One of the most widely used and popular plastics that has been introduced to 3D Printing over the past decade or so is PETG filament, which is the plastic that many bottles, containers, and similar types of products are made. It offers an impressive level of durability against impacts and scraping, but also a good level of flexibility if it’s not printed too thick. This is what makes our 1kg spools of Transparent 1.75mm PETG such popular choices since PETG seems to offer the best of both worlds while also being environmentally friendly and easy to recycle.

The PETG polymer, in addition to the above benefits, is also hydrophobic and resistant to absorbing water and moisture. This allows it to last a lot longer than other 3D Printer Filaments once opened, which is especially important if you live in very humid areas like along the coast. Furthermore, this polymer melts into liquid form very smoothly, which helps to improve extrusion and in turn boosts the potential quality of prints. These features, in conjunction with the high durability, impact strength, and flexibility, make PETG plastic one of the most versatile and multifunctional plastics available to hobbyists and professionals alike.
