plastics we use as filaments, but on the other hand, resin prints have no layers adhesion issues, so I wanted to find out if that would actually make resin prints weaker or stronger in the end.

Elegoo resin vs. Prusa resin vs. PETG vs. PLA
Resin printers! These things have been getting incredibly cheap and really good lately. They’re not quite as convenient or safe to use as filament printers, and the other thing that usually comes up is “isn’t the resin super brittle and weak?”
Things you should know about flexible filaments and Nylon
Ok, let’s talk about Nylons, or Polyamides and flexible 3D printing materials. They’ve been around for a while, but I still think they are a super interesting – even if I wouldn’t print everything with them.
Things you should know about PETG
The do-it-all 3D printing filament: PETG! Learn what the differences are between Copolyester and PET and how to best print the materials.
Things you should know about ABS
Next up in this series, ABS! Ok, let’s start out with probably the most important bit about ABS: There’s not just one ABS, there are dozens of different versions that are all ABS-based or even just ABS-like. Let’s actually start with just ABS itself, which already isn’t just one thing. It’s acrylonitrile butadiene styrene,
Things you should know about PLA
PLA! Everyone knows it, everyone loves it, right? Kinda? Talking to filament manufacturers, it’s obvious that PLA is the number one most-used filament by quite a margin. For many people, it’s the only material they’ll ever print – and that’s ok! Let’s talk about the best practices when printing PLA, how you can use and process the parts and what choices you have when buying it!
Things you should know about your filaments
Filament misconceptions, filament basics knowledge, call this one whatever you want (as long as you don’t call it a vlog)! But this video is jam-packed with info on how to pick a filament and what you should be looking for!
The toughest filament: Taulman PCTPE review! #Filaween
Taulman are known for making specialty filaments – this is PCTPE, their insanely strong Nylon!
How “advanced” of a PLA is the Algix APLA really? #Filaween2
Algix claim improved, well, everything over standard PLA with their Advanced PLA filament – but does it hold up in the tough Filaween 2 tests?
