PolyLite PETG – Red – PolyMaker

PolyLite PETG – Black – POLYMAKER

PolyLite™ is a series of 3D printing filaments manufactured from the finest raw materials to ensure exceptional quality and reliability. PolyLite™ covers the most popular 3D printing materials to meet your everyday design and prototyping needs. PolyLite™ PETG is an affordable PETG filament with balanced mechanical properties and affordable printer compatibility.

Characteristics:

• Balanced mechanical properties – PolyLite™ PETG features well-balanced mechanical properties; it offers good strength while outperforming regular PLA in durability.
• Heat Resistance – PolyLite™ PETG features heat resistance up to 80°C combined with good toughness, enabling PolyLite™ PETG to be used for more functional applications where PLA will not have the required toughness or heat resistance, such as lighting fixtures, vibrating parts or more functional product design prototypes.
• Easy sanding – PolyLite™ PETG is easier to post-process than regular PLA, allowing it to be sanded to a nice smooth finish.
• Excellent compatibility – PolyLite™ PETG filament is compatible with a wide range of 3D printers; PETG shares many advantages of PLA, such as fantastic dimensional stability with minimal distortion compared to other high temperature materials. A heated bed with a temperature of 80°C is required.
• Uncompromising Quality – With Polymaker’s industry-leading quality control process and rigorous in-house testing, you can be confident that PolyLite™ PETG will produce beautiful, reliable and accurate printed parts.

Print settings:

• Nozzle temperature 230°C – 240°C
• Plate temperature 70°C – 80°C
• Build Surface Material Works well with most build surfaces, i.e. glass, BuildTak®, etc.
• Rigid build plates are recommended over magnetic flexible plates.
• Build surface treatment Apply Ecofixy adhesive to the build surface to improve adhesion.
• Housing – Not required, but helpful to protect from drafts and maintain a stable printing environment.

*If closed, on some printers it is recommended that the door or lid be open to prevent an overly hot environment.

• Cooling fan SMALLER for better surface quality
• EXCLUSIVE for better strength
• Print speed 30 mm/s – 50 mm/s
• Download Ideal download settings vary from printer to printer and depend on the hot end. The following settings are a good starting point for many machines.
• Direct drive: retraction distance of 1 mm at a retraction speed of 20 mm/s.
• Bowden: 3 mm retraction distance at 40 mm/s retraction speed
• Single extrusion: self-support.
