PET-G Blue

Devil Design PET-G, blue, 1.75mm, 1kg

Polyethylene terephthalate, also known as “Polyester”, is a very ubiquitous polymer used in everything from textiles, bottling, to thermo-resistant space blankets and sails. PETG typically comes in clear, although some brands offer glossy colored versions. It has high mechanical strength, is more temperature resistant, and is very recyclable.

PETG is known to be an exceptionally strong material and this makes it ideal for those objects that will be subjected to mechanical stress. It is hard, flexible and resistant, much of which can be put down to the way it adheres to each layer. The filament offers the same level of functionality as ABS, which is temperature resistance and strength, but it also has the same level of reliability as PLA. As a result 3D printing with PETG is relatively easy.

There is no odor with PETG and this is one of the characteristics that makes it ideal for domestic use. 3D printing with PETG has a low level of shrinkage. It ensures that the original measurements remain the same, making it perfect for large 3D prints.
