When should you choose PETG?

When toughness and impact resistance matter.

  • Brackets and holders for the workshop, home or equipment.
  • Enclosures and protective covers for components.
  • Functional prototypes for checking assembly and use.

When should you consider another material?

Ask yourself three questions before choosing:

  • What loads will the part carry? Consider layer orientation and part geometry as well.
  • Where will the part be used? Check the temperatures and duration of exposure.
  • What will it come into contact with? Check chemical resistance to the specific substance.

PETG outdoors.

Our internal tests and users' experience show that parts made from our PETG filament can perform well outdoors for 5 years or more. Durability depends on the conditions of use, colour and load on the part.

Allow for solar heating and mechanical loads when designing your part. Dark parts, particularly black ones, can become very hot; prolonged exposure combined with higher loads may cause deformation.

Choose your
filament colour.

 

Classic colours, translucent options and vibrant neon shades. Explore the samples below, then select the available colours and pack sizes at the top of the page.

Technical properties of PETGTechnical properties of PETG

Data for comparison.

Reference properties of the base material from the technical data sheet. The properties of a printed part also depend on its geometry, orientation and print settings.

Property Value Reference standard
Heat deflection temperature (HDT), 0.45 MPa 69.7 °C ISO 75-2
Tensile strength 53.58 MPa ISO 527
Flexural strength 80.02 MPa ISO 178
Flexural modulus 2282.82 MPa ISO 178
Notched Izod impact strength, 23 °C 7.9 kJ/m² ISO 180
Flammability at 3.2 mm thickness V-2 UL 94

HDT is not a continuous service temperature rating. The UL 94 classification applies to the base material at a thickness of 3.2 mm, not to every 3D printed part.

Before your first printBefore your first print

Check the basics first.

1
Choose the right profile

Select PETG, the correct nozzle size and the build plate type in your slicer.

2
Prepare the surface

Follow the build plate manufacturer's instructions for cleaning, applying a coating and removing the print.

3
Print a test piece

Before a longer print, check the first layer and fit with a small sample.

4
Need more adhesion?

For more demanding models or a small contact area, you can use 3DLAC to improve bed adhesion. Follow the 3DLAC instructions and your build plate manufacturer's recommendations.

Storing and drying PETG

If the filament has been out of its sealed packaging for an extended period, we recommend drying it at 60 °C for 2–4 hours. Filament from freshly opened, correctly stored vacuum packaging usually does not need drying beforehand. After use, store it in sealed packaging with desiccant at 0–40 °C.

Frequently asked questions about PETG

What can I make with PETG filament?What can I make with PETG filament?

PETG is suitable for brackets, holders, enclosures, protective covers and functional prototypes. Consider the load, part geometry and layer orientation when designing your part.

Close
Is PETG filament suitable for outdoor use and exposure to sunlight?Is PETG filament suitable for outdoor use and exposure to sunlight?

Yes. Our internal tests and users' experience show successful outdoor use of parts made from our PETG filament for 5 years or more. Durability depends on the conditions of use, colour and load. Prolonged exposure to sunlight combined with higher loads can cause deformation, particularly in dark or black parts.

Are 1 kg PETG spools compatible with AMS and CFS systems?Are 1 kg PETG spools compatible with AMS and CFS systems?

Yes. Our 1 kg PETG spools are suitable for all multi-material printing systems, including AMS and CFS.

Which diameters is PETG filament available in?Which diameters is PETG filament available in?

PETG filament is available in 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm diameters with a tolerance of ± 0.03 mm. Choose the diameter that matches your printer.

Close
What does an HDT of 69.7 °C mean for PETG filament?What does an HDT of 69.7 °C mean for PETG filament?

HDT is the temperature at which a specimen deflects under a specified load. The value of 69.7 °C is a reference property of the base material, not a continuous service temperature rating for every printed part.

Close
Is PETG filament UV resistant?Is PETG filament UV resistant?

PETG is not rated as a UV-resistant material and is not suitable for high temperatures or heavy mechanical loads. Nevertheless, our internal testing and customers' experience show that it performs well in various outdoor applications, including marine uses and accessories for video surveillance and telecommunications, such as antenna and camera mounts.
