Prusament PETG Neon Green Transparent 1kg

PETG is a very tough material with good heat resistance. PETG has universal use, but it is especially suitable for printing mechanical parts. It can be used both indoors and outdoors. PETG has very little thermal expansion, so it does not warp on the print sheet, and therefore there is no problem printing large models. The parts for our printers are printed from PETG!

PETG is one of our favorite materials for 3D printing. Printing with it is almost as easy as with PLA, but unlike PLA, it can offer many better mechanical properties. The letter G in the abbreviation PETG stands for glycol, which is added during the manufacturing process. Glycol modifies the properties of PET to make it less brittle, easier to print, and more transparent when printing with semi-transparent variants. PETG has low thermal expansion, so even when printing large models it rarely warps and detaches from the heated print sheet. In addition, PETG is tough and just flexible enough, and thanks to this it often only temporarily bends under stress, which prevents cracking.

Unlike PLA or ABS, PETG tends to string a bit, that is, to pull thin strands of plastic during travel moves. You can combat this by increasing retraction and lowering the temperature, but if you use our preset profiles in PrusaSlicer, we have already done this for you and the level of stringing should be minimal. If you still encounter it, you can get rid of it by quickly running a heat gun over the finished prints for a few seconds.

If you deal with stringing and oozing and the strong filament adhesion, you will get very durable prints. Thanks to decent heat resistance, PETG prints are also suitable for outdoor use.
