What is the best PETG filament? 10 different PETG brands tested

Is there a bigger difference between PETG brands? Which one is the best? 10 different PETG filaments are tested in this video, to see is there any bigger difference in mechanical properties.
Tested PETG filaments: Prusament, Polymaker PolyLite, BambuLab PETG basic, Creality, Sunlu, eSun, Overture, Eryone, AmazonBasics, Hatchbox.
Everything is printed on Prusa MK4 at 245°C.
The test includes: tensile testing, layer adhesion, bending, creep, temperature resistance and impact strength.

Again, we got a filaments test from an Engineer with PhD in engineering for free. The presentation of the video makes me remember my research assignment years ago. Thank you again for your work. You are amazing.

[LibertyEver]

These material test videos are *very* valuable and nobody does them better. Thank you.

One of my engineering philosophies: One good test is worth 8, 567 expert opinions.

I really appreciate your work on these kind of videos. I do use your data to make choices in the filament that I buy. I’m sorry that these videos are not always that popular, but there is no other place you can go for this kind of comparison tests. Thank you!

[migueldias]

Go for the ads man, it's just 5 seconds for us, and you're getting more as you deserve for all the work!

[tinathecrafter]

Thank you for doing this test, Igor. One of the many things I like about your videos is that you test so many different brands, not just those that are common in the USA. This is great for those of us who live in the rest of the world! It is interesting how similar these PETG filaments were in the tests. The manufacturers probably work with more or less similar raw polymer pellets.

[josebescos]

You are my reference for testing in the world of 3D printing! Please continue to inform us with your usual rigor.

[gerGoPrintD]

Igor, I’ve noticed that you’ve taken your videos to a new level lately! What happened? They have always been must-see, but now they are a treat to watch!

[cameronlea]

I think these kind of videos are of worth for people either new to printing or the channel. Gives a quick shot for people looking to buy materials for a project, without having to spend a day going over individual filament reviews. Thanks you!

[JBJHonez]

I really like your videos more than others because you don’t have a lot of nonsense in them. You do what the video is about without a lot of filler. Keep up the great work

[dexperiments]

Yes, you are the only person doing consistent material reviews. I'd love to see comparisons between colored and uncolored filaments of the same type from the same maker.

[stanleyhavok]

do the ads, you put to much effort into this channel to not earn what you can. I feel the brand comparison tests are highly important. Great job bothering to show us how the material shows up. ( and the " 2 holes" on the spool... What are these guys thinking, its a simple issue to correct and so annoying problem, I know its nit picky but still)

[fredhamilton]

Love the new presentation! Easy to understand, fun to watch, and no wasted time! Well-done!

[CalMariner]

I love his sheer amount of detail! Passionate and educated.

[KP-tyyl]

I really like the new format. Thanks for all of your work! Very useful information, especially the low impact resistance.

[ZXRDan]

I like your tests. A quick conclusion section where you tell us which one you would buy for what purpose, or which you may not want to buy.

I'm a total noob and I'm struggling à lot. So that kind of info would help me and other noobs.

Thank you.

[lennartjuhh]

As someone who just last week got a first 3D printer (Bambu Lab X1C) this is really valuable information as I don't know much about filament brands yet. You really did an amazing and thorough job. It is much appreciated that you would put in so much effort without having (as you state) a lot of views. Thanks! 👏

[SeanCMonahan]

Seeing all the samples fold simultaneously in the oven was surprisingly satisfying haha

[walthanas]

Thank you, I was just looking to buy a new batch of PETG filament, and this comparison helped me narrow down my choice.

[GRainwater]

The new format is great! Such a comparison is very valuable.

[XxMsrSzprzxX]

Commenting for the algorithm, excellent testing depth, thank you.
