Filamentree PETG 2nd Class

Filamentree PETG 2nd Class – cost-effective 2nd class PETG filament

Filamentree PETG 2nd Class is a price-advantaged PETG filament of 2nd class suitable for everyday 3D printing of functional parts and visual models. 2nd class means that the filament may have cosmetic imperfections (e.g., minor color deviations, different batch shade, less representative spool winding), but it is fully usable for printing.

PETG is a modern material that combines the strength and toughness of ABS with easier printing close to PLA. It is ideal for users who need more durable prints – for example, for use in the workshop, home, prototyping, or for mechanically stressed components.

Note: The specific color shade or visual appearance of the spool may vary from piece to piece. However, all spools are fully functional and suitable for normal use.

Features and benefits of PETG Filamentree 2nd Class

• Fully functional PETG filament – 2nd class only in terms of appearance, not function
• Higher toughness and durability than PLA, suitable for functional parts and mechanically stressed components
• Better temperature resistance than PLA – suitable for parts exposed to moderate heating (e.g., in a car, near electronics)
• Relatively easy printing compared to ABS – less tendency to warp, without the need for a fully enclosed chamber
• Suitable for most common FDM 3D printers (diameter 1,75 mm)
• Ideal for prototypes, holders, covers, jigs, home and workshop parts

Recommended printing parameters (general for PETG)

Specific settings may vary slightly depending on the printer and color, the following values serve as a starting point:

• Nozzle temperature: approx. 230–250 °C
• Bed temperature: approx. 70–85 °C
• Print speed: 40–60 mm/s
• Fan: rather lower speeds (0–50 %) for better layer adhesion
• Print surface: PEI, glass with spray/glue or textured/satin print sheet suitable for PETG

Before a long print, we recommend keeping the filament dry, ideally in a sealable box with desiccant, to minimize moisture absorption.

Typical use

PETG Filamentree 2nd Class is suitable for example for:

• Functional parts in the household (holders, hooks, organizers, mounting elements)
• Workshop and technical components (jigs, covers, sensor holders, cable clips)
• Prototypes of products and construction assemblies
• Housings and electronics parts (with allowance for thermal load)
• Final parts where function is more important than perfect surface appearance

Limitations and notes

• This is 2nd class – do not expect a representative spool appearance, the product is intended for users who prefer lower price and functionality over appearance.
• PETG can have a tendency for stringing – we recommend fine-tuning retraction and nozzle temperature.
• To ensure good adhesion and simultaneously easy removal of the print from the bed, we recommend using a suitable release agent (glue, spray) for smooth print surfaces.

Summary

Filamentree PETG 2nd Class is a great choice for everyone looking for affordable PETG for everyday printing, who does not mind minor visual imperfections but requires reliable, strong, and durable material. Ideal for hobby and technical use, workshops, makerspaces, and small series production where functionality and printing economy are key.
