Description
PETG, also known as PolyEthylene Terephthalate Glycol, is relatively similar to PET material, however, the G at the end means that it is being modified by Glycol. This change affects the overall chemical structure resulting in more transparency, strength, and ease of processing. Often used as a PLA alternative, PETG is considered as one of the most versatile 3D printing materials. Please kindly follow the instructions listed below for the best printing experience.
