does someone have an idea how to find “Green-tec” or “PETG” between dozends of PLA samples…?
memorize! to label your stuff dammit.
anything else?

2

try bend it and you should see the different maybe?
PETG is quite stretchy and took many bend to break them apart.

3

Doesn’t PETG normally have a semi-transparent, crystal like appearance? Or are you looking for a solid color PETG?

4

i should have a solid black sample, PETG but i found 5 black samples… the Bending idea is a good starting point.
how about green-tec? sould be stronger too or?

5

My spools come with labels on them. But I’ll start double checking them all now

6

no i dont blame the vendor, got a box of samples and fillament rest (3-8m each) partly from makerfair party rest from hackerspace or bought samples

7

Never try Green-tec so I don’t know.

8

Actually burning them and observing the color at which they burn might be a solution, someone posted a video showing the different materials (ABS, PETG, PLA) burn in different colors. (definitely do outside)

9

Petg is more springy than pla and less likely to snap when bent over on itself.

10

This would only work for determining PETG & PLA not Green-Tec.

11

okay found the PETG, sadly read the burning test to late…
wait i still can confirm my “guess” i’ll catch a torch…

anyone has experience with that geen-tec? (in therms of bending burning smelling) and in terms of printing?
