Entry Plastics
★ PLA
Most available and used 3d printer plastic. Derived from corn starch or sugar cane, is made from biomass rather than petroleum. 
PETG
2nd most common 3d printer plastic. Commonly used in manufacturing and is very similar to plastic water bottles. Higher heat resistance than PLA and is safe for outdoors. 
Intermediate
TPU
TPU is a flexible material that ranges in softness. Great for phone cases and simple gaskets.
ASA
ASA is probably the most versatile material of the lot. Wonderful UV and heat resistance, so it is great for outdoor applications. Can be sanded as well
Engineering Grade
Nylon
Nylon has become a great material to 3D print with. Has a very high melting point, high impact resistance, somewhat flexible, and is very resistant to wear. Great applications of nylon include gears, wheels, and car parts. Typically has carbon fibers added to make ease of printing better.
PC (polycarbonate)
PC is know for resistances to shock, heat, and scratches. High tensile strength and great for hinges, pulley bearings, electrical applications, and medical devices. Is translucent as well! Can be filled with glass, carbon fibers, ABS, and other fillers.
