RS PRO 2.85 mm Translucent Yellow PET-G 3D Printer Filament, 500 g

RS PRO 3D Printer Filament PETG

This (Polyethylene terephthalate Glycol‐Modified) PETG filament from our high-quality own brand RS PRO is a perfect addition to your filament assortment. PETG filament is very strong and versatile with great thermal resistance. PETG combines the ease of use of PLA filament with the strength and durability of ABS filament.

Benefits

• It barely warps and produces no odours or fumes when printed
• Non-biodegradable, but it is 100% reclaimable
• PETG is known for its clarity and is also very good at bridging
• PETG's strength is much higher than PLA
• Food safe material
• PETG filament is hydrophobic and therefore does not absorb water

Features

• Higher melting temperature for better mechanical strength
• Free from harmful or hazardous materials
• Low shrinkage rate
• High rigidity combined with good flex
• Produces objects with higher toughness
• Needs printing head - recommended temperature for the heated bed is ± 35-60 °C
• Parts can withstand temperatures of up to 80 °C without losing strength
• Easy to glue with acetone
• PETG filament can be used on all common desktop FDM or FFF technology 3D printers

Applications

PETG is a great material for high impact mechanical parts that may be subjected to moderate heat loads. This material is more wear and impact resistant than ABS while still being very cost-effective for production printing applications.

Storage

Cool and dry (15-25ﾟC) and away from UV light. This enhances the shelf life significantly.

Note

• At the end of the print, make sure to correctly store the filament back in the resealable bag. It is recommended to clean the nozzle when you change the material to prevent a partial clog.
• When the print begins make sure the first layer is correctly laid down and sticking well to the bed before leaving the printer to finish the print.
