PETG Characteristics:
- PET (the material used in water bottles), with the addition of Glycol;
- Adheres well between layers;
- Resistant to chemicals;
- Resistant to fresh and salt water;
- Lighter than PLA;
- BPA and styrene free;
- Excellent tenacity
- May be in contact with food;
- Ideal for parts that will be subjected to heat of up to 70ºC. For
example, equipment intended for inside the car on hot days, or that has
to be transported and left in the heat;
- The translucent filaments
allow light to pass through. For example, they are ideal for printing
light bulbs, with the “vase mode” option. In this last example, we
recommend printing with a 0.6mm nozzle for greater resistance.
Temperatures and printing suggestions:
- nozzle: 230º - 245º (240º)
- bed: 60º - 90º (70º)
- Fan: 30% - 50%
- 5 top layers
Printer maintenance:
After printing with PETG and if you will change the filament for
another one with lower temperatures, such as PLA, we suggest that you
preheat the printer to the PETG or ABS temperature and then insert the
filament.The objective is for the transition of materials to be made
within the extruder. This process prevents clogging in any transition of
filament types.

Note:
Please note that the spool may differ from the one shown in the image
due to our reel take-back campaign.If any of these models are not
compatible with your printer, please contact us to request the
appropriate spool model or the desired dimensions so that we can send
