PETG - HF
Tough, water-resistant and copes with more heat than PLA: great for functional parts.
Our go-to for functional parts. Tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA (to around 70 °C), water-resistant, and it flexes slightly rather than snapping. A glossy finish; very fine details come out a little softer than in PLA.
