Materials — PETG & ASA & PLA

Materials chosen for what they actually do.

Choose a material to compare

PETG

Tough, heat- & UV-tolerant

Our go-to for functional parts and outdoor use — it handles sun and heat better than PLA, which makes it our default pick for the Arizona climate. Strong and durable for everyday parts.

Recommended default

ASA

Sun-stable for outdoor parts

Handles UV and heat better than PETG, so it's the pick for parts that live outdoors year-round. The trade-off: ASA shrinks as it cools, so it's printed in an enclosed chamber and large flat parts can still warp or lift at the corners — designs with thick bases, rounded corners or a brim print best. Finish is matte, and it's not the pick for fine detail or for anything that's happier in PETG or PLA.

PLA

Crisp detail, clean surfaces

Best for display pieces, prototypes, and indoor parts where fine detail matters. Note: PLA softens in high heat — not the pick for anything that'll sit in direct sun or a hot, enclosed space.

Colors in stock today: PETG in 5 colors, ASA in black only and PLA in 5 colors. Not sure which material fits your part? Tell us what it's for and we'll point you the right way — before you pay. Our guidance helps you choose; it isn't a performance guarantee, and you decide what's right for your use — see our Terms.

What we make

What we make

Q Fabrication Labs prints functional parts on FDM machines. If your part fits our build volume of 325 × 320 × 325 mm (X × Y × Z) and comes as an STL or STEP file, there's a good chance we can print it. Here's the kind of work FDM is well suited to.

  • 01

    Brackets and mounts

    Brackets, adapters, and holders that position or attach one thing to another — like the under-desk laptop mount we print in PETG. Upload your model, pick a material, and get a price.

  • 02

    Fixtures and jigs

    Fixtures and jigs for the shop or bench — drill guides, alignment tools, assembly aids, gluing and soldering helpers. One-offs and small sets. PETG or ASA stand up to repeated handling better than PLA.

  • 03

    Enclosures and housings

    Enclosures and housings for electronics and small assemblies — boxes with mating lids, panel cutouts, cable pass-throughs. PETG for general use; ASA if it lives somewhere hot.

  • 04

    Replacement parts

    Replacement parts for things you can't buy anymore — knobs, clips, spacers, trays, handles. If you have a model, upload it. If you have the broken part but no model, contact us and we'll tell you whether we can help.

  • 05

    Prototypes and fit checks

    Early versions to hold, test, and iterate before you commit to a final design or a costlier process. PLA prints the finest detail for form-and-fit work; PETG or ASA when the prototype has to survive real conditions.

Capability transparency

Is FDM right for your part?

FDM parts are functional, with about ±0.5 mm (as printed) — well suited to the work above, but not a substitute for machined precision, and not the right process for safety-critical parts where a failure could cause harm.

Parts show visible layer lines.

If you're not sure FDM fits your application, ask us before you order.

How it works

From file to finished part in four steps.

  1. 01 — Upload

    Send your model

    Upload an STL or STEP file. STL files are sliced and priced automatically with our print settings; STEP files are quoted by hand.

  2. 02 — Quote

    See a price instantly

    Get an itemized quote in seconds. Dial finish and strength with plain-language sliders — the price updates as you go.

  3. 03 — Pay
