MakerBot Method Speciality Material Black PETG - 375-0029A combines the qualities of PLA and ABS filament PETG Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol and is becoming increasingly popular as the material of choice for printing high-performance parts requiring excellent durability along with temperature moisture chemical resistance and flexibility.  Engineers and designers use Speciality PETG to produce durable prints with speed and agility that can withstand industrial applications including functional prototypes jigs and fixtures and end-use parts.

MakerBot PETG Speciality Material is designed for use with the MakerBot Method 3D Printer.  For best results the material should be used with an adhesive on the build plate.

FEATURES

• Excellent mechanical properties including high durability and toughness 8.1 kJ/m2 Impact Strength ISO 179
• Higher heat resistance than both PLA and Tough 70C Heat Deflection Temperature ASTM 648 Chemical resistance to acidic and alkali compounds
• Moisture Resistant 1104 ppm moisture absorption ISO 62
• Prints with water-soluble PVA supports
• Final parts have good ductility and a glossy surface finish
• Easily combine the new PETG material with water-soluble PVA supports thanks to the 3D printers dual extruders

SPECIALTY MATERIAL USER NOTE

Speciality Materials provide basic print performance and can require additional workflow steps to print successfully. PETG requires the application of adhesion stick to the build plate prior to printing.

SPOOL TYPE

Smart Spool provides valuable information including material type color and amount remaining via an RFID chip directly to MakerBot Print while a desiccant in the spool maintains a low moisture level inside the drawer bay.

STORAGE ENVIRONMENT

Store in the included a vacuum-sealed metalized polyester bag to avoid moisture absorption from air; long-term exposure to humidity can compromise material quality and performance. Make sure the built-in desiccant is in the spool to absorb any moisture exposure during the material loading process.
