Recently I designed a few 3D printed accessories for my car.
I knew that PLA won't be a good material due to the hot temperatures that are reached inside my car during summer.
But I decided to print them using PLA anyway (because I have quiet a few rolls) just to check that my designs were correct, and to see by myself how they will react during hot summer days.
Check out the result !

Rapid prototyping often means "trials and errors" because you usually don't end up with the exact part you need right at the first time.
It might depend on the design itself that isn't perfect and needs adjustments, or on some failures that might happen during the printing process (printer failures or material dependent failures) such as :
If like me you feel concerned about our planet and its pollution (and you should), you're probably keeping all your print failures somewhere, waiting for the emergence of a reliable recycling machine that could make new filament rolls out of your waste.
Or you could just use your imagination and artistic skills to produce unique 3D printing art...

I have never tried printing with PLA.
I know it warps less than ABS so it can be an interesting material, especially for big flat parts. I have some blue translucide PLA so I'm going to try with that...
