PETG

A printer-friendly plastic that lands between PLA's ease of use and ABS's functional durability.

Example: printed PETG

What is it?

A printer-friendly plastic balancing PLA's ease of printing with ABS-like functional durability.

Key behavior

Low moisture absorption and good impact/warp resistance, with clear/translucent color options.

Why choose it

Mechanical prototypes needing more durability than PLA offers, printed more easily than ABS.

Applications

Fluid containers, protective shields, outdoor waterproof enclosures.

Printing notes

Generally easier to print reliably than ABS, without ABS's warping tendency.
