Why is this PETG rated for higher temperatures than PLA?
PETG is a glycol-modified polyester with a glass-transition temperature well above PLA's, so parts hold their shape and stiffness at higher ambient and operating temperatures. The '240°C class' rating refers to its printing window — it extrudes reliably in the 220–250°C range, with the spec card listing a 220°C baseline.
