Black PETG is the workhorse of this range, and the spool most people reach for when a part has to do a job rather than sit on a shelf. It takes impact better than PLA and warps far less than ABS, which makes it a sane choice for enclosures, mounts and mechanical fittings printed on an open machine. Black also disguises layer lines and fingerprints, so a part that gets handled daily still looks presentable months later. If you are stocking one PETG spool for general repair and replacement work around a workshop, make it this one.
