- - - - 3D Drawing Software
        
        AutoCAD: Used for 2D & 3D drawings
        
        Easy software for beginners
        
        Fusion 360: makes 3D models and assemblies
        
        Onshape: works online
        
        I learned how to make 3D shapes and move them around on screen.
- - - - PLA(Polylactic Acid)
        
        ABS
        
        Print Temp: 210–240°C
        
        Bed Temp: 80°C+
        
        Glass Transition: 105°C
        
        Fumes: Mild odor
        
        Performance: Can print fast, resists stringiness, but shrinks → warping
        
        Strength: Strong, flexible
        
        Best For: Durable parts, high temp environments
        
        Not For: Non-heated bed, cool/drafty areas, long prints
        
        Print Temp: 190–215°C
        
        Bed Temp: 40–60°C
        
        Glass Transition: 60°C
        
        Fumes: Mild, sweet aroma
        
        Performance: Sticky, little shrinkage, easy to print
        
        Strength: Strong but brittle
        
        Best For: Biodegradable items, gifts, prototypes
        
        Not For: High temp parts, parts dropped often
      - PETG
        
        Print Temp: 230–260°C
        
        Bed Temp: 70–100°C
        
        Glass Transition: 88°C
        
        Fumes: None
        
        Performance: good layer adhesion, low warping, impact resistant
        
        Strength: Strong, durable, temperature-resistant
        
        Best For: Objects dropped often, stable dimensions
        
        Not For: No heated bed, high temp parts
      - TPU
        
        Print Temp: 220–245°C
        
        Bed Temp: 40–60°C
        
        Fumes: Light/no smell
        
        Performance: Flexible, shiny finish, layer adhesion good
        
        Strength: Resistant to oils, solvents, oxidation
        
        Best For: Flexible objects (phone cases, springs, bumpers)
        
        Not For: Rigid parts, printers not set for flexible material
      - PLA/PHA
        
        Print Temp: 190–230°C
        
        Bed Temp: 60–90°C
        
        Glass Transition: 50–60°C
        
        Fumes: Mild, sweet
        
        Performance: Stable, low warping, good adhesion
        
        Strength: Durable, somewhat flexible
        
        Best For: Droppable objects
        
        Not For: No heated bed, high temp parts
      - PVA
