What is PETG?
PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) sits perfectly between PLA and ABS on the spectrum of 3D printing materials.
If PLA is known for being easy to print but less durable, and ABS is more durable but harder to work with, PETG offers the best of both worlds — balanced strength and printability.
