Technical information:
PETG Filament (Polyethylene Terepthalate Glycol-modified) is the common thermoplastics of the polyester family and is used in fibers for clothing, bottles for liquids and foods. This material is easy to print and has a glossy and smooth surface finish, due to great thermal characteristics the print will cool efficiently resulting in minimal warpage and strong layer bonding. The mechanical properties features high impact resistance and excellent flexibility.

Additional info
To get the best results while printing we advise you to keep the 3D printer in a room where there is hardly any draft and/or temperature fluctuations.
When the 3D printer is not being used it is important to keep the 3D4MAKERS PETG Filament in a bag and stored in a cool (15-25˚C) and dry room away from UV light until it is used again.
