Quality PETG filament for 3D printers

What is PETG filament?

PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) filament is a versatile and durable thermoplastic that has become a popular choice for 3D printing due to its excellent properties. It is an amorphous material, meaning it lacks a defined crystalline structure, giving it excellent flexibility and impact resistance. It is characterized by:

PETG filament applications:

• Functional parts:PETG is ideal for printing functional parts that require mechanical and temperature resistance, such as electronics housings, tools, drone parts, etc.
• Prototyping:PETG can be used to create rapid and economical prototypes of parts and designs that need to be durable.
• Printing everyday objects:It can be used to print a wide range of everyday objects such as glasses, plates, toys, etc.
• Industrial applications:PETG is used in various industrial applications, such as the manufacture of prosthetics, molds, and automotive parts.

Advantages of PETG filament

• Mechanical resistance:PETG is a strong and durable material with high tensile and flexural strength.
• Temperature resistance:PETG has a high printing temperature and can withstand temperatures up to 80°C without warping.
• Chemical resistance:PETG is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including water, oils, and acids.
• Easy to use:PETG prints easily on most FDM 3D printers and does not require a heated bed.
• Good adhesion between layers:PETG has good interlayer adhesion, producing high-quality prints.
• Transparent:PETG is available in a variety of colors, including clear, making it ideal for printing objects that need to be transparent.

Printing recommendations for PETG filament

• Uses a 0.4mm or 0.6mm nozzle.
• Prints at a speed of 40-80 mm/s.
• Adjust the printing temperature between 220-250 °C.
• Heated bed at a temperature of 60-80 °C to improve adhesion.
• Uses a 4-6mm retraction setting.
• Make sure the filament is dry before printing.
• Print in an enclosed area to avoid drafts.
