I’ve seen this posted a couple places here (@koz was probably the first I saw) but it’s interesting data on the wear characteristics of 3D printed materials.

It’s worth a watch, but here are my highlights:
TPU is the big winner, definitely a material I need to spend some more time with…
PETG puts up a very robust fight though, especially considering how much easier it is to print than a PC or Nylon.
Big wearing test, which filament type is the most wear resistant?
Let's find out, which filament type is the most wear resistant (in friction with the metal). Tested material types: PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, PC (PolyCarbonate), ...YouTube

in reply to amd • • •I think I first saw it from 3D Printing Professor, but ]printing TPU with 100% or better 80% infill with many walls and top and bottom layers, to print rigid objects with it. The impact resistance and compression strength is quite insane as well.
