PETG is one of the most popular materials when it comes to rapid prototyping and printing cheap, yet functional mechanical components. This material offers fast and reliable printing with little warping and decent detail. Such parameters are valued among both beginners and professionals, as they make their work as easy as possible.

PETG is durable in thick layers and bendable in thin layers. It slightly bends and deforms upon impact instead of breaking. Compared to PLA, PETG offers better impact resistance, layer-to-layer adhesion, and high-temperature resistance. Such parameters are useful for making functional components of working machines.

The Prusament PETG has low shrinkage, which makes it possible to print large objects with little to no warping. This is especially useful for printing huge models glued from multiple parts.

Tips and Tricks:
- PETG is the best technical material to start with. PETG is almost as easy-to-print as PLA. It doesn't require extra surface preparations, storing in the drybox, or using special sheet and nozzle. The overall easy printability makes it suitable for beginners and advanced users alike.
- Before printing, make sure the print sheet is clean. To achieve the best adhesion, it is important to keep the surface clean. The best option is Isopropyl alcohol available in drugstores, which works the best for PETG and other materials as well. Pour a little amount on an unscented paper towel and wipe the print surface. The print sheet should be cleaned while cold for the best results.
- Use a glue stick when printing on a smooth PEI sheet. PETG has strong adhesion to the smooth PEI surface. Printing directly on it may damage the sheet.
- Drying may improve the print quality, especially when stored in wet conditions. PETG is less hygroscopic than most materials, so drying is not usually necessary. However, if you notice stringing, bubbling, or surface roughness, drying at 55 °C for 6 hours will usually resolve it.
- Use superglue for gluing large models. PETG can be glued with many types of glue. We recommend using superglue for most of the parts. Chemical bonding is usually difficult, as PETG is soluble in dangerous chemicals only.
