Im looking to order a 3d printer in the next few days. I wanna make sure that I buy a 3d printer that I wont have to upgrade for some time. Was wondering if there is a standard size or standard filament type that most printers are using now a days. I understand that before ABS 3mm was pretty standard but fast forward to today and I read that its PLA 1.75. So i was wondering if you guys could help me. I just want to know whats the most commonly used type and size of filament for most printers today?


Can someone please give me a better idea of whats the most popular filament type and size by ranking these in order of most popular to least popular please.
PLA 1.75, PLA 3mm, ABS 1.75mm, ABS 3mm


Thank you for your help. I really wanna get into 3d printing but i have a habit of needing to know anything and everything before i go into something new. Thank you for your help greatly appreciated.
