About PETG

PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol-modified) is the most popular all-around filament for functional parts. It combines the ease of printing of PLA with much better impact resistance, chemical resistance, and heat tolerance. PETG is semi-flexible, meaning it bends before it breaks, making it ideal for parts that need to withstand stress. It is FDA-approved for food contact in its raw form and is widely used for water bottles, food containers, and functional household items.

Dry filament before use: 65°C for 7 hours.
