With the right material, 3D Printing can produce high quality functional parts using filaments like PETG, but if we are honest, we Makers do love our eye-catching 3D Prints, and this Fillamentum Orange PETG is just the aesthetically pleasing filament you need to make that outdoor cam case look a bit more interesting. Fillamentum PETG is like a blend between ABS and PLA but is made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (with Glycol additives), and this makes it the ideal material to use for all kinds of functional prints that need to withstand real world forces. While ABS Filament is highly regarded for its impact resistance, PETG offers a similar level of impact resistance but couples it with some good flex as well, which of course provides a boost when compared to ABS.
Fillamentum PETG Filament is designed in the standard 1.75mm size on a 0.75kg spool. Fillamentum PETG Filament is a premium brand option, as it can certainly take a light to moderate knock without cracking, deforming or otherwise becoming structurally unstable and unusable. This makes it ideal for items like handguards on motocross bikes, scratch plates for sleek enclosures, handles for cupboards and storage compartments, and pretty much any other applications that may be exposed to the odd bump, knock, scrape or similar type of harsh force. These characteristics make it a great all-round material for pretty much anything you want to print.
With a core focus on ensuring precision consistency in every spool produced, Fillamentum has rightfully garnered a position as one of the top suppliers of 3D Filaments throughout the world. This amazing brand also offers a vibrant range of Fillamentum ABS to the more intriguing styles of Fillamentum Exotics like the Timberfill Range. Fillamentum is not only passionate about quality but is actually capable of delivering on this promise each and every time, without fail. Regardless of what Fillamentum Polymers you’re choosing for your next project, you can expect excellent results with each and every one.
So, regardless of what kind of 3D Maker you are, we’re quite sure that you’ll be able to take full advantage of what Fillamentum PETG has to offer, and if you’re looking for a material that’s similar to ABS but easier to print – or if you just want to switch it up and test out a fresh new material with its own range of fun colours – PETG may be the ideal material for you to test out.

3D Printing with the durable and slightly flexible PETG polymer is quite a unique experience, as it offers very similar characteristics to ABS, but uses very similar printing specifications to PLA. This is why many 3D Makers argue that PETG is the perfect balance between ABS and PLA polymers, offering high strength but also being relatively easy to print with compared to some of the filaments and polymers with stricter parameters.
However, if you really want to get the most out of your PETG prints, and enjoy both durable and aesthetically awesome-looking results, we’ve collected following insights, which we feel are some of the most important factors, and which we feel are the most important factors to experiment with when “dialling in” your 3D Printer:
Although this section of 3D Printing Tips is longer than usual, we feel that these are all equally important for 3D Makers who really want to get maximum strength or detail quality from this fantastic polymer. However, this list isn’t at all exhaustive, and we encourage you to go out and find even more great insights, and be brave in your experimentation. You may even reveal a completely new secret that nobody knew about, and because 3D Printing is still a relatively new hobby for most people, your findings could certainly earn you some internet points if shared with the right communities.
If you’re still eager to learn more about the intricacies of 3D Printing with PETG, we’ve taken the time to collect together some of our favourite resources, guides, tutorials and discussions, and we feel that each of these offer some unique insights that can help you achieve great success with this slightly tricky but very awesome 3D Filament. Just remember, however, that each of the following resources will have their own unique take on printing PETG, and may have used different brands or colours in their tests. As such, they may understandably differ from our tips, which we created using Fillamentum PETG Filament, but can still offer great assistance if you’re running into troubles, or are just looking for further information over and above what we’ve provided. As such, we hope that you enjoy these as much as we do, and can gather some good tips to help you get your 3D Printer dialled in and printing strong, beautiful or otherwise impressive PETG prints:

Starting in as early as 2013, but with roots that go even further than that, Fillamentum is a brand that actually began working in the automotive industry, before moving into the packaging industry, and then eventually arriving in (and specialising in) 3D printing, where they found their true passion. And as a company that has always placed a high priority on following innovation, they took to 3D printing like a fish to water, and since 2013, have been consistently introducing fresh new innovations to the industry in the form of new types of polymers, refinements to classic polymers, as well as hybrid polymers that blend in materials like wood for distinctively unique effects.
What we really love about Fillamentum and their awesome 3D filaments range, is that they offer true consistency even between hundreds or thousands of batches. In fact, they actually match many of their colours to specifically defined Pantones and RAL colours, which are universal colour standards that artists, designers and many other professionals commonly use for precision colour coordination. This of course is complemented by their consistent quality, with an impressive (and tested) 0.05mm tolerance throughout each spool, as well as consistent results from various colours across multiple batches during our own testing phases.
As a brand that clearly demonstrates its passion for 3D printing through it’s beautiful 3D filaments, we’ve been exceptionally impressed with Fillamentum, and we certainly won’t be too surprised if Fillamentum becomes your new favourite 3D filament for all occasions.
