3D Printer: California Filaments Gray PETG 1.75mm Filament Testing - Part 2
This two-part video shows the testing of California Filaments Gray PETG 1.75mm Filament.
PETG is a good choice when you need higher strength and resiliency than you get with PLA.

I've had very good luck with California Filaments PETG.
Part 1 shows unboxing, and using a Temperature Tower to evaluate the best extrusion temperature to use.
Part 2 covers Bed and Layer Adhesion testing. Unusually, the usual temperature I print PETG at failed this test! I doublecheck the printer with the California Filaments Black PETG. Once I get the temperature and cooling dialed in, I print my favorite PETG torture test: The PolyPearl Tower.
My 1U CubeSat - Fully Assembled Life Sized (1:1) Model is an example of a product I make that uses this filament:
