PETG print temperature and settings

Tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, with little warping, which makes it the usual step up for functional parts.

Across the 45 PETG lines we track, the median recommended range is 230–250 °C at the nozzle and 70–80 °C on the bed. Protopasta starts lowest (195 °C) and QIDI Tech goes highest (280 °C).

What you need to print PETG

No enclosure neededPrints fine on an open-frame printer.

Brass nozzle is fineNo abrasive fill.

Good for

functional and outdoor parts
food-container style prints (check the brand’s certification)
parts that need some flex before breaking

Watch out for

Strings more than PLA
Sticks very strongly to smooth PEI; a release agent such as glue stick helps
Absorbs moisture over time
