- What is PETG good for compared with PLA?
- PETG is tougher, slightly flexible and more resistant to chemicals and UV, so it suits brackets, outdoor parts and items that take knocks. PLA is easier to print and stiffer but more brittle.
- What nozzle temperature does PETG need?
- Most PETG prints around 230 to 250 °C at the nozzle with a bed near 70 to 85 °C. Check your printer's hotend rating, since some stock hotends are limited to lower temperatures.
- Will clear PETG print transparent?
- Usually not fully. Clear PETG tends to come out hazy or frosted because of layer lines and cooling, and it is harder to keep glass-clear than clear PLA.
- Does it work on a printer with a Bowden tube?
- Yes, 1.75 mm PETG runs on Bowden and direct-drive setups. Retraction settings need tuning either way, since PETG strings more than PLA.
- How should I store the spool?
- PETG absorbs moisture, so keep it in a sealed bag or dry box with desiccant. Wet filament causes popping, bubbles and weak layers.
- What is in the box?
- One 1 kg spool of 1.75 mm clear PETG filament.
- Where is the Linder Clear PETG Filament 75mm 1kg Roll cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $74.45, as of our latest check.
