PETG Printing Tips
- Dry if Needed – 65°C for 8 hours if stringing occurs.
- Flow Ratio – 0.93-0.96 is optimal; adjust as needed.
- First Layer – Slightly higher (0.25mm) helps adhesion.
- For Glossy Finish – Lower speed, higher temperature.
- Store Dry – Prevent moisture absorption after use.
Important: Transparent Printing Note
| For transparent PETG variants: The transparent properties may affect Lidar Extrusion Calibration. If using clear PETG, you may need to manually adjust flow calibration. |

Bambu Lab PETG FAQ
Q: Does PETG work with the AMS?
A: Yes, Bambu Lab PETG Basic has integrated RFID and is fully compatible with the Automatic Material System (AMS).
Q: Why is my PETG stringing?
A: PETG may string if it has absorbed moisture. Dry at 65°C for 8 hours. Also check retraction settings and try reducing print temperature.
Q: Is PETG food safe?
A: While PETG is generally considered food-safe as a raw material, the 3D printing process creates porous surfaces that can harbor bacteria. Not recommended for food contact.
Q: Can I print PETG without an enclosure?
A: Yes, PETG does not require an enclosure and has minimal warping compared to ABS.
