Winkle’s Black Friday 2025 is the perfect chance to restock your 3D filaments, but… which one should you pick? PLA, PETG and ABS are the most popular, but they are not all good for the same things. In this guide we explain the differences, the benefits and which one best suits your printer and your projects, with direct links to our Black Friday deals at Winkle.
What should you consider before buying filament?
Before taking advantage of any discount, think about these key points:
- Type of 3D printer (enclosed or open frame).
- Printing temperature (hotend and heated bed).
- Your level of experience.
- Purpose of the object (functional, decorative, prototyping).
- Finish and post-processing.
- Available budget.
Weighing up these factors will help you make a smarter decision during Winkle’s November Black Friday.
