PETG 3D printing service
PETG is the workhorse for functional parts. It is tougher and more heat tolerant than PLA, handles moisture and many household chemicals, and flexes a little before it breaks instead of snapping.
What PETG is good for
- Brackets, mounts, and mechanical parts
- Parts exposed to water or humidity
- Snap fits and parts that need some give
- Outdoor parts that stay out of long direct sun
PETG properties
- Good impact resistance and layer adhesion
- Heat tolerance to roughly 70–80 °C
- Resists moisture and many common chemicals
Things to consider
- Slightly less crisp detail than PLA
- Degrades over years of UV exposure; ASA is better for permanent outdoor use
How ordering PETG prints works
Upload an STL or 3MF and choose PETG and a color. We check the model for thin walls and unsupported overhangs, slice it against the profile of a real printer that has PETG loaded, and price it from that machine. The operator prints it, checks the part, and ships it to your door with tracking.
- Layer height 0.08 – 0.28 mm
- Parts up to 256 × 256 × 256 mm
- No minimum order: one part is fine
