ELEGOO Rapid PETG Filament 1.75mm 1kg 🖨️
Description:
This black PETG filament is made for faster printing and durable parts, combining rapid flow with toughness for everyday functional prints. If you need a high speed PETG filament for 3D printers that balances quick layer deposition with low warping, this roll aims to reduce print times while keeping good surface quality.
Key Points
The material melts smoothly to support faster travel and extrusion speeds, which helps when printing prototypes or batch parts for testing. It has greater light transmittance than many opaque filaments, making it useful for components that require some diffusion of light, for example lamp covers or translucent engineering parts. Tangling is minimised by mechanical winding and manual inspection, so the spool generally feeds reliably when handled correctly. Consider that filament can absorb moisture; the manufacturer recommends drying if it has been stored for long periods after opening, as damp filament may affect print consistency.

Benefits
Prints produced with this PETG show good impact resistance and toughness, so printed parts withstand everyday handling and mechanical stress better than many PLA prints. Compared with PLA, there is typically less shrinkage and warping, which can reduce the need for aggressive bed adhesion strategies and improve first-layer success. The filament’s cleaner flow also helps maintain consistent extrusion during longer print runs, and this can cut the time required for repeating small production cycles.
Usage Recommendations
Use a print temperature and bed temperature appropriate for PETG and refer to your printer’s guidance for high-speed settings when pushing beyond typical speeds. For improved adhesion and surface finish, a clean glass or PEI bed with a light adhesion aid works well. When printing translucent or light-diffusing parts, a slightly slower speed and finer layer height will enhance optical uniformity. For high-speed printers, verify your hot end and feeder system are suitable for fast melt and flow to avoid under-extrusion at higher throughput.
