The eSun PETG 3D Filament combines the benefits of ABS and PLA filaments. It is an easy-to-print material with high toughness and heat resistance. PETG filament also offers good layer adhesion and a little bit of flexibility. PET-G (Polyethylene terephthalateglycol-modified) is a very strong, water-resistant thermoplastic, with a beautiful shiny result. PET is a well-known plastic, as it's mostly used in the production of soda bottles.
In recent years, this material has become a very popular material for 3D printing as it combines great properties of both ABS and PLA. Printing with PETG is almost as easy as PLA and requires a little more effort. The layer adhesion is great, making the end result very strong and bendable instead of breakable as opposed to PLA. PETG doesn't adhere very well to other materials, as glue doesn't have much grip on the material.
Another great property of PETG is that the neutral pallets are almost glass-like transparent, giving us the opportunity to deliver awesome translucent colors. PET-G can be printed with or without a heated bed with little to no warping, using 3DLAC. We recommend using a 65 degrees heated bed; however, as the print will come loose automatically when cooling down.
For extrusion temperature, 245 is the optimum temperature, as a lower temperature will result in more stringiness and worse adhesion. During printing, no distinguishable smell should be noticed; however, we do recommend printing in a well-ventilated area.
Suggested Print Parameters:
- Print temperature: 220-260°C
- Bed heat (optional): 80-90°C
- Print speed: 30-60mm/s
- Head movement speed: 30-60mm/s
PETG is a fantastic material that has the advantages of both PLA and ABS: strong & impact-resistant, more flexible than PLA, glossy, low shrinkage, smooth flow, and odorless.
