Product description
PETG material properties
PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol) is a popular 3D printing material that combines the advantages of PLA and ABS. Compared to PLA, it offers:
- Higher temperature resistance - prints do not deform even at temperatures around 70 °C
- Better mechanical properties - higher toughness and impact resistance
- Lower moisture absorption - also suitable for outdoor use
Compared to ABS, PETG is:
- Easier to print - less prone to shrinkage and warping
- Less demanding on the printing environment - does not require an enclosed build chamber
- Odor-free during printing
Benefits of Buddy3D PETG
Consistent quality
Buddy3D filaments are manufactured in the EU under the strict supervision of Prusa Research. Every spool undergoes thorough quality control to ensure a diameter accuracy of ±0.04 mm and consistent material properties.
Optimized for Prusa 3D printers
Although Buddy3D PETG is compatible with most FDM printers, it is specially optimized for hassle-free printing on Original Prusa 3D printers. You will find preset profiles in PrusaSlicer for the best results.
Wide range of applications
Thanks to its versatility, PETG is suitable for a wide range of applications:
- Functional prototypes
- Mechanical parts and gears
- Brackets and mounts
- Electronics enclosures
- Food containers (PETG is considered food-safe)
- Outdoor decorations and utility items
Tips for printing with PETG
- Recommended nozzle temperature: 230-250 °C
- Recommended bed temperature: 70-90 °C
- For better first-layer adhesion, apply glue stick or hairspray to the build plate
- Print at lower speeds (30-60 mm/s) for the best surface quality
- Use part cooling at 30-50% for sharp details and overhangs
- After printing, let the part cool to room temperature before removing it from the bed
With Buddy3D PETG Yellow you get a reliable and versatile material for your 3D printing projects. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced user, this filament will provide great results and the joy of 3D printing.
