PLA with toughening additives. Less brittle and a bit stronger, still easy to print.
Nozzle 205-225 °CBed 55-65 °C
Which filament for…
Phone or tablet stand
A desk stand that gets bumped, plugged into, and carried around.
Best pick
- A stand takes small knocks and constant handling, so a toughened PLA is the sweet spot: stiff enough to hold the device, less likely to snap at the thin back support than plain PLA.
- Plain PLA works fine if it lives on a desk.
- Choose PETG if it will get warm, such as on a car dashboard.
- Skip silk: its weak layers crack at the hinge point.
Also works
Standard PLA. Cheap, easy, and the right answer for most decorative and low-stress prints.
Nozzle 200-220 °CBed 55-60 °C
The tougher everyday choice. More heat- and impact-tolerant than PLA, and decent outdoors in the shade.
Nozzle 230-250 °CBed 70-85 °C
