PETG printing: strong, durable and ready for indoors and outdoors
Printing in PETG is our standard. For us it is the best balance between strength, finish and price. Below you can read why, and which colours we keep in stock. Want to know what your print costs? Try the price calculator.
Why we print in PETG only
Our standard material: strong, slightly flexible and resistant to sun, moisture and temperatures up to ±80 °C. Ideal for both decorative and functional prints, from figures to replacement parts.
Indoors PETG is perfect for holders, organisers, figurines, enclosures and replacement parts: it is impact-resistant, gives a nice slightly glossy finish and does not splinter. Outdoors it truly shines, where many print materials discolour or become brittle, PETG is UV- and moisture-resistant. Think of planter supports, garden-tool clips, licence-plate holders or parts for the camper.
Because PETG stays dimensionally stable up to around ±80 °C, you can also use it in the car or near equipment that gets warm, something cheaper filament quickly fails at. Read in our process how we check every model before printing.

Choose the finish that suits your print
A 3D print is built up layer by layer. The thinner the layers, the smoother the surface, but also the longer the print time. That is why we offer three qualities; you simply make the choice in the request form.
Standard, 0.20 mm
The best balance between finish, strength and price. Layer lines are visible up close but neat and even. Perfect for functional parts, holders, enclosures and most decorative prints. No surcharge.
High, 0.12 mm
Thinner layers for a noticeably smoother surface and sharper details. The print time increases considerably, hence the surcharge. Recommended for figurines, miniatures, gifts and anything that above all has to look great.
Extra strong
Same layer height as standard, but with extra walls and a higher infill percentage. Choose this for parts that have to withstand force: hooks, clamps, brackets, jigs and replacement parts used daily.
