What is PLA and why does every 3D printer love it?
PLA or Polylactic acid is the most commonly used plastic by 3D printers. This is because it is very easy to use and does not require a fancy filament dryer. It is also readily available and it is one of the lowest toxicity level plastics available.
It's main draw backs is it's low temperature resistance and being one of the lower strength materials.
