Easy PETG is a material developed by the renowned filament manufacturer Fiberlogy, offering filaments with exceptional quality, perfect for a multitude of applications in various sectors. The PETG is a thermoplastic copolyester (polyethylene terephthalate glycol extrusion copolyester). Unlike PET filaments, this does not crystallize when heated, thus presenting great hardness and flexibility, in addition to its well-known chemical resistance (It is resistant to water, acids, alkalis, and alcohols). Therefore, the EASY PETG filament is an interesting option for those seeking a combination of 3D printing ease with functional and aesthetic values. PET enriched with glycol ensures high resistance to mechanical, chemical, and atmospheric factors, and its high amorphicity combined with very good flow allows for prints with greater transparency and better layer adhesion.
Printing with EASY PETG filament is characterized by the absence of deficiencies that arise when working with classic PETG, meaning it does not present multiple strings derived from retractions (stringing), and there are barely any typical black marks on the filament surface caused by burns (burning). With EASY PETG filament, it is very easy to achieve stunning effects on any 3D printer. These properties make EASY PETG an excellent combination of traditional PETG strength and the simplicity and predictability of PLA, highly appreciated by 3D printer users. Easy PETG is a high-quality filament. PETG filaments are gaining popularity due to their low melting temperature and durability, making it a good alternative to any ABS or Nylon. Additionally, it has excellent adhesion to the base and between layers, so warping and cracking effects are practically non-existent.
This filament is perfectly suitable for the production of decorative elements, casings for electronic components, or even for the jewelry sector, as well as for the production of final parts or functional prototypes, thanks to the vivid colors and light reflections that give printed elements an attractive appearance. It is available in a wide range of colors and in opaque and translucent versions, with the latter allowing for translucent parts, especially when printed with low thickness walls (few loops).
In addition, EASY PETG is also available in masterspool format, meaning it comes in a filament roll without a spool. This is Refill Easy PETG, and it requires the use of a spool holder. Its quality and applications are identical to spooled filaments; the only difference is that the refill doesn't have a spool, promoting resource savings and reducing environmental impact.
In conclusion, EASY PETG is a very easy-to-print material with excellent mechanical and aesthetic properties, so if these are the characteristics you are seeking, this is the appropriate material.

To ensure optimal print quality, it is necessary to select the appropriate settings for each 3D printer, considering the printing conditions. The recommended printing temperature ranges between 220 and 250 ºC, and the best bed temperature is 90 ºC (Kapton tape on glass). The layer fan should be set between 0 and 25%, and the flow rate between 95 and 105%. The recommended print speed is < 100 mm/s. The ideal retraction speed is between 20 and 45 mm/s, with 2 to 3 mm retraction for direct extrusion and 3 to 5 mm retraction for Bowden.
Proper storage of Easy PETG filament is essential, as processing damp filament can lead to polymer chain degradation, fragility, poor layer adhesion, stringing, and oozing. It's best to store the filament in a sealed bag with desiccant or in a vacuum-sealed filament container. If the filament absorbs excess moisture, it should be dried in a filament dryer at 60 ºC for 4 hours before it can be extruded.
