- Is PETG harder to print than PLA?
- Yes. PETG needs a hotter nozzle, typically around 230-250C, and slower speeds. It also strings more, so tune retraction before long prints.
- What is the difference between Candy Red, Matte Red and Translucent Red?
- All three are PETG in the same red family. Candy Red is a glossy, jellybean-like red, Matte Red has a flat finish, and Translucent Red lets light through.
- What tolerance does the filament hold?
- The stated diameter accuracy is +/-0.03mm at 1.75mm, which keeps extrusion consistent on most printers.
- How much filament is on the spool?
- Each spool holds 1kg, or 2.2lb, of 1.75mm PETG.
- Is PETG good for outdoor parts?
- Yes. PETG handles heat and UV better than PLA, so it holds up for brackets, mounts and other outdoor prints.
- Does it work on a smooth PEI bed?
- It can stick too well and tear the sheet. Use a release agent or a textured plate, and let the part cool before removing it.
