About PETG
Tougher and more heat resistant than PLA, food-contact grades exist, strings more. Bonds strongly to smooth PEI.
Getting good results with Hatchbox PETG
- Start near the middle of the range (245°C) and print a temperature tower to find your printer's sweet spot.
- Faster printing needs a hotter nozzle; slow, detailed prints look best near the low end of the range.
- No enclosure needed; keep part cooling on after the first few layers.
- Dry it, following the label on your spool, if you hear popping, see extra stringing, or the surface turns rough.
Plan a print with the print cost calculator or convert meters to grams with the filament converter. Always check the label on your spool, since makers update their recommendations.

The temperatures, density and drying setting were checked against the maker's own published data in November 2026; the notes and tips are our own summary. The price is what the maker charged in its US store that month; prices change often. Values we could not find in the maker's data are marked as such.
