	At Knox Makers we try to support ABS, PLA, and PETG with our printers. You can find rolls of each hanging in our filament station in the 3D printing zone (free for all members to use). If you are curious to learn more about the properties of various filaments, there are several external sites that give much more detail such as [https://www.simplify3d.com/resources/materials-guide/properties-table/ simplify3d.com] and [https://help.prusa3d.com/materials prusa3d.com].
