Your Ultimate 3D Printing Filament Wiki
Welcome to Filament-Companion, the most comprehensive resource for 3D printing filaments in the English-speaking world!
Our Story
Discover Our Journey So Far
The world of 3D printing is fascinating, but it can also be complex – especially when it comes to the seemingly endless variety of filaments. Which material is best suited for your project? What are the precise differences between the countless variants of PA, PEI, or PETG? And what are the optimal print settings to get the best out of each filament?
These very questions constantly preoccupied me as a passionate 3D printing enthusiast. I spent countless hours searching, comparing, and testing information – often scattered across different websites and rarely truly complete. It was this personal quest for knowledge, combined with the frustrating realization that no single, comprehensive, and easily accessible platform for all filament types existed, that sparked the idea for Filament-Companion.
My goal is to bridge this gap. Here, you’ll find detailed information on every imaginable FDM filament, clearly organized and easy to understand. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced professional, dive into the world of polymers and discover the perfect material for your next innovation.

Explore the range of Filaments we explain in Detail.
PLA (Polylactide)
An easy-to-print, biodegradable plastic with low warping. Perfect for beginners and decorative prints, though less durable and heat-resistant than other options.
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
A strong, tough, and heat-resistant material widely used for functional parts. Prone to warping and requires a heated bed and good ventilation.
PA (Polyamide) / Nylon
A family of strong, tough, and abrasion-resistant engineering plastics. Known for good chemical resistance and excellent layer adhesion, but highly hygroscopic.
BVOH (Butenediol Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer)
A water-soluble support material, often preferred over PVA for its improved printability, better adhesion to a wider range of build materials, and lower moisture sensitivity.
PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone)
An ultra-high-performance polymer with outstanding mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and thermal stability (continuous use >250°C). Requires specialized industrial-grade printers.
PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide)
A high-performance polymer with extreme temperature resistance, exceptional chemical resistance (insoluble in most solvents), and inherent flame retardancy. Requires high-temp printers.
