It is worth buying PET plastic in cases where you plan to engage in FDM 3D printing (where material is built up layer by layer). The finished product is easily treated with varnish and turns out extremely durable. In this case, the risk of model deformation is practically non-existent.

As a rule, PET plastic is most often used as a support structure and is removed after printing is finished. Its scope of application is quite wide. It is wear-resistant and does not conduct electric current, withstands high temperatures, and does not dissolve in water. PET plastic is particularly popular in the food industry.

A significant advantage of PET plastic is low thermal expansion. In other words, you don't have to worry about the print peeling off the platform. PET plastic does not require the use of special insulation chambers, as is the case with ABS.
