BioPETG

3D Printlife BioPETG

BioPETG is a professional grade PETG specially formulated to be consumed by bacteria once it enters a landfill to energy facility or a commercial compost. 3D Printlife's proprietary bio-additive technology simply provides a food source for the bacteria living in those environments. BioPETG maintains the strength, heat resistance, printing characteristics, and post-process capabilities of PETG in every way.

BioPETG™ combines many of the benefits of ABS with the ease of printing associated with PLA in one material:

• High impact resistance
• High strength and durability
• Excellent layer adhesion
• Excellent pliability
• Very low shrinkage, therefore little to no warping making it deal for large prints
• Smooth finish
• No heated bed required
• High temperature resistance
• Odorless printing
• Excellent chemical and water resistance
• Excellent geometric accuracy
• Can be sterilized
• Strong but flexible (ideal for drones, mechanical parts, & robotics)
• FDA compliant

As with all materials there is a settings "sweet spot" that will vary from one printer to another. BioPETG™ is no different, but once you're dialed in printing with BioPETG™ is a dream. Here are some general setting guidelines:

• Set your nozzle temperature between 235°C and 250°C.
• Print with cooling fan at 100%
• A heated bed is not required but start between 70°C - 80°C if available.
• Set print speed around 55mm/sec or less.
• Try starting with an additional .2mm gap in the Z axis to avoid skimming

BioPETG meets ASTM D5338 standards for biodegradability and maintains a dimensional accuracy better than +/- 0.05mm.

Made in the USA with 100% resins and precision manufacturing combined to deliver the ultimate in consistent 3d printing for hobbyists to Industry 4.0.

In addition, a portion of the proceeds from every spool of BioPETG will be donated to plant a tree. Every spool helps rejuvenate iconic forests in key locations throughout the United States.
