PETG filament: Spool for 3D printer
The 1Kg PETG filament is a material that has excellent mechanical properties. It is more elastic, resistant to impacts, with better adhesion between layers and better resistance to temperatures than traditional PLA. MAX PETG filament is specially formulated for 3D printers, making it the best PETG filament you can buy.

FAQ PETG filament
What is Petg filament?
The PETG filament is a filament for 3D printers made from Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol, which is a modification of PET to which Glycol is added. This modification gives it better mechanical and optical properties.
Which filament do I choose? PETG VS PLA
The PETG filament and the PLA are two of the most popular and used filaments for 3D printers today. Both are very easy filaments to print in 3D and the main difference between PLA and PETG is their mechanical properties. PLA is more suitable for prototypes and decorative pieces while PETG is more focused on end-use or technical pieces.
How to print PETG?
If you are wondering how to print PETG, you should know that PETG filament is very easy to print on any 3D printer if you follow our tips for printing PETG< /strong>. The temperature of the PETG must be between 230 and 240 ºC for a correct extrusion of the PETG. The heated bed should be between 80 - 90 ºC, at this temperature the adhesion of the PETG is perfect.
How to do PETG Annealing?
The annealing is a technique to improve the resistance of parts manufactured using a 3D printer. If you want to anneal the PETG, you must start heating it to a temperature between 75ºC and 80ºC in a controlled manner over 80 minutes. Then you should let it cool gently. The annealing of PETG will make the PETG molecules align and give the piece greater hardness.
How is PETG filament made?
The PETG filament MAX is manufactured in our facilities in Spain following the highest quality standards.
Why use PETG instead of ABS?
Because it has similar technical properties and is easier to print.
