Q: I print flutes with pla. it is hard to sand, but sands just enough for me to get inside smooth enough. how is this material?

PLA is actually the most difficult to sand because it just melts. ABS and PETG give a much better end product after sanding. Much more so than PLA

Question 1

Does this stuff print really stringy?

Accepted Answer

My prints were initially very hairy but after spending a considerable amount of time perfecting my print settings I've made several prints that were perfect every time. The biggest factor I found was temperature; the hotter you print the more stringing there will be. For me stringing disappeared and bridging improved after I substantially decreased the print temperature; I had heard that PETG likes it hot so I had started with 250C but after experimentation I found that 218C was around perfect for my particular setup. Your print speed will also be a factor in this; I print with this filament at 35mm/s with the first layer at around 40% of that speed.

Question 2

Does this have any other additives in it other than the extra glycol? I intend to use this for aquarium parts and am concerned about leeching

Accepted Answer

Are you sure you want to ask the internet/commercial market this question (and trust the answer)?  You probably want to look at "Food safe" filaments that have been certified by an agency you trust (and trusting an agency can sometimes be a big ask), then go check the certification via that agency. BTW, PETG isn't PET+Glycol, but rather a mix of normal PET (>50%), and PET where the glycol(ish) "group" has been replaced with a larger molecule: CHDM (<50%), making it "glycol modified". If you care about that level of detail, you should read up on it (organic chemistry), preferably from books (or curated sources) in a legitimate library or school (vs. the internet). You should also treat what I said at least as skeptically as any prior sources you had on PET-G. All sources deserve skepticism, online sources especially.
