eSun PETG 1.75mm 3D Printing Filament 1kg-Solid Red

This eSun PETG 1.75mm 3D Printing Filament in Solid Red offers the combined advantages of ABS and PLA filaments. Known for its ease of printing, high toughness, and heat resistance, PETG filament also boasts good layer adhesion and a degree of flexibility.

PET-G (Polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified) is a robust and water-resistant thermoplastic renowned for its glossy finish. Commonly used in the production of soda bottles, PET has gained popularity in 3D printing due to its versatile properties, bridging the gap between ABS and PLA.

Printing with PETG is nearly as straightforward as with PLA but requires slightly more attention. Strong bonding between layers necessitates squishing the first layer similar to PLA, as excessive material flow can cause nozzle clogging. PETG exhibits excellent layer adhesion, resulting in sturdy and flexible prints compared to the brittle nature of PLA. However, PETG may not adhere well to other materials, and glue may not provide sufficient grip.

Another notable feature of PETG is its glass-like transparency in neutral colors, offering opportunities for vibrant translucent prints. PET-G can be printed with or without a heated bed, with minimal warping when using adhesion aids like 3DLAC. While printing at 65 degrees Celsius on a heated bed is recommended for easy print removal, 245 degrees Celsius is the optimal extrusion temperature for best results. Printing with PETG typically emits no discernible odor, but adequate ventilation is still advisable.

Features:

1. Higher strength, lower shrinkage, and smoother finish than ABS & PLA
2. Combines good strength with ductility, making it a good, tough material for mechanical parts
3. Good chemical resistance
4. Often features a nice, translucent finish
5. Contains UV absorber
6. Good hydrophobicity (doesn’t absorb water easily), good for high humidity storage & usage
7. Low shrinkage, allowing non-headed bed printing
8. Almost odorless during printing.

Package Includes:

1 x eSun PETG 1.75mm 3D Printing Filament 1kg-Solid Red
