MakerBot Specialty - naturel - 750 g - rol - PTEG-filament (3D)

Engineers and designers prototyping functional parts on MakerBot METHOD or Replicator+ printers often need a material that combines strength with ease of printing. This 750 g spool of MakerBot Specialty PETG in Natural delivers exactly that: a translucent, glossy finish with low warping and odor, perfect for creating durable prototypes, jigs, and end-use parts in a workshop or office environment.

• Heat deflection temperature: 70 °C (at 0.45 MPa)
• Spool dimensions: outer diameter ~200 mm, hub diameter ~53 mm, width ~60 mm
• Low shrinkage, low warping, low odor
• RoHS compliant

Why choose it

PETG offers the best of both worlds: the strength and temperature resistance of ABS with the printability of PLA. This MakerBot filament is engineered for consistent diameter and roundness, ensuring reliable feeding and high-quality prints. The natural translucent colour is ideal for applications where light diffusion or a clear aesthetic is desired, and the low warping characteristic reduces the need for a heated chamber, making it suitable for open-frame printers as well.

Ideal use cases

• Functional prototypes that require impact resistance
• Manufacturing aids such as jigs, fixtures, and guides
• End-use parts for consumer products and enclosures
• Educational projects demonstrating material properties
• Light pipes and translucent covers

Good to know

Store the filament in a cool, dry place, ideally in a sealed bag with desiccant, to maintain print quality. The spool is designed to fit standard 3D printer spool holders, and the 750 g size is perfect for moderate production runs without excessive waste. For best results, use a hardened nozzle if printing on abrasive surfaces, though PETG is generally non-abrasive. This filament is compatible with MakerBot Replicator+ and METHOD series printers (with appropriate extruder) as well as most FDM printers accepting 1.75 mm filament.
