PETG that prints like a workhorse — and performs like an engineering polymer.
PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) has become one of the most popular 3D-printing materials because it combines the easy printing of PLA with real toughness and chemical resistance. MAX-G™ PETG is 3DXTech's engineered take — built on an FDA-approved base resin and compounded in the USA into consistent, printable filament. It resists impact, UV, and common chemicals, prints with minimal warping or odor off practically any heated-bed printer, and needs no enclosure and no hardened nozzle.
Impact resistance and ductility — without the printing headaches.
Durable, less-brittle parts from a filament that just prints.
MAX-G™ PETG stretches to roughly 24% elongation before it breaks, so parts flex and absorb impact instead of shattering the way PLA does. At the same time it prints easily on a standard heated bed with a normal brass nozzle — no enclosure, no abrasive fiber, no exotic hotend. That balance of toughness and printability is what makes engineered PETG the default choice for functional parts you actually put into service.
Real engineering properties, from a published TDS.
These are 3DXTech's published MAX-G™ PETG values (TDS v3), tested on an open-source FDM/FFF machine with a 0.4 mm nozzle at 0.25 mm layers and 100% infill, ISO methods.
Strength at break (ISO 527) — strong, durable parts that hold up in service.
Stiffness under load (ISO 527) — parts stay dimensionally stable.
Strong in bending (ISO 178) with a 1600 MPa flexural modulus.
High ductility (ISO 527) — parts flex and take impact before they fail.
DSC-measured Tg — comfortably above typical ambient service temperatures.
Deflection temp (ISO 75) — more heat-tolerant than PLA for enclosed or outdoor parts.
Easy to run — standard nozzle, no enclosure required.
3DXTech's recommended starting conditions. MAX-G™ PETG is unfilled and non-abrasive, so no hardened nozzle is needed and a heated chamber is not required.
Standard PETG hotend range — no exotic high-temperature hardware required.
A warm bed with a suitable adhesive gives reliable first-layer grip and low warp.
PETG prints with minimal warping, so an enclosure is optional even on larger parts.
No hardened nozzle needed — unfilled PETG is non-abrasive, so a standard 0.4 mm brass nozzle is fine.
Runs cleanly at 0.10 mm or higher — no special layer-height concerns.
PETG is mildly hygroscopic; drying at 65°C for ~4 hours gives the best surface and consistency.
From prototypes to functional, outdoor-ready parts.
Off practically every heated-bed 3D printer.
Print prototypes, fixtures, enclosures, and end-use components.
Because it's tough, chemical-resistant, and UV-stable, MAX-G™ PETG is a natural fit for parts that go into service — not just prototypes. Print jigs and fixtures for the shop floor, brackets and housings that need to take a knock, or outdoor components that shrug off sunlight. It prints on the hardware you already own, with an FDA-approved base resin that wipes clean with isopropyl alcohol.
Eight colors — every one the same engineered blend.
Black, Reflex Blue, Dark Grey, Natural, Orange, Red, White & Yellow.
Choose your color in the buy-box — the spool preview updates as you pick.
MAX-G™ PETG ships in eight colors, from stealth Black and clean Natural to bright Orange, Yellow, and Red. Every color prints the same engineered blend, so you can standardize your settings and just swap the reel. Need a specific color in bulk? Ask us about case pricing.

FAQ
3DXTech MAX-G PETG — Common Questions
Do I need a special printer?
No exotic hardware. You need a printer with a heated bed (60–90°C) and a hotend that reaches 230–260°C. PETG prints with minimal warping, so an enclosure is not required and a standard brass nozzle is fine.
Do I need a hardened nozzle?
No. Unlike glass- or carbon-fiber filaments, MAX-G™ PETG is unfilled and non-abrasive, so a standard 0.4 mm brass nozzle prints it without any accelerated wear.
How is MAX-G PETG different from standard PETG?
It's an engineered blend on an FDA-approved base resin, compounded in the USA for consistent diameter and tight tolerances. You get PETG's toughness and chemical resistance with reliable, repeatable printing lot to lot.
Is it good for outdoor parts?
Yes. PETG withstands UV light better than PLA and resists moisture and many chemicals, so it holds up well for outdoor and functional parts.
What colors and sizes are available?
Eight colors — Black, Reflex Blue, Dark Grey, Natural, Orange, Red, White, and Yellow — in 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm, on 1 kg and 4 kg reels. Ask us for bulk.
Is it made in the USA?
Yes — 3DXTech manufactures and compounds MAX-G™ PETG in its 68,000 sq-ft facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with published data and lot traceability.
