What is PETG?
PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol) is a relative of the plastic used in water bottles, modified so it prints cleanly and bonds strongly between layers. It bends a little before it breaks, so parts survive drops and knocks that would crack a more brittle plastic. We stock it in satin black as our default and in a matte finish in eight colors.
Design tips for PETG
- Use walls of 1.2 mm or more for a rigid part.
- Leave about 0.2 mm of clearance per side for parts that fit together.
- For a part that lives in a hot car or in full sun, choose ASA.
- Round inside corners slightly; it makes the part stronger and prints cleaner.
Nozzles: 0.4 mm as standard, 0.2 mm for fine detail and small text, 0.6 mm for larger parts printed faster. General tolerance is ±0.5% with a lower limit of ±0.5 mm. More in the design guide.

PETG 3D printing FAQ
Is PETG strong enough for functional parts?
Yes. PETG is the material we use for most brackets, mounts, enclosures and fixtures. It is tough and bonds well between layers, so parts hold up to real use. For a stiffer part choose carbon-fiber PETG; for heat or sun choose ASA.
How much does PETG 3D printing cost?
The price is a $5 setup fee plus the grams of PETG and the hours of printing for your part, with a $20 minimum order. PETG is our lowest-priced material. Upload your file for an exact price in seconds.
Is PETG safe outdoors?
PETG handles rain and normal temperatures well. For parts that sit in direct sun or in a hot vehicle for years, ASA is the better choice.
What colors can I get?
Satin black, plus a matte finish in eight colors. The colors in stock today are shown on this page and on the quote page.
