What is PETG filament?
PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) filament is a versatile and strong thermoplastic that has become a popular choice for 3D printing due to its excellent properties. It is an amorphous material, meaning it does not have a defined crystalline structure, which gives it good flexibility and impact resistance. It is characterized by being:
PETG filament applications:
- Functional parts: PETG is ideal for printing functional parts that require mechanical and temperature resistance, such as electronics casings, tools, drone parts, etc.
- Prototyping: PETG can be used to create quick and inexpensive prototypes of parts and designs that need to be strong.
- Printing everyday objects: Can be used to print a wide range of everyday objects, such as glasses, dishes, toys, etc.
- Industrial applications: PETG is used in various industrial applications, such as the manufacture of prostheses, molds and parts for automotive.

Advantages of PETG filament
- Mechanical resistance: PETG is a strong and resistant material with high tensile and bending resistance.
- Temperature resistance: PETG has a high printing temperature and can withstand temperatures up to 80 °C without deformation .
- Chemical resistance: PETG is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, such as water , oils and acids.
- Easy to use: PETG is easily printed on most FDM 3D printers and does not require a heated bed.< /span>
- Good interlayer adhesion: PETG has good interlayer adhesion, which produces high quality prints.
- Transparent: PETG is available in a variety of colors, including transparent, span> which makes it ideal for printing objects that need to be transparent.
Printing recommendations for PETG filament
- Use a 0.4mm or 0.6mm nozzle.
- Prints at a speed of 40-80 mm/s.
- Set the printing temperature between 220-250°C.
- Heated bed at a temperature of 60-80 °C to improve adhesion.
- Use a 4-6mm retraction setting.
- Make sure the filament is dry before printing.
- Print in a closed room to avoid drafts.
