What nozzle and bed temperatures does it need?

Print at 230–260 °C with the bed at 65–75 °C. A chamber around 25–50 °C helps on larger parts.

How fast can I print it?

Elegoo rates it for under 220 mm/s. Slower speeds reduce stringing and improve layer bonding.

Is PETG stronger than PLA?

Yes. Its impact strength and heat deflection (73 °C) beat typical PLA, so it suits functional parts.

Does it fit my printer?

It is 1.75 mm filament on a 1 kg spool and fits most FDM printers with a heated bed.

Do I need to dry it before printing?

PETG absorbs moisture. If you see popping or rough surfaces, dry the spool before use.

Our take on the ELEGOO PETG 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm Transparent Grey 1KG

Elegoo's PETG is a 1.75 mm filament on a 1 kg spool, sold here in Transparent Grey. PETG sits between PLA and ABS: it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, with a heat deflection temperature of 73 °C and impact strength around 76 kJ/m², while printing at 230–260 °C on a 65–75 °C bed. It suits makers who want durable, slightly flexible parts and translucent prints, and who can accept slower speeds and more stringing than PLA. Against premium PETG brands it is a value pick; against PLA it trades easy printing for strength.

Pros

Tough, impact-resistant parts (about 76 kJ/m²)
Higher heat resistance than PLA (73 °C deflection)
Translucent Transparent Grey finish
Prints at moderate bed temperatures (65–75 °C)
Works on most FDM printers with a heated bed

Cons

Needs higher nozzle temperatures (230–260 °C)
Prints best under 220 mm/s, slower than fast PLA profiles
Stringing and oozing are common with PETG
Translucent layers show infill and internal defects
Moisture-sensitive; drying before use is often needed

What reviewers say

Owners of Elegoo PETG generally report clean winding and consistent diameter, with strong, slightly translucent parts. Most complaints center on stringing and the need to tune temperature and retraction.

What people mention

StrengthPraisedOwners say parts come out tough and resist cracking better than PLA.
StringingCriticisedReviewers report fine strings and blobs that need retraction tuning.
Print temperatureMixedUsers note it needs a hot nozzle and slower speeds than PLA profiles.
Spool windingPraisedBuyers describe neat winding and consistent filament diameter.
TranslucencyPraisedThe clear colors diffuse light well, though layer lines stay visible.
MoistureCriticisedSome users find it prints better after drying, with popping or rough surfaces otherwise.
