PETG — Glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate

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.

Consider instead

• ABS — if it gets hotter than 70 °C
• PA6-CF — if it really takes load
