Moisture-Resistant Polyester 3D Printer Filaments

Parts printed with these polyester filaments absorb less moisture than other types of plastic, making them ideal for use in wet or humid environments. They are more durable and flexible than PLA, and easier to print than ABS. Use these filaments with fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers, and print onto a heated print bed. Printing onto a cool surface causes the molten filament to change temperature rapidly, which can warp your designs. Although finished parts are moisture-resistant, these filaments are sensitive to humidity, and should be stored in a dehumidifying cabinet or a sealed container with desiccant for the best printing quality.
PETG contains glycol, so it is less brittle and easier to print than PETT and PCTG. Carbon-fiber-filled PETG is often used to make rigid parts that are difficult to bend and break. Finished parts are easier to thread and machine than unfilled parts. Because these filaments are abrasive, use them only with abrasion-resistant nozzles.
Static-dissipative filaments make parts that protect equipment from electrostatic shocks by diverting electrostatic discharges in a controlled way. Create tool handles, tote trays, enclosures, and other parts that are used near sensitive electronics. To adjust the surface resistivity of your printed part, change the temperature of your printer’s extruder. As the extruder’s temperature increases, the printed part’s resistivity will decrease.
Antistatic filaments make parts that prevent the buildup of static electricity. This helps prevent the buildup of dust or fibers on the surface of your finished part. However, they are not as effective at preventing electrostatic discharge as static-dissipative filaments.
Tensile strength is the best measure of a filament's overall strength. Similar to the stress applied on a rope during a game of tug-of-war, it's the amount of pulling force a material can handle before breaking. A higher rating means a stronger filament. A tensile strength of 5,000 psi and above is considered good; 12,000 psi and above is excellent.
Maximum exposure temperature is the point at which a printed part will begin to deform. Above this temperature, your printed parts will start to lose structural integrity.

Build parts and prototypes from these filaments using Dremel fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers. An RFID tag on the spool communicates with your printer, automatically adjusting it to the correct temperature and print speed for the filament material and notifying you when the filament is running out.
PETG is more moisture resistant than ECO-ABS, making it a great choice for printing parts for use in humid or wet environments. Generally, PETG’s other properties fall somewhere between those of PLA and ECO-ABS. It’s more flexible and durable than PLA, but less so than ECO-ABS. It’s harder to print than PLA because it requires a heated printer bed, but easier to print than ECO-ABS. PETG filaments should be kept in a sealed container with a desiccant.

Similar to the stress applied on a rope during a game of tug-of-war, it's the amount of pulling force a material can handle before breaking. A higher rating means a stronger filament.
