PET / Copolymer materials

Polyethylene terephthalate commonly abbreviated PET, PETE,
or the obsolete PETP or PET-P is a thermoplastic polymer resin
of the polyester family and is used in synthetic fibers; beverage,
food and other liquid containers; thermoforming applications; and
engineering resins often in combination with glass fiber.
It is a tough, durable plastic and is ideal for use in any prints
that need to be stable when exposed to water. PET prints
at a relatively high 250°C for best results. It is transparent
in its natural form and the colours are non-opaque.
When printed, the transparency becomes translucent.
For 3D printing, it is a great colorless, crystal-clear printing material,
but it's also available in limited clear colors.
There isn't any odor or release of fumes when printing, but it
should be used in a well-ventilated area.
