Prepare the printer
- Clean the build plate and prepare it with the right surface: We recommend to print PolyMax™ PETG on BuildTak® or glass with glue.
- Level the build plate.
- It is recommended to clean the nozzle when you change the material to prevent partial clog.
Note : It is recommended to use an enclosure to print PolyMax™ PETG to prevent warping issue. It is recommended to place the printer in a well ventilated area
Prepare the filament
- Carefully open the resealable bag, remove the spool and close the bag back to preserve the desiccant bag.
- It is recommended to store PolyMax™ PETG in the PolyBox™ to prevent moisture absorption which will lower the quality and the mechanical properties of the print.
- Load the filament in your printer and wait until you have a consistent extrusion.
- At the end of the print, make sure to correctly store the filament back in the resealable bag if you are not using the PolyBox
Start the print
When the print begins make sure the first layer is correctly laid down and
sticking well to the bed before leaving the printer to finish the print.
Post process
PolyMax™ PETG can be sanded to obtain a smoother surface.
PolyMax™ PETG offers better mechanical properties than any other regular PETG making it a good candidate for a wide range of applications

The Specialty family provides unique filaments from Polymaker to unlock new 3D
printing applications.
Technologies
JAM-FREE™
Jam-Free™ technology improves the heat stability of Polymaker’s PLA filaments with softening temperatures over 140 °C. As a result, Polymaker’s PLA filaments show minimal softening in the “cold end” and can melt rapidly once entering the heating zone, leading to excellent printing quality with zero risk of nozzle jams.
WARP-FREE™
Warp-Free™ technology enables the production of Nylon-based filaments that can
be 3D printed with excellent dimensional stability and near-zero warpage. This
is achieved by the fine control of micro-structure and crystallization
behavior of Nylon, which enables the material to fully release the internal
stress before solidification.
ASH-FREE™
Ash-Free™ technology allows Polymaker’s filament which has been designed for
investment casting to burn off cleanly without any residue, enabling defect-
free metal parts. 3D printing has been used to produce investment casting
patterns as it cuts down both the cost and lead time for small-volume
production runs.
LAYER-FREE™
Layer-Free™ technology involves exposing a 3D printed part to an aerosol of
micro-sized alcohol droplets, generated by a rapidly vibrating, perforated
membrane called the nebulizer. The aerosol will then be adsorbed by the
surface of the 3D printed part and render it smooth and layer-free.
NANO-REINFORCEMENT
Nano-reinforcement technology is applied to produce filaments with excellent
mechanical properties and printing quality. It dramatically improves the
toughness of the material by increasing its impact resistance.
STABILIZED FOAMING™
Stabilized Foaming™ technology is used to produce foamed filaments, whose foam
structure can survive the printing process and be inherited by the printed
parts. This enables light weight 3D printed parts with unprecedented surface
finish
Hardware
Polymaker offers 3D printing accessories to optimize the user experience with their filaments.
PolyBox™
PolyBox™ is a dry storage box designed to provide the optimum environment for
3D printing filaments. The PolyBox™ is compatible with all 3D printers and can
house two 1kg spools or one 3kg spool
PolysherTM
The Polysher™ is a desktop post processing unit designed to remove layer lines
from PolySmooth™ and PolyCast™ prints. The Polysher™ uses Polymaker’s Layer-
Free™ technology to create a fine mist of alcohol which evenly smooths the
model
