PETG Filament 1.75mm 1KG Blue High Quality 3D Printer Filament

Description

PETG is a 3D printer filament with basic chemical and mechanical properties similar to those of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It is a thermoplastic resin suitable for food contact, commonly used to make beverage bottles, barrels, or food containers.

Tutorial: How to Use 1.75mm Blue PETG Filament

Blue PETG filament is an ideal material for 3D printers, offering good wear and temperature resistance. This guide shows you how to use it correctly.

What you need

• 3D Printer
• Filament Reader
• Glass Scraper

Steps

1. Check the compatibility of your filament reader with the filament diameter (1.75mm).
2. Insert the filament into the reader and start the installation.
3. Set the melting temperature for PETG, generally between 230°C and 260°C (check the datasheet).
4. Start printing the desired 3D model.
5. Use a glass scraper to remove any plastic residue from the filament feeder after use.
