🛠️ Let VARVX configure it for me – choose the best orientation and strength Answer 4 quick Yes/No questions below, pick the usage class & material, and describe the part.

💪 Must the part withstand force / load?

✨ Must the exterior be ultra-detailed? ?We print with a very fine layer height (0.12 mm instead of standard 0.20 mm). This brings out fine details and smoother shallow curves, but significantly increases print time (and price) and can slightly reduce mechanical strength. 💡 Tip: On standard straight and functional parts the difference is barely visible to the naked eye – standard layers are usually best (choose No).

🪄 Must supported surfaces look as clean as the rest of the part? ?When part of the model overhangs in the air (angle > 45°, red areas in 3D view), temporary supports must be printed underneath. Choosing "No" (standard supports): a tiny air gap (~0.2–0.3 mm depending on nozzle) is left so supports can break away, leaving the supported surface slightly rougher with ~0.2–0.3 mm dimensional variance. Choosing "Yes" (dedicated support interface): we print the contact layer with a 2-nozzle printer using a separate release material at 0 mm gap, keeping the supported surface smooth, strong and accurate (slower & higher cost). 💡 Tip: If the supported side is hidden and ~0.3 mm variance does not matter, choose No – it is much more affordable.

☀️ Will it be used outdoors, in a car or warm area?

🧪 Choose usage class and filament: Click a usage class and select a filament below – see heat resistance and best use cases, and the price updates instantly.

Describe what the part does and how it is loaded:

Where and in what direction do forces, bending or tension act? (e.g. "bolt pulls from this hole", "clip bends outward" – we orient the layers for maximum strength)
Where is the part used and which surface must look the cleanest?

✓ We will orient the part on the build plate and configure print settings based on your answers.

3 Supports

Automatic (recommended)The 3D view highlights all surfaces that may require support. Exact supports are reviewed and configured for the best result before printing. No supportsIf the model prints fine without supports.

✨ Smooth & stronger support surface – dedicated interface material (Support Interface, Z=0 mm)The support contact layer is printed on a dual-nozzle printer using a separate release material (e.g. PETG ↔ PLA) with zero air gap (Z=0 mm). This leaves the supported surface smooth and dimensionally accurate, and adds significant strength on thin or curved parts because the bottom layers are pressed firmly together rather than printed loosely in the air. 💡 For thicker parts where the underside appearance does not matter, you can leave this unchecked – standard single-material supports are much more affordable.

Why PETG Is the Go-To Functional 3D Printing Plastic

Ductile impact resistance, chemical stability, and 71 °C heat deflection at an affordable price

🛡️ Ductile Strength Without Brittle Failure

PETG flexes slightly under overload instead of shattering, making it the premier choice for snap-fit latches, mounting clips, and mechanical brackets.

💧 Water, Moisture & Chemical Resistant

Impervious to water, oils, salts, and mild acids/alkalis – ideal for marine accessories, workshop jigs, and humid environments.

✨ Zero-Gap Support Interface with PLA

Because PLA and PETG do not bond thermally, our dual-nozzle printers use PLA as a zero-gap (Z=0 mm) breakaway interface on PETG parts for ultra-clean overhangs.

Frequently asked questions

When should I choose PETG over PLA?

Choose PETG whenever your part experiences mechanical stress, impact, snap-fit bending, moisture, or temperatures between 55 °C and 70 °C.

Do you offer translucent / clear PETG?

Yes! In Step 1 you can choose between solid opaque PETG HF colours and light-transmitting PETG Translucent for LED diffusers and sight glasses.

Is PETG suitable for outdoor use?

PETG handles rain, frost, and general outdoor use very well. For prolonged direct UV sunlight or temperatures up to 100 °C, we recommend ASA.

What wall and infill settings do you recommend for PETG brackets?

Our "Strong" preset (4 perimeters + 40% gyroid infill) provides excellent multi-directional strength for functional PETG hardware.

How much more does PETG cost than PLA?

Only pennies per part – PETG is priced at €24/kg compared to €22/kg for PLA.
