3D printing material Verbatim 55061 Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol Red

Verbatim 55061 Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG) Red is a 1 kg spool of 2.85 mm filament designed for fused filament fabrication on a wide range of 3D printers. This PETG material combines high impact strength, flexibility and low shrinkage, offering straightforward printing with minimal warping and neutral odour. Manufactured to tight tolerances and quality-control standards, the filament delivers consistent feeding and stable layer adhesion for functional parts, prototypes and end-use components.

Advantages

PETG offers a balance of strength and ductility, making it less brittle than standard PLA while easier to print than many engineering plastics. The hydrophobic nature of the material reduces moisture-related print issues, and the neutral odour improves the printing environment. Verbatim's quality control ensures uniform diameter and spool winding for reliable extrusion and repeatable results across different printers.

Suitable for

• Functional prototypes and concept models requiring impact resistance
• Mechanical parts and fixtures that need durability and some flexibility
• Containers or items intended for limited food-contact applications (observe post-processing and local regulations)
• Medical models and non-implantable medical devices for visual and functional assessment
• General-purpose prints where minimal warping and reliable layer bonding are important

Key specifications

• Material: Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG)
• Colour: Red
• Net weight: 1 kg
• Diameter: 2.85 mm
• Properties: high impact strength, low shrinkage, hydrophobic, neutral odour

How to use

Load the 2.85 mm filament into any compatible filament-fed 3D printer following the printer manufacturer's filament loading procedure. Typical printing settings for PETG start with a nozzle temperature in the range recommended by your printer or slicer profiles for PETG and a bed temperature to reduce warping; fine-tune retraction, print speed and cooling to achieve optimum surface quality and bridging performance. Ensure the spool can rotate freely on the holder and that filament path tension is minimal to maintain consistent feeding.

Usage recommendations

Store filament in a dry environment or sealed container with desiccant to preserve print quality. When printing functional or food-contact items, perform appropriate post-processing, cleaning and follow local regulations. Adjust slicer parameters such as extrusion multiplier and retraction for your specific printer and nozzle size to optimise dimensional accuracy and layer adhesion.
