04 Why PETG

When PLA's not enough, but ABS is too much.

What makes it great.

PETG is the bridge plastic — it prints at modest temps without an enclosure, but shrugs off heat, moisture, and mild chemicals once it's solid. It's the go-to for parts that need to actually function, not just sit on a shelf. Slightly stringy if you push it, but tunable with a careful retraction profile.

  • Excellent layer adhesion — durable, near-isotropic strength
  • Resistant to water, oils, and most household chemicals
  • Higher heat tolerance than PLA — survives hot cars
  • Slight flex absorbs shock — less brittle than PLA

Best for, and not for.

PETG shines on functional prints — brackets, enclosures, outdoor signage, replacement parts, water-adjacent items, and anything that needs to keep working past the demo. For fine miniatures or tight-detail show pieces, PLA still wins on crispness.

  • Mechanical parts, brackets, jigs, and fixtures
  • Enclosures, water bottles, light outdoor use
  • Avoid: ultra-fine detail and sharp overhangs
  • Avoid: long-term direct UV — use ASA outdoors
