Prusa - Prusament PETG -

Prusament PETG is a high-quality, EU-manufactured 3D printing filament designed as the perfect next step after PLA for more robust and durable applications. PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol) combines the ease of printing of PLA with the mechanical strength and temperature resistance of ABS, but without its drawbacks such as significant warping or unpleasant odours. It is the ideal choice for producing functional prototypes, mechanical parts and components that need to withstand everyday use.

Key features:

• Excellent mechanical properties: Compared to PLA, PETG is significantly tougher, less brittle and more resistant to impact and bending. It is a durable material that is ideal for parts that need to withstand a certain amount of stress.

• Guaranteed precision and consistency: As with all Prusament products, PETG is guaranteed to have an industry-leading diameter tolerance of ±0.03 mm. This high level of consistency ensures a reliable printing process and excellent surface quality.

• Transparent quality control: Every spool is fully traceable via a QR code. Scan the code to view a detailed online report of the production data for your specific spool, including precise measurements of diameter and roundness.

• High temperature resistance: Prusament PETG retains its shape and strength at higher temperatures than PLA, making it suitable for applications in warmer environments or for parts that generate heat.

• Low warping and easy handling: PETG exhibits very low shrinkage during cooling. The result is minimal warping, which makes printing large objects considerably easier and more reliable than with ABS.

• Chemical resistance: The material is water-repellent and resistant to a range of chemicals, which expands its scope of application for containers or covers.

Technical data and recommended print settings:

• Filament diameter: 1.75 mm (±0.03 mm)

• Weight: 1 kg

• Nozzle temperature: 250 ± 10 °C

• Heated bed temperature: 80 - 100 °C (a textured or satin-finish build plate is recommended)

• Material: PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol)

Prusament PETG is the first choice for anyone who needs functional, durable and heat-resistant 3D prints without having to deal with the difficulties of materials such as ABS. It bridges the gap between the ease of use of PLA and the robust properties of more technical filaments, whilst delivering the premium quality and reliability you’ve come to expect from the Prusament brand.
