3D printing material Verbatim 55058 Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol White 1 kg

Verbatim 55058 Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG) White 1 kg is a 3D printing filament designed for reliable, everyday use by professionals and hobbyists. This 2.85 mm filament combines the strength and durability of PETG with consistent diameter tolerances and Verbatim quality control, delivering stable extrusion, good layer adhesion and reduced warping. The material is hydrophobic, odour neutral and offers high impact resistance and flexibility, making it suitable for functional prototypes, mechanical concept models and items that benefit from moisture resistance.

Advantages

The filament prints easily with minimal warping and shrinkage, ensuring dimensional stability on a wide range of printers. It provides strong inter-layer bonding and high impact strength, producing durable parts that tolerate mechanical stress. Being hydrophobic and odour neutral, the material resists moisture-related issues and emits no strong smells during printing. Manufactured to tight tolerances, the spool supports consistent feeding and repeatable results.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes and mechanical concept models
• Parts requiring impact resistance and flexibility
• Containers and items exposed to moisture
• Non-load-bearing medical objects and hygienic components
• General-purpose prints where easy printing and dimensional stability are required

How to use

Load the 2.85 mm filament into a compatible extruder and set the printer to recommended PETG parameters for your machine. Typical settings include a nozzle temperature appropriate for PETG (consult your printer and material datasheet), moderate print speed, and a heated bed to improve first-layer adhesion. Use a suitable build surface or adhesion aid if needed. Ensure filament is stored in a dry environment when not in use to maintain optimal print quality. Monitor initial layers to confirm proper extrusion and bed adhesion before continuing long prints.

Usage recommendations

For best results, print PETG with a slightly slower first layer speed, enable retraction settings tuned for PETG to reduce stringing, and maintain a stable ambient temperature to avoid drafts. Post-processing such as light sanding or acetone-free smoothing methods can improve surface finish; avoid aggressive solvents. Verify suitability for food contact or medical use according to applicable regulations before using for such applications.
