Best 3D printers for PETG
PETG is an all-rounder but strings more than PLA and benefits from a direct-drive extruder. Enclosure is not required — in fact, too much heat can cause stringing.
Must-have
- Heated bed to 70–85°C
- Nozzle to at least 240°C
Nice to have
- Direct-drive extruder (fewer stringing issues)
- Fan speed control
