Prusament PETG V0 is the world's first and only self-extinguishing PETG filament with UL94 V0 certification, making it the best choice for environments where heat resistance, fire safety, and legal compliance are essential. This technical material is designed by Prusa3D specifically for 3D printing of enclosures, electronic components, and insulating parts that require flame-safe behavior.

Thanks to its advanced formulation, PETG V0 ensures stable printing, with minimal warping, no need for enclosed chambers or special nozzles. Its self-extinguishing behavior has been tested under the IEC 60695-11-10 standard, earning the international UL94 V0 certification, ideal for sectors seeking technical and legal validation from the prototyping stage.

During combustion, this filament forms a charred crust on the surface of the printed part that blocks oxygen entry, thereby stopping the fire's progress. This property makes PETG V0 a key material for environments with ignition risks, whether domestic, industrial, or electronic.

Additionally, Prusament PETG V0 maintains a glossy finish, excellent layer adhesion, and prints easily on open-frame printers. Its strict manufacturing controls ensure a dimensional tolerance of ±0.02 mm, high color consistency, and full quality control thanks to QR code traceability on every spool.

PETG vs PETG V0: key differences between standard and self-extinguishing filament

PETG is widely used in 3D printing due to its mechanical strength, flexibility, and ease of use. However, when a technical solution combining fire safety and regulatory compliance is needed, PETG V0 becomes the best alternative.

The main difference between PETG and PETG V0 is their flame behavior. While standard PETG is not flame-retardant, PETG V0 has been specifically developed as a self-extinguishing filament with UL94 V0 certification.

Both filaments share a similar extrusion temperature and good dimensional stability. However, PETG V0 requires more careful storage and preparation, as it is more hygroscopic and may string if not properly dried. On the other hand, standard PETG offers better bridge performance and less stringing, making it more suitable for small or detailed parts.

In technical and professional applications, such as electronics, insulation, robotics, and machinery, PETG V0 offers a clear advantage: verified fire safety and regulatory compliance, especially useful in industrial or domestic environments with electrical hazards.

Although both materials feature a glossy finish and are easy to sand, PETG V0 is slightly more prone to scratches and supports can be harder to remove. Nevertheless, when safety and thermal resistance standards are a priority, PETG V0 is the most reliable choice.

Conclusion

PETG V0 filament represents an advanced and safe solution in the world of 3D printing, specifically developed to meet the demands of industries where fire protection and technical reliability are critical. Its UL94 V0-certified self-extinguishing behavior, combined with excellent printability, thermal resistance, and durability, make it the best choice for manufacturing functional parts in electronics, robotics, and industrial environments. For any application where safety is as important as performance, PETG V0 offers a unique combination of features that sets it apart from standard PETG and other technical filaments on the market.

To print correctly with PETG V0, a heated bed at 80 ± 10 °C and an extruder around 230 ± 10 °C are recommended. A special hotend or an enclosed printer is not necessary. As for the print surface, it offers good adhesion on PEI sheets, glass platforms, painter’s tape, or when using glue stick as a release agent. For a good finish, a cooling fan is required with a recommended speed of 50 %.

Print Surface Preparation

Good adhesion begins with a clean surface. For smooth PEI sheets, isopropyl alcohol is not recommended as it may cause excessive adhesion and make part removal difficult. As an alternative, a glue stick can be used as a release agent. On textured or satin surfaces, isopropyl alcohol works very well. Apply it with a perfume‑free paper towel and clean the bed when it’s cool to avoid premature evaporation. Another valid option is warm water with a small amount of dish soap.

Controlled Cooling

Using the layer fan is important to maintain visual quality and detail definition, reducing strings and blobs during printing. For maximum structural strength, it is recommended to print without fan, taking advantage of the high temperature of PETG V0 to improve layer adhesion. It is suggested to print the first layers without fan to avoid warping, and activate the fan at 50 % on subsequent layers.

Filament Drying

PETG V0 has high hygroscopicity, meaning it easily absorbs moisture from the environment. To ensure optimal results, it should be stored in dry conditions. If it gets damp, it is recommended to dry it for 6 hours at 55 °C before use. This will prevent defects such as bubbles, stringing, or poor layer cohesion.

Sanding and Post‑processing

Parts printed with PETG V0 can be dried or wet‑sanded without complications, allowing surface finish improvement or dimension adjustments after printing. Although it cannot be smoothed with acetone like ABS, it allows for simple mechanical post‑processing.

Perimeters and Mechanical Strength

To increase the mechanical strength of a part, it is most effective to increase the number of perimeters rather than the infill percentage. Most of the strength comes from the outer structure, so reinforcing the external walls will have a more significant impact on print durability.
