MG Chemicals PETG Filament

PETG is a high-strength transparent thermoplastic with excellent moisture and chemical resistance. It does not require a heated print bed, is easy to use, and has low shrinkage and minimal odor. It is excellent for applications where strong, transparent prints are desired, and it is widely used in mechanical parts fabrication and robotics. MG Chemicals premium 3D printing filaments are manufactured under strict quality control to ensure consistency. Our spools have a large hub to ensure uniform winding, and cut-outs on the sides so the user can easily see how much filament is left.
