PETG is glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate. Makers sell it for functional prototypes, fixtures and outdoor accessories. Its HDT at 0.45 MPa is 70 °C, below its glass transition. On the H2C it prints at 230–255 °C with a standard nozzle and no heated chamber, and most products call for drying.
Well documented 127 documents from 34 publishers, 95 of them data sheets. Each figure is the median of the products that publish it comparably, and beside it the middle half of them; a value on a test bar no document describes as printed, or with no stated test load, is set apart, except a heat deflection of a plastic that cannot crystallise, which its glass transition sets, unless its document points to a moulded or resin bar. Products with an added filler or additive, and for notched impact those sold as toughened, are shown but kept out of the medians.

Among the materials
Against PETG-CF, PETG is 54 % less stiff, 37 % less expensive and 25 % less tough in notched impact. Against PETG-GF, PETG is 28 % less stiff and 14 % stronger across the layers. Among the materials, PETG has a low tensile modulus (XY), HDT at 0.45 MPa and price: each is in the lowest quarter of the materials that publish it. The rest of its key properties sit in the middle half.
Against its alternatives, PETG has the lowest tensile modulus and price

Each row is a material, each column a property: the bar is the middle half of a material's products, the tick their median, the hairline their lowest to highest; the ticks above the rows are every material's median.

Mechanical properties
Printed flat (XY), PETG typically reaches a tensile strength of 47 MPa at a modulus of 1.69 GPa, and breaks at 8.6 % elongation. In bending, its flexural strength is typically 70 MPa at a flexural modulus of 1.93 GPa.
PETG's products spread most in elongation at break: the middle half runs 6.8–13 %

Where it counts fewer products than the Z median, the others publish no flat value of the same test from the same sheet; the figure's table names them. How XY and Z differ.

After printing
Six products publish values measured after annealing, on schedules from 65 °C for 8 h to 75 °C for 8 h.
It's not recommended to anneal prints of PETG Basic, because only very limited promotion of properties can obtain while prints with not very simple shape and structure may deform obviously.

- Glossy appearance and low warping; fine detail and support release are less favourable than PLA. Finish / detail after Prusa Research, PETG | Prusa Knowledge Base
