PetG

Post by lordbinky »

I got some PetG from Gizmodorks. I am LOVING this stuff. High temp like ABS, shrinkage on par with PLA, and strong with strong layer bonding. I've been redoing printed parts like my E3D mounting, and when I get the calibration back for large parts I'll be printing a 3DR with this stuff. Only downside is it's still more expensive than ABS. Still, worthwhile when I'm doing functional prints. I have other PET that I haven't gone through yet, so I don't know if it's PetG in particular or if all PET types are just as good.

You can find esun petg on Amazon. PETG is different to PET and requires a bit less printing temp. Best print with 240 to 250 Celsius.

PETG is aimed to replace ABS on some applications where high impact is needed. PETG is also recyclable and print odorless. PETG does not absorb water. Little to no shrink. Much better than ABS. Very similar to Colorfabb XT overall. You can use your settings for Colorfabb XT straight and it will print well.

TGlasse is what Taulmann call PETT.
It has it's issues, notably a lot of stringing, inconsistent extrusion through smaller nozzles, but I printed a few mechanical parts with the last roll I ran ran through and was pretty happy with them.
