The material has to be sourced, picked up, sorted, cleaned, shredded, and remelted. The extrusion process of shredded flakes is also more difficult than the extrusion process using perfectly sized virgin pellets. Products made from virgin material tend not to include these \"end of life costs.\" However, closing the loop and minimizing our use of resources is important for a future on this planet, so we hope you are OK with paying a bit more for this recycled filament. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCan I bring my discarded 3D prints for you for recycling?

It has low odour and doesn’t warp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePETG is much more sensitive to humidity than PLA. Store the spool in the plastic bag when you don’t use it, and keep the relative humidity in your printer room or printer enclosure below 45%. If the spool has been exposed to humidity, you need to dry it before you use it. Search online for DIY drying solutions and dedicated filament dryers. Even a freshly opened spool may have absorbed moisture during transport and storage and may need to be dried. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePETG parts can handle higher temperature than PLA parts. PLA softens at around 60°C, while PETG can handle almost boiling water temperature without deforming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis particular PETG appears to have very good bed adhesion. If you don’t have a magnetic steel bed or similar bendable bed, print a small part first to make sure you can remove it easily before printing something large. A thin layer of glue stick on the bed may make the print easier to remove.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KiwiFil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48225771552938,"sku":"754523725819","price":59.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/2867\/7802\/files\/KiwiFil_Lime_Green_rPETG_1kg.jpg?v=1776488115","url":"https:\/\/www.kiwifil.shop\/products\/lime-green-rpetg-100-recycled-1-75mm-1kg","provider":"KiwiFil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
