Filaments are available in 1.75 and 3 mm (2.85 mm) thickness. For most standard applications, 1.75 mm thick filament is used. However, if the objects are to be made a little stronger in general, it makes sense to use the 3 mm thick material. The advantages of the 1.75 mm filament are also due to the fact that this material requires less driving force, a higher printing speed is possible due to the lower material usage, and less friction losses occur due to the smaller surface area. For very fine prints, it is also possible to use smaller nozzle sizes. With the 3 mm thick printing material, tolerance deviations are not as noticeable as with the 1.75 mm thick material.
