Pro PETG FAQ

What temperature should I print at?

245–265°C nozzle and 70–80°C bed. See Pro PETG print settings.

Do you have slicer profiles for Pro PETG?

Not yet. They're a lower priority because a generic PETG profile works decently well. Expect to raise the hotend temperature, though: Pro PETG is pure, virgin PETG, and many PETGs on the market aren't, so ours needs more heat for the best print quality and strength. See Pro PETG print settings.

Do I need an enclosure?

No.

Do I need to dry a new spool?

We recommend it. See Drying and storage.

How much heat can it take?

Its heat distortion temperature is 62°C under a 1.82 MPa load and about 70–72°C under 0.455 MPa. For more heat resistance, use Pro PCTG. See Pro PETG or Pro PCTG?.

Can I print it in an AMS?

Yes. Like all of our 1 kg filaments, Pro PETG ships on an AMS-compatible spool. See spool sizes and weights.

What sizes are available?

1 kg and 4 kg spools of 1.75 mm filament. We don't stock 2.85 mm, but we can make it to order with a minimum of 100 kg per SKU. Contact us for pricing and lead time.

Is it food-safe?

The base resin is certified for food contact. That doesn't necessarily make 3D printed parts food-safe, though. The printing process itself, including layer lines that can trap bacteria and contact with the printer's nozzle and other components, affects whether a part is safe for food.

What is ReFuel Pro PETG?

ReFuel is our recycled line. ReFuel Pro PETG is the same grade as virgin Pro PETG and prints with the same settings. It's made from color-transition spools from production changeovers, or from out-of-spec filament that we repelletize and re-extrude, so colors vary.

I think my spool is defective. What should I do?

See How to request assistance with a possibly defective spool.
