Are you searching for Prusament PETG Recycled Filament in Australia? PETG is an incredibly tough material with great thermal resistance. It's a versatile choice, perfect for mechanical parts and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. With almost no warping, printing large objects is a breeze. We even use it to print parts for our printers! PETG is one of our top picks for 3D printing. It's nearly as easy to print as PLA but offers many mechanical properties that PLA can't match. The 'G' in PETG stands for Glycol, added during manufacturing to modify PET's properties, making it easier to print, less brittle, and clearer in semi - transparent variants. It has low thermal expansion, so big prints rarely lift from the bed or warp, even without an enclosure. Plus, it's ductile with enough flex to prevent parts from breaking under pressure. Unlike PLA or ABS, PETG may ooze a bit and leave plastic strings. But you can minimize this by increasing retraction and adjusting the hotend temperature. Our Prusa Slicer filament presets have already taken care of this, reducing stringing to a minimum. If you still notice a little stringing, just use a heat gun on your finished prints. If you can handle the oozing and strong adhesion, you'll get a durable, temperature - resistant print for indoor and outdoor use. Browse more filaments and 3D printing supplies on our site.
Using this Prusa Prusament PETG recycled filament for 3D printing is quite straightforward. First, load the filament into your 3D printer following the printer's instructions. You can use our presets in Prusa Slicer to make the printing process easier and reduce stringing. If you don't use the presets, you may need to adjust the retraction and hotend temperature to minimize oozing. When printing large objects, you don't need an enclosure as this filament has low thermal expansion and rarely warps. After printing, if you see a little bit of stringing, quickly use a heat gun to get rid of it. As for maintenance, store the filament in a dry place to keep it in good condition. Also, be careful when handling the filament as it has strong adhesion. If you have any issues during printing, feel free to check our website for more support.
