Z3D® PETG – 1.75 mm (various colors)
High-quality PETG filament for strong, durable, and versatile 3D prints:
Z3D PETG combines high strength, excellent layer adhesion, and good temperature resistance. It is less brittle than PLA, easier to print than ABS, and perfectly suited for functional parts, housings, mechanical components, or visually clean models.
Important PETG & PETG+ Properties
- Material: PETG – tough, heat-resistant, slightly flexible.
- Filament diameter: 1.75 mm
- Material weight: see table below.
- Good temperature resistance (approx. 70–80 °C depending on the part).
- Extremely strong layer adhesion – ideal for functional parts.
- Low warping, very beginner-friendly.
- Vibrant colors, brilliant look, slightly glossy surface.
- Available colors: see color selection or table below.
Important PETG-CF Properties
- High stiffness due to carbon fiber content.
- Low shrinkage – ideal for precise part geometries.
- Premium matte finish without visible layer reflections.
- Very good temperature resistance (approx. 75–90 °C depending on wall thickness).
- Abrasive fibers cause increased nozzle and extruder wear.
Material Description – PETG-CF (Carbon Fiber Reinforced)
PETG-CF is a high-quality, carbon fiber reinforced PETG material developed specifically for technical applications. The fine carbon fibers significantly increase stiffness and dimensional stability while maintaining the typical toughness of PETG. The material also impresses with a professional surface finish and excellent dimensional accuracy.
Thanks to its low tendency to warp, PETG-CF is ideal for precise functional components, brackets, mechanically stressed parts, and projects requiring an optimal balance of strength, weight, and printability. Due to the abrasive nature of carbon fibers, we recommend using a hardened or coated nozzle to avoid premature nozzle wear.
Cleaning Filament
The cleaning filament (100g net loose) supports clean material and color changes – especially recommended between PLA, PETG, and TPU to prevent residue buildup in the hotend.
Sample – PETG Sample
The material samples (30g net loose) are provided in a randomly selected available color.
Color requests cannot be considered, and multiple orders may contain duplicate colors.

Print Settings PETG & PETG+
- Hotend temperature: 230–250 °C (printer dependent, test cube recommended).
- Print bed: glass, PEI, textured plate.
- Bed temperature: 70–85 °C for optimal adhesion.
- No warping – enclosure not required.
- Fan: 0–40% (too much airflow → weaker layer adhesion).
Print Settings – PETG-CF CARBON
- Hotend temperature: 240–265 °C (printer dependent, test print recommended).
- Nozzle: hardened / coated (carbon fibers are abrasive).
- Print bed: glass, PEI, or textured plate.
- Bed temperature: 70–90 °C.
- Low warping tendency – enclosure not required.
- Recommended layer height: 0.12–0.28 mm.
- Fan: 0–30%, depending on desired surface finish.
- Reduce flow slightly (98–100%), as CF filaments shrink less.
Typical Applications PETG & PETG+
- Functional & replacement parts
- Mechanical & technical components
- Housings, brackets, clips
- Parts requiring slight flexibility
- Outdoor parts (more UV-resistant than PLA)
- Clean visual parts with slight gloss
Typical Applications – PETG-CF CARBON
- Mechanically stressed parts
- Brackets, fixtures, and assembly adapters
- Drone arms & robotics components
- Housings and functional prototypes requiring high stiffness
- Lightweight parts with reduced material deformation
- Parts requiring a matte, premium finish
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) PETG & PETG+
- Does PETG ooze during printing?
- Yes, PETG tends to ooze slightly. Running a retraction test is recommended.
- Is PETG stronger than PLA?
- Yes, PETG is significantly tougher and more impact-resistant than PLA.
- Does PETG require a heated print bed?
- Yes, ideally 70–85 °C for optimal adhesion.
- Is PETG suitable for technical parts?
- Yes – strong layer adhesion and temperature resistance make PETG ideal for this purpose.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – PETG-CF CARBON
- Do I need a special nozzle for PETG-CF?
- Yes. Carbon fibers are abrasive and will heavily wear down brass nozzles. A hardened steel, ruby, or coated nozzle is strongly recommended.
- Is PETG-CF stronger than regular PETG?
- Yes, PETG-CF is noticeably stiffer and more dimensionally stable, offering a premium matte surface finish. However, impact toughness is slightly lower compared to pure PETG.
- Does PETG-CF warp easily?
- Very little. The material is usually easier to print than ABS or Nylon and does not require an enclosure.
- Can I print PETG-CF with very small nozzles?
- A nozzle size of 0.4 mm or larger is recommended. 0.5–0.6 mm works even better, as carbon fibers can affect the material flow.
