Material
PETG — Glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate
The everyday functional choice. If you are hesitating, it is probably this one.
Use it for
- Parts handled daily: handles, mounts, clips
- Anything exposed to moisture or steam
- Bins, storage, workshop organisers
What it will not do
- Will not survive repeated dishwasher cycles
- Dulls in sunlight over time
- Slightly less crisp surface finish than PLA

What we have learned using it
Its real quality: it bends before it breaks. A clip in PLA snaps at the first load; the same clip in PETG takes it. That is why it goes into most of the functional parts we produce.

Names are the manufacturer's own and serve as the ordering reference. The colour runs through the material, it is not painted on — swatches are indicative, a physical sample prevails.

Values measured by the filament manufacturer on standardised specimens. A printed part will differ with orientation, infill and settings: we validate on a test part on request.
Technical data sheets (TDS) from the filament manufacturer, Bambu Lab, in English, as published on its store on 6 September 2026: mechanical and thermal properties measured on specimens, drying and printing conditions. It is the document to attach to a technical file; we also send it with the order on request.
