Prusament PETG Yellow Gold 1kg (Clearance)

Prusament PETG Yellow Gold is a high-quality 3D printing filament distinguished by its unique yellow-gold color, offered as a clearance item. PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) combines the beneficial properties of ABS and PLA, offering an excellent balance of toughness and ease of use. This material is renowned for its high impact strength, chemical resistance, and low shrinkage, making it an ideal choice for functional prints and mechanical components. The recommended printing temperature ranges from 230 °C to 250 °C, while the heated bed temperature should ideally be set between 70 °C and 85 °C. An enclosed build chamber is not strictly necessary but can improve results for larger objects. Due to its good layer adhesion and low tendency to warp, this filament is highly suitable for engineering applications, replacement parts, casings, and decorative items that require a degree of translucency or sheen. Key strengths include its high toughness and the absence of strong odors during printing. However, PETG is more prone to stringing than PLA, which can be minimized by fine-tuning retraction settings. Additionally, care should be taken during storage to keep it dry, as PETG is hygroscopic.
