About PETG
The practical step up from PLA: tougher, more temperature- and chemical-resistant, and still printable without an enclosure. The catch is stringing and oozing — PETG likes a hotter nozzle, slower travel, and careful retraction. Mild moisture sensitivity. A common all-round choice for functional parts.
- Functional/mechanical parts
- Outdoor parts (better UV/weather than PLA)
- Food-adjacent and watertight prints
- Brackets, fixtures, enclosures
- Fine detail at high speed (stringing)
- Tight bridging without tuned cooling
