How strong are the PLA parts that come out of these printers? I.e. how do they compare to molded ABS or PVC?

- iamwil 14y agoIt depends on what you mean by strong. A lot of times, the strength depends as much as the structure that you're printing as it is the material. Most of these objects are printed hollow. Generally, PLA is stronger against stress, but breaks quickly, whereas ABS is less strong against stress, but bends before breaking.
