Couldn't load pickup availability
EconoFil™ PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) is the perfect balance of strength, flexibility, and printability—offering a reliable alternative to PLA and ABS for more demanding applications. Engineered for consistent performance and smooth results, EconoFil™ PETG is ideal for functional parts, mechanical components, and everyday prints that need to go the distance.
Stronger than PLA and more flexible than ABS, PETG delivers impact resistance, excellent layer adhesion, and low shrinkage—making it great for large prints and precise, durable results.
✅ Tough and flexible with high impact strength
✅ Excellent layer bonding and minimal warping
✅ High gloss and great light transmission (in translucent colors)
✅ BPA-free, low-odor, and food-safe*
✅ Spooled on 100% recycled cardboard
EconoFil™ PETG prints easily across a wide temperature range and performs well even on standard desktop 3D printers. With chemical resistance and high heat tolerance, it's a dependable choice for both professional and hobbyist use.
- You can also experiment between 200°C - 240°C until ideal print quality is achieved.
- Set your print bed temperature to approximately 75-85°C (hotter for the first few layers if possible). If further bed adhesion is requires, keep increasing the bed temp by 5°C until it improves.
- PETG doesn’t need to be squeezed onto your heated bed, you want to leave a slightly larger gap on the Z axis to allow more room for the plastic to lay down. If the extruder nozzle is too close to the bed, or previous layer it will skim and create stringing and build-up around your nozzle. We recommend starting off moving your nozzle away from the bed in 0.02mm increments, until there is no skimming when printing.
- Print on glass with glue stick or you favourite printing surface.
- Best practice before printing any PETG material is to dry it before using (even if new), dry at 65°C for at least 4 hours. If possible, dry for 6-12 hours. Dried PETG should last for about 1-2 weeks before needing to redry.
- If print is too stringy, also try under-extruding a bit. PETG can be sensitive to over extrusion (blobbing etc.) – if you’re experience this, just bring in the extrusion setting on the slicer ever-so-slightly each time until it stops.
- No raft. (if the print bed is not heated, consider using brim instead, 5 or more mm wide.)
- 60-100mm/s print speed
