Comparison
PETG vs ABS
The tiles and the table are the listed numbers. Source wording sits under Sources & notes.
How to read this pair
Nozzle, bed, and drying in the table are those catalog cells. Enclosure required is blank on both rows, so the table does not say ABS requires an enclosure. A draft-free enclosure, little or no part cooling, and ventilation are process advice on the ABS printing guide. Outdoor UV is not on these sheets. The outdoor guide puts ASA ahead of PETG and ABS for sun, and it does not publish a UV-hours test. Toughness is not on these records either. This page does not add an impact or heat-deflection number.
