Comparison of 3d print filament materials

PLA

biodegradable, lower temperature, less toxic. specific brands vary considerably (~10%?)

ABS

more toxic, stronger? needs heated bed

• instructables link looking at 3d print toxicity

Resin: white

brittle, not as strong, needs UV curing (in water) after print
