Reply To: Recommended PET-G Filament

I just bought a roll of PETG to print off some new fan housings for my printers. I hated the stuff lol.

A few key points I found:
It’s supposed to be stronger than PLA+ but for small parts I doubt you’d notice.
Due to it printing about 40 degrees hotter than PLA it’s really hard to get rid of stringing on bridging.
I found small pieces on the prints very brittle and got lots of breakages.
Warps quite easily when printing so you can get failures pretty easy when the print head knocks the curled print off the bed.

I ended up reprinting all the parts in my usual eSun PLA+ (SUNLU PLA+ is pretty much the same stuff and I used to get that from amazon UK)

Whats making you look at PETG over PLA+ though?
