Our Materials: PETG

Diane Barker

PETG is our accessibility-tier material — easy to print, widely available, and offering a solid balance of toughness and flexibility. It's the material that makes our "lite" product line possible.

Keyboard Components: A budget-friendly case material with decent impact resistance and a slight flex that some users actually prefer acoustically. PETG won't match the rigidity or heat resistance of PC, but for a standard desk keyboard it performs well.

Impact Toys: PETG is the material behind our lite-tier impact products. These are priced for accessibility and intended as an introduction to our designs. PETG handles repeated impact well enough for personal use, but it lacks the stiffness and heat resistance of our standard and premium tiers. We're upfront about this — lite products are a taste of the design, not a substitute for the engineering-grade versions.

Functional Parts: Good for general-purpose parts that don't face high heat or heavy sustained loading. PETG's chemical resistance makes it a practical choice for parts exposed to cleaning solvents or mild chemicals.
