    ]]>     The most suitable materials are thermoplastics like:

    • ABS (durable, impact-resistant).
    • HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene; cost-effective for prototypes).
    • PETG (transparent, food-safe).
    • PVC (flexible, chemical-resistant).
      ABS is widely preferred for its balance of strength and ease of forming.
