Basics

  • A Abbreviation for PolyEthylene Terephthalate Glycol-modified
  • A PET (Plastic) Copolymer with Glycol
  • It's main advantage is it works better in FDM 3D Printers and some other applications

DIY From PET Recycling?

  • needs to be explored, would allow the plentiful PET recycling to be used more effectively for 3D Printing
  • Can you break down the polymer into raw materials chemically then do the reaction?
