Good value for a versatile filament

After trying a different brand of PETG, I almost gave up on this type of filament ... but the internet descriptions of the advantages of PETG persuaded me to give it another try. This time I tried the brand I should have started with - I have had consistently good results with the other Hatchbox filaments that I have used (PLA and ABS), and now I have fallen in love with their PETG as well. The prints are very strong with no discernable warping, and with the Hatchbox brand I have not had any problems with jamming or stuttering. Adhesion to the 70 ° heated bed is excellent with a layer of glue stick, and though it takes a bit of persuasion, the prints release cleanly. PETG does require relatively high print temperatures, so it is best suited to an all-metal hot-end.

Very smooth prints!

I print with this using 250c and 70 bed temp and prints fantastic. Weirdly, the stringing stop when I went to the higher temperature and the plastic became more like dough squeezing out of the baking tube. Made very nice and smooth prints.

My favorite filament

I had not tried PETG before but wanted something that had the capabilities of ABS but wasn't as difficult to work with. PETG plastic is the same stuff they make 2 liter soda bottles out of, ever tried to break one of those with your hands ? PETG is now my favorite filament. Why do I like it ? Does not warp on large prints. Very low smell or odors when printing. I can sniff above the item printing and only a slight hint of a PLA type odor. Does not try to pull off the bed at corners or anywhere else. I set the bed at 65C and never an issue. Sticks well and when finished as soon as the bed temp drops below about 30C a tap to the sides of the print with something hard like the handle of a screwdriver and it comes free. Sometimes it will release itself if you let the bed cool completely. I can drill it and it doesn't crack or turn into melted plastic. I can sand it and it reminds me of sanding wood , it comes off more like dust. PETG is labeled as safe for food contact by the FDA, so good for things like pet related items. The one thing I had to learn is that it is a bit more thick when heated and as such puts a little more pressure on the nozzle when printing. If uyou don't use retractions on the nozzle you will get little tiny spheres of the plastic at start and stop points. Using simplify 3d for software and a Prusa i3 type printer I set retraction at 1.8mm and coasting at 1.8mm and no more issues. Using .4mm nozzle, direct extruder from folger tech and 65C bed, 240C extrude, 50mm/sec speed.

Prints like a dream

I was just starting out with PETG (which has become my new "standard" plastic now, replacing PLA and ABS) and got some Inland brand to try. What junk. Bought some Hatchbox to give PETG a second chance and there is all the difference in the world. Prints like butter. And Hatchbox PETG does not require quite so much heat to print as some other PETG filament manufacturers require. Which makes the Teflon tube inside your hot end much happier and longer lasting. I am getting GREAT prints on an ANET A8 at 240 degrees C with the bed at 70. Printing on glass and getting GREAT results.

The spooled is wrapped nicely so no tingling issues

This is my go to PLA are the very first when I printed word becomes very well packaged, it's vacuum sealed very well. The spooled is wrapped nicely so no tingling issues. I've printed over 100 hours of models with this PLA and have not had any issues especially with clogging. Great product price has gone a little bit higher but still good value for the money .

Another great product from Hatchbox

My first PETG from Hatchbox. Works right, the first time, and is perfectly wound on the spool, unlike others. I've used a lot of Hatchbox PLA's and been quite happy with them too. My only beef is that they seem to be perpetually out of stock. But I guess that goes with the turf.

For Creality3D CR-10S4 this is the better product

I ordered a single roll of white 1.75 mm PETG from HATCHBOX on 2/28/19. Received it on 3/2/19. The reason I ordered it was the eSun white I had would not stick to the glass plate of my Creality3D CR-10S4. The huge bed on these printers have a hard time getting above 80C reliably. I had to use white, the black had been printing wonderfully. What I am finding is HATCHBOX products are able to adhere to the glass plate at 73C with a large brim fairly constantly. On my printers that can easily do 85C or higher on build plates I have no problem with the brand eSun or HATCHBOX. The spool I had was perfectly coiled around the spool, if it got messy it had to do with me changing the filament. I also liked that the HATCHBOX white is more of a creamy white verse eSun stark white. The project turned out wonderfully. My wife is making a container garden and wanted unique pots. I have begun switching to HATCHBOX specifically for the Creality3D CR-10S4 printer. Keeping both eSun and HATCHBOX products on hand. Both are good. Tip for glass plates: after going through many iterations with failed prints, including using hairspray. The best solution is to clean the build plate with warm soap and water, clean and dry completely. Then print, use glass cleaner to get any build up off for the maintenance. If you are still having and can increase the build plate temp and/or increase your brim size.

Smooth as butter

It took me a bit of trial and error to find the right print settings for this since I usually print in PLA, but once I did, it works great. I have been printing at 230 C with my bed at 75 for the first layer and 70 the rest of the time. I have read that PETG is more prone to stringing and that does seem to be the case here a bit. In particular, on my first layer, I'll have a little bit ooze out during travel and show up on the build surface. This filament comes out looking smooth and silky. I like that it's not as brittle as PLA as I've using it as an enclosure case for some custom hardware that I'm working on. I live in Florida and have had my spool sitting out for a few days and haven't seen any issues yet from moisture or humidity. PETG is known for absorbing more moisture than PLA, so if it does start to have issues, I will stick this spool into a food dehydrator to remove the moisture. Overall, I have been happy with it, but the price is a bit higher compared to some other brands.

So far so Good

I can't compare this to other PETG filaments as this is my first attempt with the plastic, but it is a dream to print compared to ABS. I'm printing with a Mini-Select printer and the only problem I've had is the removal of the plastic after printing is complete. I use nozzle temp of 250C and bed at 65C. Those settings have worked well so far.

Strong and easy to print

I’m learning petg, this Hatchbox petg I printed at 250* slightly higher than suggested temps but this filament is very strong. I printed out a drop, leg holster for my Glock 20 and MAN it is awesome.
