Non-transactional template for PrintMyDesign PETG Basic Filament, fixed 1.75 mm
Non-transactional template for PrintMyDesign PETG Basic Filament, fixed 1.75 mm diameter. Variant attributes are Color and Spool Weight.
PETG is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA (usable to roughly 75–80 °C), with better chemical and moisture resistance, and it still prints on an open frame. The trade-offs are a glossier finish and more stringing between parts.
| Nozzle temperature | 230–250 °C |
|---|---|
| Bed temperature | 70–85 °C |
| Enclosure | Not needed |
| Drying | If it strings: 60–65 °C for 4–6 h |
Typical ranges for this material; the spool label and the printer profile are the authority.
Good for functional parts, enclosures, brackets, containers, anything that gets wet and short-term outdoor use. It is the material most makers reach for once PLA is not strong enough.
Prints on open-frame machines such as the Bambu Lab A1 mini / A1 and Creality SPARKX i7
PETG absorbs moisture faster than PLA. If stringing or rough surfaces appear, dry it at 60–65 °C for four to six hours and reduce part cooling so layers bond.
