Cookiecad - PETG Green Apple Elixir PETG Filament 1.75mm, 1kg

Bring an enchanting, vibrant aesthetic to your functional 3D prints. Cookiecad Green Apple Elixir PETG is a truly unique engineering material that blends a bright, vivid green base with a magical, shifting blue and purple shimmer. This captivating material plays beautifully with changing light, giving your models a stunning visual depth without sacrificing the structural durability your projects require.

The Magic of Co-Polymer Aesthetics

Formulated to align with the highly coveted shade of Cookiecad's signature Green Apple Elixir lineup, this PETG variant lets you transition your favorite fantasy colorway into rugged, functional components. Because PETG possesses different light-transmission properties than other polymers like PLA, ABS, or TPU, the shifting jewel-toned flakes glisten with a deeper, multi-dimensional luster right off the print bed.

Why Choose PETG Over PLA?

• Enhanced Structural Strength: PETG provides significantly higher impact resistance, better tensile strength, and greater flexibility than standard PLA, meaning parts won't snap under stress.
• Superior Thermal Threshold: With a higher heat deflection profile, prints hold their shape without warping or deforming under hot sunlight, making it excellent for automotive interior accents, outdoor functional parts, or practical household items.
• Excellent Layer Adhesion: Delivers superior Z-axis bonding, resulting in highly water-resistant, durable, and reliable parts.

General Printing & Calibration Tips

To capture the ultimate color depth and clean extrusion behavior, PETG requires slightly adjusted hardware profiles compared to PLA:

• Nozzle/Extruder Temperature: 230°C – 250°C (Adjust to find the perfect balance between high gloss and minimal stringing).
• Heated Bed Temperature: 70°C – 80°C
• Print Surface Prep: PETG adheres aggressively to smooth PEI and glass. It is highly recommended to apply a glue stick or specialized release interface to your build plate to protect your surface during part removal.
• Storage Note: Keep this spool stored in a dry box or sealed bag with desiccant when not in use to maintain crisp, artifact-free extrusion.
