PETG parts: durable, water-resistant, made to order

Q: What temperature can PETG parts handle?

PETG parts hold their shape up to roughly 65 to 70 degrees Celsius. That covers most indoor, garage, and enclosed equipment applications, but not engine bays or other high-heat environments.

PETG is the material we recommend for most functional parts. It combines impact resistance, water resistance, and moderate heat tolerance, making it the practical default for brackets, mounts, housings, clips, and holders. We 3D print PETG parts to order in London, Ontario and ship across Canada.

Tough without being brittle

PETG flexes slightly under load instead of cracking, which is why it outlasts PLA in parts that get handled, dropped, or stressed.

Handles water and moisture

Suitable for parts that get wet: marine fittings, bathroom hardware, and outdoor-adjacent components out of direct sun.

Stable to roughly 70 °C

Holds its shape in garages, enclosures, and equipment housings. For direct sunlight or higher heat, see ASA or PC FR.

Applications

What PETG is used for

Typical jobs we print in PETG. If your part is similar to any of these, PETG is likely the right choice.

Brackets and mounts

Shelf brackets, equipment mounts, sensor and camera mounts, wall hooks, and hardware for jigs and fixtures.

Housings and enclosures

Electronics project boxes, cable management, covers, and protective housings for indoor equipment.

Replacement parts

Discontinued clips, knobs, end caps, hinge components, and appliance parts, reproduced from a sample or photo.

Automotive and marine interior

Interior trim clips, cup holders, dash organizers, and cabin hardware for boats and vehicles, away from engine heat and constant sun.

Specifications

Material properties

Values below are from the manufacturer's technical data sheet for the PETG we print with (Bambu Lab PETG HF), tested to the ISO standards listed.

Physical

Property	Method	Value
Density	ISO 1183	1.28 g/cm³
Heat deflection temp.	ISO 75, 0.45 MPa	69 °C
Heat deflection temp.	ISO 75, 1.8 MPa	62 °C
Vicat softening temp.	ISO 306	70 °C
Glass transition temp.	DSC, 10 °C/min	66 °C
Water absorption (saturated)	25 °C, 55% RH	0.40%

Mechanical

Property	Method	Value
Tensile strength	ISO 527	34 ± 4 MPa
Young's modulus	ISO 527	1810 ± 190 MPa
Bending strength	ISO 178	64 ± 3 MPa
Bending modulus	ISO 178	2050 ± 120 MPa
Elongation at break	ISO 527	8.6 ± 1.2%
Impact strength (Charpy)	ISO 179	31.5 kJ/m²

Mechanical values are measured in the X–Y print plane. Like all 3D printed parts, strength across layer lines is lower (tensile strength approximately 23 MPa in Z). We orient every print to put the strongest direction where your part needs it. PETG resists most oils and greases, but is not resistant to strong acids, alkalis, or some organic solvents.

Common questions

PETG printing FAQ

Is PETG strong enough for automotive parts?

Yes, for interior and non-structural applications: clips, trim, brackets, cup holders, and mounting hardware. For parts in direct sunlight we recommend ASA, and we do not print safety-critical components such as brake, steering, or fuel system parts.

Is PETG waterproof?

PETG is water-resistant and suitable for parts that get wet, including marine and bathroom applications. It absorbs very little moisture (0.4% saturated). For continuous outdoor sun exposure, ASA is the better choice.

What temperature can PETG parts handle?

PETG parts hold their shape up to roughly 65 to 70 °C. That covers most indoor, garage, and enclosed equipment applications, but not engine bays or other high-heat environments. For higher temperatures, see PC FR.

How much does a PETG print cost?

Pricing depends on size, quantity, and complexity. Upload a file or describe the part and you'll receive a print and shipping price within one business day, with no obligation.
