I use and am super happy with [Hatchbox Black PLA](https://amzn.to/3YUrVTF) for printing tiles and bases. Black and White both work, though with black, you will need to be careful that your primer fully coverd it which is harder to see, because the filament is glossy. Turns out, glossy shadows don't look good. For printing clips, do yourself a favor, print your clips in PETG. PLA is rigid and brittle, which means the clips can't flex much without breaking. PETG has much more flex and is also stronger, so perfect for clips. So should you print bases in PETG as well? No. PETG is harder to glue and harder to paint. Keep the clips PETG and that will give you enough flex. I use [Overture PETG](https://amzn.to/3Tpt7wX).
#### Resin
I generally don't print tiles in resin, but I print a lot of accessories in it. Resin is really not great for the clip bays as it tends to have more problems with dimensional accuracy (all resin shrinks as it cures), but also it tends to be brittle. I pretty much universally use Elegoo resin. It comes in [normal](https://amzn.to/3LyGnh7) and [8k](https://amzn.to/42g0PJn). If you prefer water washable, they also have that in [normal](https://amzn.to/3yPBXul) and [8k](https://amzn.to/3z263LD).

Resin is really not great for the clip bays as it tends to have more problems with dimensional accuracy (all resin shrinks as it cures), but also it tends to be brittle. I pretty much universally use Elegoo resin and recommend grey. It comes in [normal](https://amzn.to/3JJXZoC) and [8k](https://amzn.to/42g0PJn). If you prefer water washable, they also have that in [normal](https://amzn.to/3yPBXul) and [8k](https://amzn.to/3z263LD). There are a ton of other options as well, but I have not frankly explored them much.
#### Primer
I use [Krylon Fusion](http://amzn.to/2C8XG0L) Black Camo paint. This stuff is amazing, SUPER flat, goes on in thin, even coats. Hell, I use it to prime my miniatures these days. I find it at my local Ace Hardware for about $5 a can. Tabletop Minions has a [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5Re9jTuWPk) covering all the reasons I love this paint. For wooden pieces I'll use the [Brown Camo Krylon Fusion](http://amzn.to/2Et5nEm)
