PETG 3D printing
PETG is tough with a little flex, and it's food-safe — it resists moisture and chemicals and won't shatter. It's a durability step up from PLA for parts that take the occasional knock.
Starting price
$8.99 / part
Our default all-rounder for functional and durable parts — tough, food-safe, and shrugs off the moisture, heat, and chemicals that soften PLA. Flexes under load instead of cracking, with a clean, glossy finish. Best for containers, brackets, enclosures, and parts that take a real beating.
