Now and then you have those projects where you think: this really needs to become a good and strong construction. In that case there are various options. Do I go for ABS? Regularly the answer is: preferably not, unless there really is no other way. It demands a lot of preparation, an enclosure, and there has to be good ventilation. Certainly now that an incredibly strong version of PLA is available, I have been making my choice more and more quickly. I then go for Fiberlogy Impact PLA.

Fiberlogy Impact PLA: incredibly strong and yet easy to print and very accurate

Parts printed with Fiberlogy Impact PLA offer properties that are comparable to or better than those of ABS. While the ease of printing of Fiberlogy Easy PLA filament is retained. Thanks to its high impact strength, this technical filament is highly resistant to breaking or cracking and it copes well with high temperatures. These properties make Fiberlogy Impact PLA ideal for producing demanding prints under extreme conditions with very high accuracy and in great detail. Fiberlogy is a proven filament for printing functional prototypes and tooling
