Durable, flexible, and chemically resistant, PETG is a valuable 3D printing filament with a small price tag. However, the ideal PETG bed temperature is higher than other materials.
Thanks to its durability, chemical resistance, and low shrinkage, PETG filament is fast gaining popularity. However, it can be difficult to print without careful preparation and adjustment of 3D printer settings.
3D printers promise endless applications. However, sometimes reality gets in the way of that promise. One example of where that can happen is when trying to print something that needs to hold water, only to watch it leak like a sieve. Read on to find out to avoid such a tragic waste of liquid.
