eSun PETG 3D Printing Filament1.75mm 1kg- All colors

Over the years 3D printing has evolved excellently and this technique plays a major role in different industries such as manufacturing, medicine, art, design etc., 3D printing filaments are thermoplastic raw materials used for filament freeform fabrication. The kind of filament used impacts the process of 3D printing. A good filament is the one which has a higher consistency of diameter and which is evenly wound on the spool with an accurate tension without getting tangled when unwound.

PETG 3D printing filament features:

PET-G (Polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified) is a very strong, water-resistant thermoplastic, with the beautiful shiny result. PET is a well-known plastic, as it’s mostly used in the production of soda bottles. In recent years this material has become a very popular material for 3D printing as it combines a number of great properties of both ABS and PLA.

Printing with PETG 3D printing filament is almost as easy as PLA and requires a little more effort. As the bonding with itself is very strong, the first layer should be squished as much as PLA, as the material may blob around the nozzle ruining your print. The layer adhesion is great, making the end result very strong, and bendable instead of breakable as opposed to PLA. PETG doesn’t adhere very well to other materials, as glue doesn’t have much grip on the material. Another great property of PETG is that the neutral pallets are almost glass-like transparent, giving us the opportunity to deliver awesome translucent colors.

PET-G can be printed with or without heated bed with little to no warping, using 3DLAC, we recommend using a 65 degrees heated bed however, as the print will come loose automatically when cooling down. For extrusion temperature 245 is the optimum temperature, as the lower temperature will result in more stringiness and worse adhesion. During printing, no distinguishable smell should be noticed, however, we do recommend to print in a well-ventilated area.

Suggested Print parameters:

Print temperature 230-250°C

Base temperature: No Heat/（60-80）℃

Print speed 30-60mm/s

Head movement speed 30-60mm/s

PETG is a fantastic material that has the advantages of both PLA and ABS:

Strong & Impact resistant

More flexible than PLA

Glossy

Low shrinkage

Smooth flow

Odorless
