PLA filament is super popular for 3D printing because it’s easy to use, eco-friendly, and affordable. Here’s why so many people prefer it:

• Beginner-Friendly – It has a low printing temperature and doesn’t require a heated bed, making it great for newcomers.
• Environmentally Friendly – It’s made from renewable sources like corn starch or sugarcane, so it’s biodegradable unlike some other plastics.
• Less Warping – Compared to other materials like ABS, PLA prints with minimal distortion, meaning more reliable prints.
• Wide Color Options – Comes in tons of colors, including cool specialty variations like silk, wood-filled, and glow-in-the-dark.
• Safe & Non-Toxic – It doesn’t give off harmful fumes, so it’s safer for home printing.

It does have some downsides—it’s not heat-resistant and can be brittle compared to tougher filaments. But for most general 3D printing needs, it’s a solid go-to!
