PETG Filament: The versatile all-rounder for your 3D printing

Discover in this category our high-quality PETG filament, which has established itself as a true all-rounder in 3D printing. It combines the easy printability of PLA with the robustness and heat resistance of ABS. Whether you want to print functional parts, robust prototypes, or demanding artworks – PETG filament offers you the necessary flexibility and reliability.

Why PETG filament is the right choice for your projects

PETG filament is the ideal choice for 3D printer users who want to implement more than just standard applications. The "G" in PETG stands for glycol-modified, which gives the material improved properties. It is less brittle than PLA and easier to print than ABS, thereby creating a perfect balance for demanding projects.

Your advantages at a glance:

• High impact resistance: PETG is extremely resistant to shocks and breaks. This results in durable and robust prints that also withstand mechanical stresses.

• Excellent layer adhesion: The individual layers bond excellently, which leads to high part strength and minimizes printing errors.

• Good temperature resistance: Compared to PLA, PETG filament withstands significantly higher temperatures. Therefore it is perfect for parts exposed to heat.

• Chemical resistance: This material is resistant to many chemicals such as oils, fats, and alcohols. Consequently it is ideal for functional parts.

• Weather resistance: PETG is partially UV-resistant and water-resistant, which makes it suitable for outdoor applications or in humid environments.

• Minimized warping: Unlike ABS, PETG filament hardly warps during printing. This leads to more reliable and dimensionally accurate results, even with larger objects.

• Low odor formation: Printing with PETG is almost odorless, thus it is also suitable for less well-ventilated environments.

• Versatile applications: From mechanically stressed parts to containers to decorative objects – PETG filament offers limitless possibilities.

Application areas for PETG filament: Unleash your creativity

Thanks to its unique properties, PETG filament is versatile. Here are some examples where it fully plays to its strengths:

• Functional prototypes: For parts that must withstand stresses.

• Mechanical components: Gears, mounts, or housing parts.

• Outdoor applications: Parts for garden, balcony, or drones exposed to weather.

• Food contact (limited): Possible for certain applications after appropriate post-processing.

• Decorative objects: For prints with a glossy surface.

• Transparent parts: Ideal for light guides, windows, or containers when you choose transparent PETG.

Tips for optimal printing with PETG filament

To achieve the best results with your PETG filament, observe the following tips:

• Printing temperature: Usually recommended 230-250 °C (nozzle temperature).

• Heated bed: A heated bed temperature of 70-90 °C is ideal for optimal adhesion.

• Adhesive agents: With strong adhesion, a layer of release agent (e.g., Magigoo or Blue Tape) can help protect the print bed.

• Dry storage: PETG is hygroscopic. Store it airtight with desiccant to ensure the best printing results. A filament dryer can work wonders with moist filament.

• Retraction settings: With PETG, slight stringing can occur. Optimized retraction settings in the slicer help minimize this.
