Numakers PETG Filament 1.75mm Army Green 1kg

For best results, print Numakers PETG with nozzle temperatures between 230-255°C and a bed temperature of 70-85°C. A print speed of 60-100mm/s is generally recommended, though speeds up to 150mm/s are achievable. Ensure proper bed adhesion using a PEI sheet or glue stick for reliable first layers and minimal warping.

PETG offers a beneficial balance, being tougher and more temperature/chemically resistant than PLA, while easier to print and less prone to warping than ABS. It provides good impact strength and a glossy finish, making it suitable for functional parts that require durability without the printing challenges of ABS.

Yes, PETG is hygroscopic and performs best when dry. It is highly recommended to dry the filament before printing, especially if exposed to humidity. Dry at 60-65°C for 4-6 hours in a filament dryer or a convection oven to ensure optimal flow and prevent issues like stringing or poor layer adhesion.

Common challenges include stringing and bed adhesion issues. Stringing can be minimized by fine-tuning retraction settings (distance and speed) and ensuring the filament is dry. For bed adhesion, use a textured PEI sheet or an adhesive like glue stick, and maintain a consistent bed temperature to prevent first layer detachment.

This PETG is ideal for functional prototypes, durable mechanical parts, jigs, fixtures, and protective enclosures. Its excellent balance of strength, impact resistance, and chemical resistance, combined with its Army Green color, makes it suitable for components exposed to moderate stress, environmental factors, or requiring a specific aesthetic.
