PETG Filament

PETG filament is the material for parts that have to work: it resists impacts, sunlight and heat up to about 85°C, and it does not need an enclosure. Our high speed PETG prints at up to 300 mm/s on capable printers, and you can buy it in packs of 3 to 16 spools in the colors you choose.

What PETG is used for

UseWhy this material works
Brackets, clips and mountsHigh impact resistance: it bends slightly instead of snapping
Outdoor fixtures and garden partsUV stable and shrugs off rain and humidity
Containers, bins and organizersTough walls that survive drops and daily handling
Parts in warm placesKeeps its shape up to about 85°C, well above PLA
Electronics enclosuresLow shrinkage keeps large flat panels flat, no enclosure needed
Light diffusers and lamp shadesTransparent colors pass light when printed with thin walls

PETG vs PLA: when to switch

PLA is easier to print, but it softens in a hot car and cracks under hits. PETG keeps its shape at higher temperatures, bends a little before it breaks and stands up to sun and water.

Use PETG for brackets, clips, containers, outdoor parts and anything that gets handled every day. Keep PLA for models, prototypes and decor.

High speed PETG for fast printers

This PETG has a melt flow made for fast machines and supports up to 300 mm/s on printers that can reach it. On a standard printer it runs at normal speeds with the same toughness.

Because it shrinks very little as it cools, large flat parts stay flat, and you can print it on an open printer without an enclosure.

What makes PETG tough

PETG comes from the same family of plastic as water bottles. The glycol added to it makes it easier to print, and it keeps what a bottle does well: it flexes instead of shattering, shrugs off moisture and does not sag on a warm day.

That is why it works for parts near electronics, inside a car in summer or outdoors, where plain PLA starts to soften around 60°C.

Getting clean PETG prints

PETG sticks very hard to smooth PEI beds, so many makers print it on a textured plate or use a thin layer of glue stick as a release agent. It also strings more than PLA when the spool has absorbed humidity.

A dry spool and tuned retraction solve most problems. Our spools arrive vacuum-sealed, which helps with the first part; for an open spool that strings, dry it at 60°C for about 6 hours.

A single spool or a pack?

If you are trying PETG for the first time, a single Fremover spool lets you test colors and settings before you commit. Once PETG is part of your routine, a pack lowers the price of every kilogram, as you can see in the price per kg next to each option above.

Filament bundle FAQ

Is PETG better than PLA?

For functional parts, yes: PETG is tougher, handles heat up to about 85°C and resists sun. For easy printing and fine detail, PLA is still the simpler choice.

What is PETG filament good for?

Parts that get used: brackets, clips, containers, tool holders and outdoor pieces. It is also a good middle ground between PLA and ABS.

Why is PETG difficult to print?

Mostly because of stringing and very strong bed adhesion. Dry filament, tuned retraction and a textured plate fix the usual issues.

Do I need an enclosure for PETG?

No. PETG prints well on an open printer, unlike ABS.

What temperature should I print PETG at?

Start at 240°C on the nozzle and 85°C on the bed. The full range is 230 to 260°C for the nozzle and 70 to 90°C for the bed.
