PETG
Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol
PETG is the tougher, more durable cousin of PLA: prints easily with low fumes and no enclosure, but requires slower speeds, medium cooling, and a glue barrier on the bed to prevent over-adhesion,plus drying if you want clean, string-free results.
Ease of use: Easy
This filament is easy to print. Worth watching: it can be a little moisture-sensitive.
