Is PETG harder to print than PLA?

Yes, somewhat. It prints hotter, around 230-250C, and sticks to the bed strongly, so use a release agent or a textured sheet. It also strings more, so retraction needs tuning.

Will clear PETG print truly transparent?

Not like glass. Thin walls and low infill give a translucent, glassy look; thicker parts turn cloudy and show internal layers. It works best for light-diffusing panels and small lenses.

Does it need an enclosure?

No. PETG prints fine on open FDM machines. An enclosure helps only with drafts and large parts that might warp.

What bed temperature should I use?

Around 70-85C on PEI or glass with an adhesive. PETG can bond too well to bare glass, so let the bed cool before removing parts.

Is 0.25kg enough for a project?

Only for small parts. A 0.25kg spool covers a handful of test prints or small functional pieces; larger models need a full 1kg roll.

Does the filament absorb moisture?

PETG absorbs less than nylon but still picks up moisture. Dry it before printing clear parts, or bubbles and cloudy streaks appear.
