PLA is the common one used, easy to work with.
ABS is better than PLA, stronger but not good from a "breathing" point of view, need to use in well ventilated area
TPU is flexible..you can make "rubbery" things from it, I've made drive belts before using it.
Wood variants have small amounts of wood mixed in with the PLA that when cured looks someone woody and has a similar texture, though it's still primarily plastic, I've printed a few things with it to replace/repair woody stuff and it's worked out great.
The process is slow regardless, a relatively small item can take 10hrs or more, Prices generally are pretty reasonable, you can look on ebay for a guide, $20 or there about is common for small items.
There are places that do professionally printed jobs for more money but the quality is also better…PCBway do customer 3d printing (and custom CnC too).
It's not really practical for your average 3D printer guy to print stuff for $$ unless it's a specific part many need such as the following…doing 1 off custom jobs is a pain in the ass…the example below you can print a bunch off and then sell on ebay etc.

You can then sand and paint them as desired.
I didn't know it was that slow. But I could still think of some things they could do. Thanks for the info though. -

2023-07-11 at 4:03 PM UTCI guess printing Asian ones would be pretty profitable..what with the dildos only needing to be 2 inches or so.
