Best value PETG 3D printer filament

Top pick: eSUN PETG (1.75 mm, 1 kg). eSUN is the safest value in PETG — a well-known brand with consistent diameter and dialled-in profiles, so you spend less time tuning and more time printing. It's the one I'd buy for everyday functional parts.

Who the others suit:

• Black PETG 1.75 mm 1 kg — the cheapest way to stock up on plain black; great for jigs, brackets and prototypes where colour doesn't matter.
• Elegoo Rapid PETG — if you print fast; Rapid grades hold up at higher speeds.
• Creality PETG (6-pack) — bulk buyers who want one brand and one colour across many spools.
• Bambu Lab PETG Basic — Bambu owners who want the brand's own tuned profiles.
• Matte Black / 5 kg California Filament — matte finish fans, or high-volume users who want fewer spool changes.
• Creality clear PETG — decorative or light-diffusing prints.

Check each spool's diameter tolerance and dry it before use; PETG is hygroscopic.
