Benefits

• It barely warps and produces no odours or fumes when printed• Non-biodegradable, but it is 100% reclaimable• PETG is known for its clarity and is also very good at bridging• PETG's strength is much higher than PLA• Food safe material• PETG filament is hydrophobic and therefore does not absorb water

Applications

PETG is a great material for high impact mechanical parts that may be subjected to moderate heat loads. This material is more wear and impact resistant than ABS while still being very cost-effective for production printing applications.

Storage

Cool and dry (15-25ﾟC) and away from UV light. This enhances the shelf life significantly.

Note

At the end of the print, make sure to correctly store the filament back in the resealable bag. It is recommended to clean the nozzle when you change the material to prevent a partial clog. When the print begins make sure the first layer is correctly laid down and sticking well to the bed before leaving the printer to finish the print.
