- Is Polymaker PETG worth it over PLA?
- Yes for parts that need toughness or heat resistance. PLA is still easier and cleaner for display models.
- How is the new formula different?
- Polymaker says it improves consistency and layer adhesion. Treat it as the same PETG class with better spool-to-spool reliability.
- What temperatures should I print it at?
- Start around 230-250 C on the hotend and 70-80 C on the bed, then adjust for your printer and speed.
- Does it work on a stock printer?
- Yes. It needs no enclosure and prints on common brass nozzles, though slower speeds help.
- Does it need drying?
- PETG absorbs moisture. Dry the spool if prints pop or look rough, and store it sealed.
- Is it food safe or dishwasher safe?
- No. Printed parts are not food safe, and PETG softens at temperatures a dishwasher reaches.
