Prusament PETG Clear
About PETG
PETG is one of the most commonly used filaments. Its strength and durability make it an excellent choice for printing various mechanically-stressed parts, such as various holders, or clamps, for example. Due to its excellent layer-to-layer adhesion, PETG prints are ideal for indoor and outdoor waterproof applications. Furthermore, PETG is a tough material with good high-temperature resistance. The G in the acronym stands for a glycol-modified substance that is present during the manufacturing process. It modifies the properties of PET, so that it’s easier to print, less brittle, and clearer when printing with semi-transparent variants. PETG has a low thermal expansion, so even when printing big objects and without an enclosure, it rarely lifts from the bed and warps. In addition to that, PETG is tougher and less brittle than PLA. It has a healthy amount of flex which can prevent parts from breaking under pressure. We use PETG to print parts for our printers!
Printing Setup
Nozzle 250±10 °C
Heatbed 80±10 °C
Recommended Steel Sheet Textured / Satin
Basic Attributes
+Good high-temperature resistance
+Easy to print
+Low shrinking and warping
+High strength and durability
+Easier to sand than PLA )softer, less melting)
-Possibility of stringing
-Poor bridging characteristics
Beginners tips & tricks
Unlike PLA or ABS, PETG tends to ooze a bit and may leave strings of plastic on your print. We suggest drying the filament before printing. If stringing still occurs, you may further counter it by increasing retraction and playing with hotend temperature, but if you use the filament presets in Prusa Slicer, this has already been done for you and the amount of stringing should be minimal. Or, you can get rid of the strings by briefly blasting your finished prints with a heat gun.
Notes
This PETG was made in-house at Prusa Research.
This 1.75mm filament has a manufacturing tolerance of ± 0.02mm.
Before printing, make sure the surface of heatbed is clean as described in 3D Printing Handbook.
To dry the filament, please follow the instructions.
