Filament spool Prusa Prusament PETG 1 kg — Orange

Prusament PETG filament is a 1 kg spool of orange 1.75 mm material designed for FDM/FFF 3D printers. This PETG formulation balances tensile strength, chemical resistance and printability, making it suitable for functional parts, prototypes and durable consumer items. The filament is compatible with standard 1.75 mm hotend setups and works with common PETG print settings to deliver reliable layer adhesion and toughness in finished prints.

Advantages

Prusament PETG offers improved impact resistance compared with typical PLA while remaining easier to print than many engineering-grade filaments. The material provides good chemical and moisture resistance for applications that require durability. Consistent diameter and spool winding help reduce print failures and support steady extrusion, and the orange color yields high visibility and clean surface finish for post-processing or visual inspection.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes and mechanical parts requiring impact resistance
• Enclosures, brackets and fixtures used in everyday conditions
• Tools, jigs and assembly aids that demand toughness
• Objects exposed to mild chemicals or moisture where PLA would degrade

Key specifications

• Material: PETG (glycol-modified polyester)
• Spool weight: 1 kg of filament
• Filament diameter: 1.75 mm nominal
• Color: orange
• Compatibility: FDM/FFF 3D printers with 1.75 mm filament path
• Suitable for heated bed printing and moderate nozzle temperatures typical for PETG

How to use

Load the 1.75 mm filament into a compatible FDM/FFF printer following the printer manufacturer’s filament loading instructions. Use common PETG printing parameters: a nozzle temperature in the PETG-recommended range, a heated bed set to reduce warping, and moderate print speeds to ensure consistent extrusion. Enable retraction settings appropriate for PETG to limit stringing and adjust cooling to balance layer adhesion and surface quality. Store the spool in a dry environment or sealed container with desiccant to maintain filament performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, print on a clean, properly leveled build surface with a small initial layer height to ensure adhesion. If parts require maximum strength, increase extrusion multiplier slightly and consider annealing procedures compatible with PETG to improve dimensional stability. Avoid prolonged exposure to strong solvents; perform post-processing such as sanding or painting after cooling.
