ELEGOO Rapid PETG Filament 1.75mm Black 2KG, High Speed 30-600mm/s 3D Printer Filament Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02 mm, 1kg Cardboard Spool(2.2lbs) Fits for Most FDM 3D Printers

I had all but given up on PETG. I could print it at 50 mm/s max if I babied it, but the results were inconsistent. There are two almost-full rolls in my filament stash.After watching a YouTube video, I figured I would give this stuff a chance. I tried it with regular PLA settings, just a bit hotter. And it worked!In just a few prints, I had my settings pretty well dialed in:240 nozzle, 80 bed (all layers)10 mm^3/s volumetric20% cooling, 50% for overhangs and bridges1.5mm retraction at 40 mm/sInitial layer 50 mm/s (infill and wall)Bridge at 50 mm/sThis is for a Creality K1C.Oh, and I didn't need to use a glue stick. At a high enough bed temp, it holds, and it releases. That makes it all the better.I do use a skirt for buildup on the nozzle during the test strip extrusion.But that's pretty much it. The problems I had with regular PETG are much better. The PETG nozzle buildup is much less. The stringing is way less. It's not as sensitive to temperature. It doesn't curl up as much at corners. It doesn't have the bipolar PETG bed adhesion issues that are either "weld" or "skating rink."I don't have access to fancy testing equipment, but I did print a temperature droop test and left it on my vehicle dash during a summer day and it was fine, with no visible deformation. The same exact model had drooped with carbon fiber PLA. So the heat deflection may not be as good as standard PETG, but it's sufficient for outdoor prints.As for strength, it seems pretty durable. It has a bit of give to it - a good thing for impact resistance.The appearance is glossy. I prefer matte but it isn't overwhelming.Basically, this stuff prints so well and is so affordable that printing PETG isn't a chore anymore.

This stuff is great, it prints easily like PLA. This will be a review on the transparent 'color', but I have also purchased the black color and have had great results! Printed on Bambu Lab X1C. (See photos for both colors!)Pros:- Can achieve very high max volumetric speeds (22 mm^3/s)- Minimal stringing when dried properly- Not as finicky as conventional PETG. Less of a learning curve.- Transparency is quite high when using the right settings - see below- Sticks VERY well to Textured PEI plates. (Lower temps to 65 degrees C to promote better releasing, or use releasing agent, such as glue.)Cons:- One spool wasn't properly wound, and got jammed in the AMS- As noted in 'Pros' section, sticks VERY well. Be sure to adjust bed temperatures, if necessary.- Can stick to the nozzle like conventional PETGTips:- To achieve better transparency do one, or all of the following: Higher nozzle temps (260-265); Lower printing speeds (can also lower max volumetric flow rate); Reduced fan speeds (and higher layer times)- Dry for at least six hours at 60 degrees C. More time would be better!- If running on Bambu: be sure to calibrate flow rateDefinitely will now be my go-to for PETG!

This filament has been such a great experience after getting retraction worked out! prints very smoothly and is able to be printed at high speeds! i currently have been printing with it at 1mm retraction (direct drive extruder) 300 mm/s 260 degrees C and have had fantastic results! supports break away easy but the parts themselves do not break! i printed a sheet roughly 3" x 4" just to see how far i could bend it without it breaking and i was actually able to fold it in half without it snapping in half! i then tried to continuously bend it back and forth to see if i could get it to tear or beak and it still wouldn't! i am extremely happy and impressed with this PETG as i have mainly only printed in PLA, but it is safe to say im probably never going back to PLA and this is going to be my go to company to get my materials from! With how bad of a name PETG has for stringing, the stringing that i have is extremely minimal, thinner than a strand of hair strings here or there but not all over the place or at every move like ive seen soooo many videos have happen with various brands of course. those little strings are easily fixed with a quick wave over the stove at low heat and then you are left with perfectly printed parts that feel even more smooth with a slightly more glossy finish! i HIGHLY recommend ELEGOO's RAPID PETG filament! after my first spool used i have been hooked and have ordered more spools in various colors and cant wait to try them! Again I am extremely satisfied and very happy with the affordability of the filament, the speed you are able to print, the strength of the prints, the finish of the prints, and the stringing is a very negligible amount as to not be concerned with! ELEGOO has earned my business! my ONLY complaint is there is a limited amount of colors currently available and i really hope to see more variety with colors which i hope include color shifting, glow in the dark, and glittery styles! Thank you ELEGOO again for making this filament so easy and quick to work with! the bigger tube object is a fully 3D printed lamp i am currently working on, printing the led tube / lamp shade piece in white! and will be adding that to the photos after it is complete! Again THANK YOU ELEGOO for making such a great filament that is able to handle higher speeds and is VERY durable!
